I went in blind as people suggest but the joke didn't have enough legs to walk on for too long. It was probably pretty great in 2012 but around then and since then there have been plenty of similar concepts that were also done better. Still, totally free and a short little game so there's nothing wrong with it inherently and achieves what it would like. its commentary on gaming is pretty funny at times.
Pasan cosas raras. Está guapo.
Frogs, Bugs, and Politics
I think it’s best to go into this game blind as it makes the surrealist humor more effective but gameplay wise the game is kinda boring and a bit of a slog at times, which is why I’m grateful they have a level select
If you like weird games this is for you, but if your more into gameplay than story than I recommend it

I was unsure about this game at first, but because my degree had a stats requirement I figured it couldn't hurt to brush up on my fractions a little.
What an experience! I still don't know how to do fractions.

My House, but before My House, and with a lighter tone than My House.
I spent an abnormally long time in the underwater section just to idle and listen to the music.

I know that I gave this a 1 star, but I genuinely think you should play it.
not enough bug porn please add more thanks
lol
stop making me do math
honestly the most reddit game ever made and I'm not sure I dislike that
The boxing segment was the original version of those tiktoks where people talk over unrelated gameplay footage that you see all the memes abt today
What a firework of fun, and the first time I have seen game mechanics pulled of as if part of a stand up routine.
boxing really needs to return to its roots
I love doing fractions! Hop is a cool guy!
I've learned so much holy shit
i love finding out people havent played this and then watching them play it
This game changed my life.
10/10

This is the one WITHOUT Obama shaving :(
Learn some maths. Befriend a dragon. Go to mars. Become president of bug society. Sell government issued pornography. Learn some more maths. The real Frog Fractions were the friends we made along the way.
was probably funny when it came out
I went down an entire rabbit hole playing this and loved it
shitpost: the game
A classic funny game.
I think there's something inherently heartfelt about snarky parody that pays homage to its source material. I imagine this as being similar to the Weird Al Yankovich song 'Dare to Be Stupid', this love letter to something already so wondrous and silly yet established enough for the humor to seep through. It's stuffy but sincere, much like a hug from that sibling that you always get into really petty debates about at the kitchen table.
The variance is also something to note, as every new section has something to add: The facade at the beginning is a super casual and almost idle-ish game, The visual novel segments in Bug Mars, the old-school text adventure filtered through black-and-orange CRT filter, the DDR segment. It all contributes to this wonderful dive into the insight of a development team who truly enjoy the variety of genres and experiences. There's even a really weird business management game implied to be made in ZZT, which is something really nerdy and fascinating to me.
You can chock up a lot of the humor to 'lol randem xD' bits, but a lot of it comes from natural thoughts one would have while playing a game. The underwater section on bug mars leaves a lot of silence and contemplation whilst the brain auto-pilots on finding a way out of the maze and, naturally, a nonsensical mental narration begins to take shape. Jurisdiction in Bug Mars is modeled rather completely after the foundations of American law and war, much as one might stand to compare Ace Attorney's judiciary system to the player's residing country. You can constantly remove and re-add an add-on whose flavor text on the upgrade screen follows a debate between two outside parties, much like the banter between two gamers while playing a video game.
The pattern here is poignant: Video games are media that inherently evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity. This is apparent in most games, linear or otherwise, but Frog Fractions makes it most apparent in an extremely short run-time and with unorthodox panache and wit. This is a game designed by those who wonder about sudden possibilities and switch-ups, a frog upgrade game about 'fractions' suddenly becoming a visual novel, then an exploration game, then a text adventure, and then DDR.
Just like, do what'cha want, man. Everything goes here.

I love fractions and frogs this game taught me all the fractions with my frog. its free just play it and do your fractions like a good little froggy
Just wish more topics were discussed in this game.
Great game! Really helped the kids learn math!
Great for kids!
Surprisingly fun edutainment game about solving fraction problems to defend the fruit from the invading bugs! I learned a lot I think?
