About this game
GET READY TO CROAK
CROAK is a fast-paced 2D platformer with bouncy gameplay and cheeky tongue mechanics that let you grapple, dash, and pinball through bite-sized levels.
The game is fully hand-drawn using traditional frame-by-frame animations, featuring visuals from artists who previously worked on Cuphead and Rick & Morty!
Hop on a journey as the Frog Prince to save your kingdom from a curse, with nothing but royal resolve! (and your handy-dandy tongue)
Discover hidden secrets, solve dynamic puzzles, conquer epic bosses, and unlock achievements as you delight in a breathtaking environment.
FROG ----> TONGUE-GRAPPLE ----> BOUNCE
A simple two-action mechanic — Easy to learn, but takes great skill to master
Short tap to grapple and climb
Long press to launch yourself off a platform
Hold for infinite pinball-bouncing!
Set in the sprawling swamps, visit the twisted carnival orchestrated by the Witch at the playful Feast Fair.
Through offbeat mini-games, skill-testing challenges, and clashes with grand, eccentric bosses, only the persistent can earn a coveted seat at the ultimate Royal Banquet!
"It's a small hop for a frog, but a giant leap towards the feast!" - the prince, probably
Oh, and there's Bossfights too!
Boop, dodge, and defeat those goofy-looking, over-the-top bosses that stand in your way!
