What do you think?

Finished the demo!!

On one hand, i think the swinging and launching mechanics lack a bit of strenght or power, like whenever i let go or click, its never "do what feels right" but rather "do what the game feels like its right", when you swing around you expect to come out with speed, launching yourself in a direction, but instead you gain like a meter of distance or two, and it feels so wrong to move like that.

On the other hand though! The art style is quite nice!! And the platforming, especcially on the third level seems to have a lot of potential! It was fun and fairly fast, tight but not too hard, just a simple yet area to navigate.

Overall, i think the general inertia and power you give to the character could be a bit improved (this is a frog after all, youd expect them to be able to jump high and launch themselves with ease), but the art and platform design seemed to be going on a very bright direction, and im excited to see how this develops later down the line, good job and i hope to see more from your works!

Is there anyway to change keybinds or have a stick jump (jump merged into up arrow) option? Platforming is pretty hard (for me) because of the separate jump button. I seriously love this game though despite it, def buying on release

at first, when i saw this game, i didnt expect much. but as i scrolled through the page, i beacame more and more curious. i downloaded the game, and it comepleatly blew me away. the intro was amazingly drawn, and the story made me want to jump instantly into the gameplay. the gameplay is pretty sandard, but due to the amazing art and backgrounds, it makes up for it. amzing game !

sorry for any spelling mistakes this is not my first languidge.

The game looks and plays great! I'm always a sucker for the hand drawn style, it's so underrepresented compared to 3D and pixel games. That said, I am getting MASSIVE screen tearing in the game no matter my refresh rate, so that's for sure something to look into.

Game looks nice! Im downloading to play later. You should put some gameplay GIFs on the game description, or maybe a short video!

Croaking Around is an acrobatic platformer where you play as a little frog with a strechy tongue.

Our little amphibian friend falls down to the deepest parts of the city's sewer system.

He's gonna need to do a lot of platforming to get back up (or a very long ladder idk).

Use your tongue to pull and swing acrobatically to get around the hazardous underground.

The game focuses on simple platforming gameplay combined with thrilling aerial acrobatics and a cute cartoon artstyle.

It's pure fun for the whole family (if it wasn't singleplayer, which it is).
