Some think frogs are disgusting—slimy, creepy creatures, a description likely exacerbated by their moist skin and protruding eyes, respectfully. This school of thought can be found in the fairy tale “The Frog Prince,” with a handsome prince hiding beneath the not-so-attractive exterior of an amphibian. Others view these creatures as charming and even enchanting—perhaps mostly young children and someone hoping to find their handsome prince. There are also those who say they are delicious, but we won’t go there.
Gamers are now viewing the creatures very differently still.
Frog Legs is a horror action game developed by Elliott Dahle and described as a solo game that offers a jump-scare experience. Available on Steam, the game has a short playtime of 30 to 60 minutes.
The description on JPR’s sister site BabelTechReviews (BTR) describes the game as this: “Equal parts arcade homage, psychological horror, and ’90s-style boomer shooter, it’s a short but punchy indie title that jumps between styles with reckless creativity. Does it all work? Not always. But when it hits, it’s hard not to admire the sheer audacity.”
Indeed, the game was intriguing enough to warrant a review on BTR. The review takes readers through the gameplay, story and worldbuilding, audio and visuals, and the title’s strengths and weaknesses.
All in all, the review concludes that Frog Legs is a “delightfully messy genre-hopping experiment,” likening it to a brilliant short film, “full of energy, loaded with charm, and gone before you can get too comfortable.”
