Frogs used to be my younger brother's favorite animal when he was little. I'm not sure if that's still true now that we're both adults, but it probably still is because frogs rule. They're just cute lil' pals.
My partner and I have a shared sentiment of being wary of any game that markets itself as "cozy" or "wholesome" featuring frogs as a main selling point, for similar reasons expressed in Backloggd-loathed student project Tender Frog House, to the point where they made a "frog-counter" while watching the 2023 Cozy Direct and increased the number by one every time a frog appeared on-screen. It reached at least 16.
Not to knock "wholesome" games completely, there are plenty of games in the aforementioned direct such as Beastie Ball that show incredible amounts of promise, and I added plenty to my personal wishlist. I guess my point is just to be wary of frogs as a marketing-tactic.
That said, I'm a hypocrite because I would go up to bat for the Frog Detective games in a heartbeat.
Also, Froggy's Battle is fun and good. It loses points because it uses words like "boi" and "froggo" but the core game is very much there and it's better than most games I've played recently.
$2 frog fun.
