About the Game

You can express Smol Toad’s big personality by collecting and mixing hats and colors!

(Steam Workshop support is planned as a post-launch update)

Now he lives here.

Smol Toad is a small amphibian with a frankly concerning level of confidence. He settles on your desktop without asking permission, eats the local fly population, kicks his ball like he pays rent, and, from time to time, poops just to remind you he’s still alive.

You can interact with him to earn points, but too much attention will overwhelm him. Ignoring him for too long, however, will make him feel abandoned and lose happiness. His emotional state can be checked by hovering over him, revealing his happiness level.

Your job?
Keep him happy, although most of the time you’ll ignore him while he does his thing… unless you want more points. Points come from interacting, when you hit flies with the ball or do a bit of “cleanup work”. These points are used to buy hats. Many hats. Too many hats.

It’s weird.
It’s simple.
Probably not what your productivity app would recommend.

But Smol Toad will keep you company all day.
