FROG

In FROG, you and an enemy will take on the roles of a cute, tiny, adorable kobold and the destructive, massive, demonic frog that is interrupting their life. You’ll build a little house, color in some papercrafts, and then devolve into terrible combat.

FROG is a competitive game for 2 players. One player will play as the FROG who is tasked with destroying all of the furniture in a house before making it’s escape. The other will play the kobold who is desperately trying to not let all of their fine things be destroyed.

It uses the RUNE system created by Spencer Campbell of Gila RPGs. RUNE is a solo tactical journaling game inspired by Soulslike games. This game differs in that it is two player, is one battle instead of many, doesn’t include the point-crawl overworld, and doesn’t encourage campaign level play. If you like this game at all, you should seriously get RUNE. It’s one of my very favorite solo games.

It was created for the ‘Make a Game About the Big Frog in My Pond Jam’ hosted by Meghan Cross. Meghan is the author of Sentinel, Sanctuary, Session Zero, and a hundred other games that you should absolutely check out. She’s definitely made a game you’d love. For me, my favorite is One Particular Harbor, a Firebrands based game about merfolk, pirates, and the royal navy. 

At the time of this release, in order to be within the game-jam window, there are NO papercraft items! If decide to play the game anyway, you'll want to create papercraft or minis for a kobold, the FROG, a bed, a table, a comfy chair, a bookshelf, and a chest.
