Frog Fractions
Found an extremely weird indie game that seems simple, and sort of funny, but then gets more weird, pretty complicated, and funnier. And then gets weirder.
Spoiler: it does not really teach fractions very well.

I really liked the originality and the "I don't quite know what will happen next sort of feel". Give it a try, it took me a good 45-60 minutes to 'beat' it.
(Sorta spoiler below--or 'interest pique-er' depending on your perspective)

There's even a shmup part! It's a bit sloppy, but over quickly enough and mainly there for variety.

Re: Frog Fractions
Yeah! A friend of mine is the author. I contributed the music for the boss scene.
I'm not usually into indie games, and my opinion is obviously biased, but I thought it was a hilarious game/flash thing worth playing all the way to the end at least once.

Yeah, I mentioned this game in another thread. Small world.

Re: Frog Fractions
Blargh.. search fail. I checked (with/out quotes!), sorry. Didn't see any thread, and thought the game was so cool, it could use it's own thread and others should play it.CMoon wrote:Yeah, I mentioned this game in another thread. Small world.
Plus I figured we could help if anyone gets stuck, especially in a certain unusual (not to spoil it) middle section. I found that part pretty tough, but my skills in that particular genre are pretty rusty.

Re: Frog Fractions
Don't worry about it. Glad some other people saw that game. Amazed that some of the talent on this board helped make it.MommysBestGames wrote:Blargh.. search fail.

As soon as I saw "Fruit: Like a billion", I knew I was hooked.
Love this game. I just learned how to do fractions, and that there's no juice in space apparently. I wish bacon milkshake perfume were a real thing.

Re: Frog Fractions
This game zipped on by, but not before I drew a picture of a dragonfly yelling "oh noes!" while being sucked up by the end of my work visa signature.
I wonder if there's a way to fail the visa application process - supposedly I got them all right the first time. I guess next time I'll just yell "bugs" repeatedly. Also, I was rather disappointed that there wasn't really more of an endgame, especially with all the new content they threw at you.

Re: Frog Fractions
the way this game progresses into out and out crazy is fantastic - brilliant fun.
