What's your favorite part of Frogatto? Least favorite?

Currently; anyone who is capable of / interested in making levels has SVN access, so all the UMC (as of the last release) can be opened in the editor. Our community is still very small.

My favorite part…well, there’s a lot of things. But what catches my attention most was how pleasantly-smooth the game ran for me. Honestly, when I downloaded it, I had very little hope it would run well; I have a very weak PC and less-fancy-looking games have lagged terribly for me. But…I’m not sure how it was coded so perfectly, but it runs like a dream. ^^

My least favorite part? Well actually I’m pretty cool with most things, though I do feel the need to complain about…well, about something a lot of people praised: the music. Now…it is very high quality music, the instruments are beautiful (especially the flute), and I do like a number of the songs, but the soundtrack as a whole has one noticeable problem - lack of a melody. The music is good, but it’s too randomly-played at times, the notes going all over the place. It’s terribly un-catchy when this happens, and it happens in enough songs to be noticeable. The .ogg file “FrogattoStage1” is perhaps the worst offender of this. It’s…again, the music isn’t bad; it’s just unmemorable at times.

I hope that I don’t sound too harsh. ^^;

That’s probably because of how much we had to optimize it to make it run smoothly on the iPhone. Glad you like the game!

No, it’s really spot on. I think I really was making some of the music a bit too improvisational and not sticking to the mechanics of melody enough. It’s really something I intend to refine as the game continues maturing

Thanks for the feedback
