really underrated game. maybe just too much hype and expectations behind it? regardless, it's a really unique puzzle adventure game that has you constantly using out of the box thinking to progress, but it's never so esoteric that'll you'll need a guide either. really fun stuff.
I get it, this is where Frog Fractions 2 is hidden, but man it's just not fun to play -- this, OR frog fractions 2. I'm so betrayed
Easily one of the best fairy-type games. No frogs to be found here!
This is the one with Obama Shaving (GOAT)

Played the whole thing waiting for it to get to Frog Fractions 2, then it got to the end. I was in the wrong. I did not realize what Frog Fractions really was.
Where are the fractioned frogs at.

At first, I felt sorry for the creators of "Glittermitten Grove". Forced to embed someone else's game into their own, and have their game totally overshadowed by the shitpost within.
But upon actually playing the game, I have realized that GMG itself is part of the ruse. Frog Fractions 2 isn't treated like some obscure easter egg that you have to actively look for in order to unlock. The act of unlocking Frog Fractions 2 IS in fact the very goal of Glittermitten Grove.
So, onto the review of the real game: It felt like a fever dream. A highly nostalgic fever dream, which I guess is what they were going for with the Yume Nikki-esque "wander aimlessly in search of unexplained McGuffins" gameplay, but that final puzzle was wild.
The original Frog Fractions was one-of-a-kind, so it was obviously necessary to make the second game its own thing instead of trying to out-weird the first, but it is not half bad for what it is.

the arg was interesting i guess but the game not so much
some of the minigames were fun but txt world is just boring

the biggest tragedy of this game is it killed the "is this frog fractions 2" joke. the second biggest tragedy is it's just not that good. :(
Use fireworks to dig down and explore. Then hold on.
aight
super goofy

I started playing this, and didn't get far into it before deciding it wasn't worth my time. I thought I had just picked it up as part of a bundle, some trash shovelware that padded it out, but learning recently of its broader context, I do plan on revisiting it. My initial rating is based on my first attempt, though. I will revise when I get a chance to loop back to it.
2024: while moving this review, I realize I do still need to revisit this

Importing your Mass Effect 2 save is a pretty banger joke.

I know that people spent Kickstarter money on this, but the developers should have never released it, instead letting the speculation of what game could be Frog Fractions 2 live on for the rest of humanity.
That's why I'm giving it this score despite having never played it.

i need to gift someone this on steam and force them to play it
This is a somewhat nice base building game that is also secretly the sequel to Frog Fractions. Once you get into the real game, it turns out be mostly a throwback to old DOS 1980s type games, which honestly doesn't do much for me since that was way before my time, but it's still got a lot of funny and memorable bits like giving the option to import a Mass Effect 2 save. That's a solid goof, and this game's got a bunch of those, I just wish I didn't have to play a DOS game to get at them.
This is the worst game I've ever played.
It's quite a bit different from its developer's previous work, but the premise of Glittermitten Grove nonetheless sets up a sprawling adventure filled with discoveries designed to intrigue and delight its player. It's a good framework and it kept me hooked, but only a few of its experimental minigames are successful; some of them seem to have been built for 2016 gaming's cultural zeitgeist and millennial nostalgia, both of which have started to show their age less than five years later. Even so, my partner and I had a great time finding Glittermitten Grove's secrets together, solving its world's puzzles, and eventually hitting credits.
Couldn't bring myself to get very far, but I want it. I want it bad.
very repetitive but EXTREMELY addicting.
