Frogun, developed by the talented independent studio Molegato and published by Top Hat Studio Inc., sees you set off on a cute retro adventure. You'll be playing as Renata, a young explorer on a quest to find her missing parents. Your greatest ally on your quest? A frog-shaped grappling hook that lets you jump, climb, and capture anything you come across. With its graphics that harken back to the golden age of PlayStation gaming, Frogun is a nostalgic gem suitable for gamers aged 8+!
Our favourite part? Your grapple! No joke! It's what makes this game so unique and so much fun. You'll have fun grappling anything that moves, and grasping onto walls to prevent a fall. The mechanic is so well-designed that you'll really enjoy learning to master it. The game also offers you total freedom in how you approach each level. It's smooth, addictive, and extremely satisfying!
We liked the game's retro atmosphere that never falls into the trap of those old games given a rushed makeover. The levels are varied and filled with challenges and hidden secrets. The game serves up a balanced challenge and is never too easy or too punishing, so it always keeps you entertained without getting frustrating. And then there's the soundtrack! The music brings some real energy to each level without ever getting repetitive.
Our tip to help you on your way? If you're struggling to find all of the collectibles (especially the carefully stashed purple skulls), try this tip: explore everywhere and use your grapple to test the walls... sometimes you'll find a secret platform! It's also worth paying attention to your checkpoints. If you're about to try a dangerous jump, save your progress first so that you don't have to revisit the entire level.
The plot in Frogun is simple and effective, as is often the case in platform games. You'll be playing as Renata, a young adventurer on a quest to find parents who went missing in an ancient temple. The more curious gamers out there can seek out the pages from her parents' diary that can be found dotted throughout the levels. These pages gradually reveal what befell her parents, adding a nice narrative touch for those seeking a bit more story. So, go grab your grapples and set off on an adventure!
