How it feels

A short but challenging side-scrolling platformer where you guide a young toad through dangerous, hand-drawn environments with a storybook narrative.

What players say

Players praise the unique Australian environment and charming story, but warn it is very hard with clunky controls and no manual saves. Many note the last level has the best ambiance, and the game ends on a cliffhanger.
