Frog’s Adventure

PC, Mac

You could, perhaps, argue that there are already rather a lot of cute games about frogs, with comic fonts and non-sequitur-delivering wildlife. I would too, but only in the context of what a good thing this is. So welcome Frog’s Adventure, a delightful and daft little adventure game from the Sokpop Collective.

A bad fairy has cast a spell on a little frog to cause him to become self-aware! And, it seems, forget how to both hop and swim. In an effort to return to his previous froggy bliss, you must chase down this naughty fae, and in the process help out many other animals who have also found themselves on the wrong end of an errant wand.

Created as a sort of “entry-level” game, Frog’s Adventure is a super-simplified point-and-click, where you gather inventory items, and use them to solve quests, in turn to gather more items, for more quests. The duck wants its egg, but to get that you need to fix the ladder, but to get the bear to fix the ladder you need to fix the bridge, but the plank is in the shop and costs two coins and you’ve only got one… That sort of thing.

It’s all utterly charming, in that familiar Sokpop way, except this time the game is entirely hand-drawn, with the sketches scanned in and then wobbly animated. The result is really sweet, boosted by that… I don’t know the word for it. That sort of childishly positive speak that makes games like Frog Detective so adorable. It’s that.

I can’t really say any more than this. It’s lovely, it’s cheap, and it’s longer than you might expect. It’s definitely one worth playing with a kid or two shouting suggestions of what to try. Just remember to check all the long grass for lily seeds, and not to miss lily pads you can jump onto above and below, as well as to the left or right. Oh, but wait, that’s not how sites do tips! There’s no traffic in just saying them! Ahem, let’s try that again…

Welcome to Buried Treasure‘s tips for Frog’s Adventure, the new game from Sokpop. Here you’ll find all the information you’ll need for solving the many quests and challenges in Sokpop‘s Frog’s Adventure, available now from Steam.

With these tips.

Stuck On Frog’s Adventure?

Well, all you need to do is keep reading this text until we’ve managed to flesh it out to 300 words, and the extra sets of ads have loaded into the sidebar. Not too long to go now, because soon I’ll have hit the word count my editor got told at a meeting once was necessary before Google will take an article seriously, even though Google themselves have openly denied that this works, yet every site continues to do it anyway, more out of superstition that science, with the soul of ever staff writer being drained from their body as they knowingly string along readers for H2-headed paragraph after H2-headed paragraph until they finally give the meagre amount of information they know the reader was trying to find.

But How Do We Know What Information You’re After?

Because these sorts of articles are literally written based on what people are searching for on Google. There’s no editorial value, nor desire to provide information the site might think would be useful to its audience. In fact, these tips pieces are a direct rejection of the very concept of an audience, written entirely to scoop up the searches that are already happening, in an idiotic arms race against every other site, instead of creating original content that an intelligent, deliberate audience would want to read. And Google’s spiders love H2 headers, hence why every one of these articles is broken up into chunks like this.

So if you’re stuck in Frog’s Adventure, make sure to check the long grass for lily seeds, and don’t forget that sometimes lily pads are above the platforms and you can jump onto these too.
