Frog Grower Shroom Croaker
For the better experience download windows version!
In "Frog Grower Shroom Croaker" you play as a frog navigating a dark swamp. As you leap around, you eat shrooms that make you grow larger and slower. However, your peaceful foraging is disrupted by The Old Man who relentlessly chases you. Your goal is to evade the old man while continuing to grow by eating mushrooms, all while navigating in the dark.
Game was made in a week for a Godot Jam 2024 by me.
Theme was "Size Matters", so the whole gameloop is build around growing in size and transforming yourself from a hunted to a hunter. Being a small frog you can hide under the mushrooms and growing bigger you lose your ability to eat small shrooms and jump high. HTML5 version suffers from really bad shadows, i strongly recommend windows version.

Fun game, even in the browser it looks quite nice. Loved the atmosphere. Though I was having some trouble eating the shrooms, didn't realize I needed to hold the left mouse button and the area to eat them was quite small.
Yeah, there were 3 eating mechanics:
1) you run around with open mouth and eat everything, it was too easy
2) you have to wait for animation to eat the shroom to finish to move again, it was too hard as The Old Man keep getting hits upon you
3) the final implementation: you can activate bite at any time and move while animating, but to actually consume mushroom you need to be the right size and stand right in front of it when the pop up shows up, so the gameplay is more dynamic and more skill needed.
