Glenn Froglum is like any other lil frog: he ribbits, he eats flies, and he travels by meditation-induced astral projection.

It's the time of year when the Froglum family holds their annual reunion -- in the astral plane, of course. Getting to the family spiritual altar means crossing foggy chasms. Luckily, the ancient art of astral projection allows Glenn to join together with any spirit stone and swap places; however, that connection can be broken by the troublesome birds and bees. Glenn must avoid his natural foes to make it to his family reunion!

[Challenge Mode: Plenty of spirit stones are scattered as checkpoints. There are plenty of ways to make it across the chasms... but perhaps there even exists some route to get all the way through in one meditation?]

--Controls--

[ WASD ] - move around / direct your astral projection

[ space ] - enter meditation mode and cast your astral projection

--Bug Notes--

- There are no boundaries on the left and right of screen, just... stay within the camera if you want the intended experience
- There are also Bees off screen so...

--Bug Facts--

- All worker bees are female
-Queen bees can lay up to 3000 eggs in a day (wow!)

Phew... 48 hour game jams are tough but we are very happy with the art, programming, brainstorming, and coding that we put into the time we had to work on this. Enjoy the short one level game, and feel free to leave feedback!

Okay, wow, I am surprised that I have not played this yet. Very fun! Honestly, I would love to see more done with this idea at some point! Maybe with different enemies to avoid or powerups to get. Great stuff!

(1 edit)

It's like a frogger-snake hybrid. very cool!

OH!! That is a great description/pitch.  Now I kinda wish we leaned into frogger mechanics a bit more...
Thanks for playing!

This is a cute and simple game, although it is a bit short. :)
