Game:
My Pico-8 demake of Frogger (1981 Konami)
trying to keep the original arcade game vibes and look&feel.
I actually finished it like one year ago lol and quite quickly; in one week the core of the game was there but took quite some time for tweaking difficulty ramp, few touches here and there. I initially imagined adding some Prog music to give some sense to the title but finally opted asking @Trog and his son to prepare 7 of the 26 random tunes the original game has, along with the main theme.
There are 15 level layouts, increasing enemies (snakes and otters). The timer is actually 60 seconds instead of the 30 secs, thus making the remaining time bonus easier to get.
Thanks to:
@Trog and his son for the music

You for playing the game!



As always, this is so very good! Takes me back to throwing quarters into this thing while eating pizza, hahaha.



@2bitchuck Thanks! I actually indulged a couple extra months because I wanted to add some kind of artsy intro but today I've decided against and to publish it in its most genuinely 80's form.



Woo it’s out! I love that the frog movement and animation feels just like the original. Sadly, I’m terrible at playing it (also just like the original, heh). I clearly should be more careful in real life crossing streets. Well done! 🐸
