Frogs love jumping around, catching flies and playing pool with lily pads!
Want a high score? Nail those jumps, eat flies and make water lilies bump into each other. But don't stay too long in the water, those koi are hungry!
HOW TO PLAY:
- Hold Z/X and use cursors to aim your jump.
- Water lilies will sink if you stay too long on them!

Very nice entry, with nice graphics and SFX! It’s very cool and with very good idea!
This game is a beautiful piece of art. The frog trying to get up made me laugh. Falling into the water reminds me of yoshi's Island.
"Beautiful piece of art" is a lot! :D Thanks for playing!
Yo, dog, don't turn me into stone or nothin', but in the file section you can turn on "start-on-page-load" or something, since PICO-8 already has a start prompt.
Oh, I forgot to tick it, thanks :D On the other hand, maybe users prefer to press play themselves?
Well, they have to press it twice, which is boring, yo.
Done :D
Great piece of work, cool pixel art and engaging experience.
Un abrazo desde GC! :)
Thanks for playing! (Y otro abrazo desde Tenerife) :D
This is great fun! The controls were a bit weird at first, seems odd that you can't aim whilst not charging up a jump. However once I got over that I started really enjoying it. The presentation is great, I love all the particle effects and the way the lilies bounce off each other--the underwater koi look great too. Nice work! :)
I hide it so you can enjoy your frog, but it's true that it would make things easier to understand! Thanks for playing!
