I wasn't able to get anywhere once I got the frog (couldn't make it up to the next platform), and I died at first as a mosquito because I went to try to eat the frog (as instructed), before discovering the ones with their tounges out are harmful. Cool idea, good graphics/sound. Reminds me of E.V.O. a little. :)
Very very nice graphics and sound, but the gameplay is quite confusing and frustating. You first tell the player to eat frogs. There are big frogs that I tried to eat, but I died. Then, after passing the big frogs, I found small frogs that I could eat.
After that, I couldn't get any further. I couldn't find birds because I couldn't jump high enough to the next platform.
Brilliant game. Wonderful pixel art and a great sense of humour. I agree that the controls are a little tricksy sometimes but that's the challenge, right? And like other people have said, great ending as well. Really well done.
Graphics and music were excellent, brilliant job :)
Gameplay was fun, too, despite the confusion with the bigger frogs at the beginning, and the need to carefully plan the jumps (in frog mode) to reach higher places.
Liked it a lot! I didn't die at penguins, but that part was a little too long considering the risk of death, in my opinion. Might want to make it a bit shorter, or safer.
Loved this, super 8 bit style. You got three 5 stars from me (theme, gfx, audio). Not gonna mention more because I dont want to spoil for anybody else. Great :D
If anyone stuck on the frog mode, here my solution:
*SPOILER*
1) Jump into left hole, from which you fly as mosquit. You need to turn back to the start. 2) Use long jump (left-right keys) to jump pits. And hight jump (up key) to get to the edge of "islands" between pits. 3) At the start you can jump up on left wall. Move left and you find first birds lair. 4) Second birds lair located slightly higher. Move to left until limit. There is you need jump up to the top platform. To do this move left to the left wall. Then do one long jump right. Now you must land on the brick. Then press left+up to execute hight left jump. Then do one long jump right. Here is second birds lair =)
That was certainly very unique - can't say I've seen a mosquito evolve into a frog by eating some of them! :P The music was great, and really suited the graphic style. I enjoyed the sense of humour present throughout. :D
Very polished, and long too! Penguin and frog modes were a bit frustrating because of the controls. I did manage to become human... and what comes after that.
Excellent game. I almost couldn't get up to the second bird nest, even with your directions. But that's about the only problem I found. Clever, and looks great!
but seems to be very hard, I died every time at the first frogs. Maybe I am just too stupid to play the game or I am too tired. I try it tomorrow again ;)
Wow, very nice! It's simple but I really couldn't let it go before I finished. And the ending is well worthy it! :D The dark humor is awesome, but what I really enjoyed the most was the absolutely nonsense science notion. hahaha The part with the frog almost made me give up, not because it's hard to control (I understand THAT is the challenge after all), but because the wall to the right (right after you become frog) is just tall enough for you to not reach it for a few pixels. It makes it seem like I was doing something wrong or the game had some bug. The tiny hole that led to the left made it look like I was going somewhere I wasn't supposed to go, so I didn't insist on that at first. Once it became clear that I had to go back, I enjoyed everything else. Congratulations, very nice entry! :D
I am not usually a fan of the platformery ones, but love love love this! The bad English I felt add to the humour a bit, gives it a nice feeling of not being serious. Frustrating controls for the most part, but it made it so much more rewarding when I finally completed it. Great work!

Making multiple con troll systems is always a challenge I am impressed you did so many.

Best use of the theme I've seen in this LD. 6/5 stars The game is great too! I loved how the controls are aweful while you are less evolved forms and It keeps getting better. Graphics and audio are great too. And that ending LOL I knew it would happen and I loled anyway. One of my favs :)

As soon as I turned into a frog I couldn't get past the huge wall to get the birds... the height of the jump just wasn't enough :(
Cool idea, good graphics/sound. Reminds me of E.V.O. a little. :)
You can use right+up and left+up to execute hight jump in required direction.
After that, I couldn't get any further. I couldn't find birds because I couldn't jump high enough to the next platform.
The music was really good, again it captured some of the memories I had from Amiga titles.
Graphics were excellent also, the overall style was fitting and enjoyable.
Great game.
I also liked how the difficulty changed as you evolved. Don't know it that was intentional or not.
Gameplay was fun, too, despite the confusion with the bigger frogs at the beginning, and the need to carefully plan the jumps (in frog mode) to reach higher places.
It's just my joke about avolution %)
Awesome graphics, very well used mechanics and the level design is rewarding!

Maybe put some effort on writing correct English next time !
