How does the game fit the theme?
In Kero Kata, players control frogs hopping across a tile-based floor, collecting eggs and racing back to their nest. The game plays like Onitama, with each frog's movement determined by a shared deck of cards. The player can risk it by collecting more eggs at once or drawing cards that might give an advantage or disadvantage.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Some of the visual feedbacks, couple of 3D models, the music and sounds

I loved the presentation on this so much!  The ambient sfx really added to the vibe.  It was so comfy!  Very good job and very well-polished

This is really polished and well executed. I did not understand it at first (only the chess mechanic), but finally understood the collecting the egg mechanic after almost loosing. Good job, all of you!

Really nice and relaxing game!

Very interesting chess-like mechanic with moves dictated by the cards in hand. I really enjoyed the art, music, and overall peaceful setting of the game! Great job!

This is a really great concept for a game! It plays on the theme well and leaves a lot of room for thinking ahead to make your future turns go well. Not to mention the aesthetics are quite beautiful and very relaxing. Great work!

I'm not sure if there's a way to switch out any of the cards from the deck, but that could possibly be a good mechanic to implement if not. I think I got stuck with cards that made it quite time consuming just to get the frog back to the lily pad to score, which got a bit frustrating. I recognize that some of the challenge and strategy is born from having to plan out how to get the frog back to the lily pad, though, so it may also not be the best solution.

Hi! Thanks for the in depth review! So as of now the idea is to try and make the best out of the cards you get even if in some cases the combos are not the most ideal (The game draws 5 cards from a pool of 16 so it adds a replayibility factor). If we decide to continue on the game, we'll consider some mechanics connected to the movement cards! Thanks again C:

Really good use of the theme and the game is easy to understand without a tutorial.

Very well polished game with a lot of clever mechanics that allow for a lot of skill expression. I barely beat it 5 to 4 on the first try but obliterated the AI 5 to 1 the next time! The art looks cute and the frog portraits somewhat reminds me of Frog Island. Did you watch the devlogs or is that a coincidence? Great job overall!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for the feedback, happy you liked it and defeated the EVIL AI xD  Frog Island was actually one of the inspirations when I was designing the look for the game! I didn't know there were devlogs to watch tho! I'll definetely go do that now C:

EDIT - I thought you meant Time on Frog Island, but what you mentioned is another game which now I'll have to go play lol

Really good work. Its great to come up with different strategies. Hope you expend on this in the future!

This is a fun strategy game good job on the game!

Submitted(+1)

It's a beautiful game with a lot of detail and well-polished gameplay! Definitely calls for some sort of multiplayer mode, but it's fun even against computer, and has a lot of replayability. A fullscreen option would be nice to appreciate all the detail, but I haven't played in chrome, so maybe i missed something. 

Congrats on a great game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! We will keep in mind adding multiplayer if we ever continue it (lowkey so us developers can play it together maybe xD)

Very polished game with amazing audio and visual. The vibes are great too. Amazing entry.

Submitted(+1)

Cool game! I liked the visuals and the audio, the gameplay was also interesting :)

Wow very nice and polished game. The only thing that I can criticize was that it was a bit confusing at first figuring out how the game worked but once I understood it it was a lot of fun to play. Cool game!
