This app is amazing!!! one problem

this app is great, i paid for the full version, it’s great. the only problem is that it needs more. maybe like a story/adventure mode with levels? something like ‘moonlight stage level - get score 300 or above to pass’ or something like that. other than that, it’s amazing. i love the frog☺️

Fun fun fun!

Quite an engaging game! Difficult to learn, but enjoying it a lot, in large part because I like the graphics immensely...will see if I improve significantly over the next week or so...

Fun and Beautiful

A super fun game, easy to learn and play, with good replay value. The artwork is beautiful and it feels like being in a ukiyo-e print. Starts off simple and then gets appropriately more challenging. The variation between levels is good. Definitely worth paying the full bucks for the full version.

My only request would be to ***please please please*** make some new levels. I am very happy replaying the existing ones and shooting for a new high score, but I would love some new variations based on other artwork. I would gladly pay a few more dollars for a few more levels.

Thanks for an excellent game! I can’t stop playing!
