Use of the limitation
The limitation was more of an inspiration in this case. I wanted to be more gruesome with the theme, leaning into dissection of frogs, but had no time. As it stands, the frog is still narratively central!

Gripping narrative, minimalist graphics holding such terrible secrets. I honestly don't know if audio would have helped the experience or not, I was invested either way.
Well done!
Interesting idea. I didn't have my glasses with the 19x scope so I didn't see shit but the missing audio is a big miss for me. Otherwise hoped it would be more fun.
A very nice bitsy with great palette choice. Loved the frog art (which is great)
I won't pretend to understand the narrative here - but I did play enough to get all the endings.
I like a small bitsy project and this one had many nice touches (I particularly like the camera transitions)
A good length for a game jam - consider finishing off this project, I think it's very intriguing.
I find the lack of audio pretty spin-chilling and tense in its own way... I only managed to achieve the "You Remained Closed" ending, so I don't know if there was any jumpscares or not, but I really appreciate the sustained tension by just keeping it silent. Interesting narrative, too! I hope to see it expanded upon at some point!
Damn, a bit of a shame the visuals add to be cut at the end, the narrative you made in this was quite interesting, but from what I understood the guy did some weird experiment that turns people to flies/frogs, and at the end you get a taste of your own medicine and end up escaping through the window(having to interact with the window multiple times to leave, in the same fashion a fly hits a window multiple times trying to leave). I'm saying that the mc did leave, but maybe by the screenshot of the frog those three interacts in the window were to communicate despair to escape FROG. Only thing I didn't get was the child the mc was looking for, was the child the frog? Or did the child become a fly and got swallowed by the frog, that's why the mc was trying to disect the frog...
I might be reading too much into this, but anyway really liked this one, amazing!
What a solid game. This is a good 2 minutes game with a deep narrative! love the retro style looking! I enjoy it. Good work man
Dang the art is great i just hop to add sounds and to make so the screen bigger
Thank you! I'm sorry it was too small for you; Bitsy's fullscreen button covers a lot of the play area so I had to remove it. You can always zoom into the webpage until it's more comfortable!
This is really well made; 10/10!
I like your art, but game lack of challange. Anyway good job!
Yeah, I had to cut a couple of puzzles and the chase mechanic just to finish!
