You Have To Climb Out

The puzzles are really nice and just at a perfect difficulty my opinion. I don't like that the window can't be resized. No fullscreen is available. You have to override the dpi settings if you are using a 4k monitor. (moving it over to a lower res monitor doesn't fix it). I don't understand why a fullscreen option is not available. I have worked with Godot before and it's trivial to let the user resize the window if you jsut check out the project settings. Sure the game is "cheap" but I do not think that is a good enough excuse. The resolutions of the sprites are not uniform either, there are mixels everywhere so that can't be the reason why the window size is locked.

I can't believe this game about a frog in swim trunks made me cry. The gameplay, centered around picking up and placing blocks, works very well. There are a good number of mechanics for the hour it'll take you, and they evolve and are recontextualized in ways that you'd want from a puzzler. They never get super difficult, but there are some optional puzzles to gather collectibles/story bits that require a bit more cleverness. The story is what got me. It's simple (it has to be for this run time), but elegantly told and extremely potent. I don't want to spoil what the game is *about*, because it's about more than just a frog stuck in a hole. But isn't it crazy when a game has honest-to-god narrative themes? And when they're sincerely told? You will probably see the ending coming, but the way it works itself out is so wonderful that I had to take a lap around the house. Echoing another reviewer here, but I'm so excited for what Matt Goode has next. This game is special, no doubt, and I want to see what he can make with a larger scope/budget. Special shoutout to the music. Very few games of this scale have adaptive music, not to mention of this high quality. Reminds me a lot of Lena Raine's music in Celeste. It's far, far moodier than it has any right to be. Why are you still reading this? This game is incredible, and it's only $1.99. Buy the frog game.

This game is an absolute MASTERPIECE! So short, yet so well thought. I beg you, future player, do not get spoiled this! I sort of did when I read through the reviews and I soon regretted it. I 100% recommend this game. See it like a short story: not too long, hand perfected... and short stories have another defining trait that I will not talk about here ;) Comment for the creator: nice little detail when the title of the window changes!
