About the Game

Enjoy your childhood again playing the all-time classic game of tag. Now updated to modern times with frogs slapping each other...

All players must battle in a tenacious game of survival of the froggest, where one randomly selected player is possessed, and now is frog-hungry. Each player they manage to possess becomes one more weapon against the frogvivors.

  • Online party game.

  • Voice Chat to express your hunger for frog.

  • Short fast-paced matches.

  • Customize your frog to your liking choosing colors and skin patterns.

  • Platformer mechanics to move nimbly around the maps.

At the start of the match, a frog-player is randomly possessed. It only takes a few seconds to turn, so be careful as its structural frogginess becomes matched only by its hostility.

The rest of the frogs have to hide and escape. Be aware, the possessed frog is more powerful, and is unclouded by conscience or remorse.

When the possessed frog slaps another frog, it also becomes possessed. So stay alert: as your friends are converted, your chances of survival grow thinner.
