Skip it if you…

- Players looking only for a solo game will not use the cooperative mode
Our take on Ballfrog
The physics-focused movement gives Ballfrog a distinct traversal system, but it sacrifices the predictability of standard platforming controls. Bouncing, swinging, popping, and tongue-based movement make travel less conventional and require adjustment.
What is Ballfrog?
Ballfrog is a challenging ball-rolling platformer built around experimental controls and physics-based movement.
Ball Frog uses his tongue as a grappling hook to grab, swing, and fling himself through the map. Other mechanics can bounce, swing, or pop him during play. Checkpoints save progress for the next time the game is played. The story follows Ball Frog as he travels to the fly god to rescue captured frog friends. The game includes cooperative play with friends. Flies collected during gameplay serve as in-game currency and can be spent in the shop on cosmetic hats and skins.
