How it feels

A grim hand-drawn RPG where you carefully time every strike and dodge against relentless frog warriors, with a stern voiceover guiding a desperate fight to reclaim a shattered kingdom.

What players say

Players praise the gorgeous art and narrated story, but many report frustrating and inconsistent hitboxes that sour the combat. The game is short and linear, with lots of backtracking. Reviews split on difficulty: some find it fair, while others blame the jank for making it harder than intended.
