    The frog game might not be fun, but it sure does have a certain style to it that I dig. It reminds me of that very awkward era when people were still trying to figure out Windows 95 gaming, but it's legitimately high resolution.

    The "After you die, the world will move on" line reminds me of a great, albeit hard platformer game. Rain World makes you have to press the restart button in order to respawn, but sometimes when an enemy grabs me I just see where it takes me... Beautiful game, can't recommend it enough.
    Yet its drawbacks are its brutal mechanics... The amount of times I almost survived a day only to get jumped by a tactical bird...

    I really wish they showed the struggles and life of the fish, as the player we just see it as an obstacle when really it is just doing the same thing as us, it is just trying to live. They could have showed the fish playing with its kids and providing for them. Or they could add a lengthy six minute monologue given by the dragon fly character on each death telling us that we are the dragon fly and the fish is the frog.
    I hope they take the criticism and improve on the sequel, and add steering wheel controls so that I can play it. (I only have a usb steering wheel to play with)

    Despite only being $2, the impulse buy alone from it's low price probably gives these games a higher profit margin than really good indie games that have to try desperately hard to justify a game at $20+.
    This is why unorganized digital stores without quality assurance like Steam and Switch are full of developers making $5 games, because it's actually smarter to do that for quick bucks on the home page than to try and fight the algorithm with a good game you spent thousands investing into.
