HOPPY DAYS
I’m not a frog, I’ve recently become pleasingly frog-like. I can croak like a frog, I can perform a froggish sproing-jump, and I can even thwip my tongue out of my mouth and grab items with it, or use it as a grappling hook to pull myself up cliffs and swing myself from ledge to ledge. As a tiny human sea captain in adventure game Time on Frog Island, I’ve spent so much time here I’ve actually become an honorary amphibian.
The original name of was and that still fits the game like a glove. Shipwrecked on a colourful island that’s home to a society of bipedal frogs, I’ve been frantically running around trying to trade things with them. To fix my busted ship I need stuff, and they won’t give me that stuff until I bring them the stuff they want first. And while it initially feels like just a collection of simple fetch quests – bring a frog a feather and it’ll give me some rope – the charming inhabitants and the slowly revealed secrets of the island made me think maybe I should forget about my broken boat and just live here forever and ever.
