Themes from a helpfulness-selected sample of Steam reviews, not the aggregate Steam score.
You play as a frog protecting a farm from waves of insects in an action roguelite. The farm is both your home base and the setting for each run.
Move around the farm to plant, water, and harvest crops, including plants that grow weapons. Fish to gain experience, mine for money, and fight insects with auto-attacking weapons while managing your position and farm tasks.
Choose upgrades as a run develops, shaping your stats and weapon build around your character's traits. Between runs, unlock characters and persistent skill upgrades; pets can help with farm work, combat, and collecting loot, and you can customize your home and garden.
Many sampled players enjoy how farming, fishing, and mining give them active goals alongside fighting insect swarms, making the familiar arena-survival loop feel different. Reviewers also praise the distinct frog playstyles and experimenting with weapons and upgrades. Some players find the runs repetitive, especially because the map and enemy variety are limited.
