Walk the Frog is a cute little game from indie developers Walk the Frog. This cute game has you rearranging Post-it notes with landscapes drawn on them to make a path for Froggo to get home.

Helping Froggo the Frog Walk Home

Froggo, who is the main character of Walk the Frog, is far from home. He wants to make it home in time for the big festival called Froggapalooza, but he can’t do it on his own. The way home is all jumbled up and disjointed, and only you can put the pieces back together.

You need to take the little Post-it notes and move them so that Froggo can get from one side of the screen to the next.

Walk The Frog is a point-and-click adventure game, but not in the traditional sense. Most of the gameplay is moving around the landscape. Sometimes, when you are moving the sticky notes around to get the landscape back in the right order, you will have to click on other objects, like NPCs and puzzles, to fix something in the landscape. You might need to plug some lights back in, put a carrot in a leaky hole, or even smooch your best friend.

Along the way, you meet a lot of other critters, including a stork, some flies, a noble dung beetle, moles, other frogs, and more. The dialogue is quite humorous and silly, and there are a lot of lines that made me chuckle.

French Flies, haha.

The Pros of Walk the Frog

Walk the Frog is a beautiful, silly, and wonderful little game. The characters are great; you get a lot of dialogue that is fun to read, cute, and wholesome. The backgrounds are all doodled on what look like sticky notes, and you have to unstick them to rearrange the world to make it walkable for our hero.

The art for this game is so cute that I was instantly enamored with it. What a wonderful idea to have all the little pieces on post-its! The parts all have tons of cute details in them too, like the smiling faces on some rocks and trees, different plants, photos in the NPCs’ homes, and things like that.

Walk the Frog is very relaxing. It has a beautiful ambient sound of crickets, rain, breezes, and a soft piano song in the background that is soothing. There aren’t any timers or points or anything, just you and the story. You and the post-it sticky notes. You and the Froggo.

There is so much detail in every inch of this game. There is a portion where some of the tiles are underwater, and if you move a tile in or out of the water, the waterline stays still as the post-it moves through it.

Look at the detail of the waterline in these sticky notes.

The story of Walk the Frog is fantastic; I really enjoyed the romance subplots between the two moles and then the two main frogs. I love all the characters and the weird noises they make when they talk. And the puzzles! All the puzzles were so awesome. There is a very special puzzle at the end of the game having to do with the reeds and water, and it was mind-blowing how good that puzzle was.

The Cons of Walk the Frog

I had a great time with Walk the Frog, but there were a couple of small issues. One was that the quality of the visuals would suddenly just plummet for no reason. It looked like when you are watching a video online at 1080p, and suddenly it goes down to a pixelated mess. I’m not sure what caused it; I have a gaming PC that shouldn’t have any trouble running this game. I’ve never seen a game do this sort of thing unless it was online, which Walk the Frog shouldn’t be.

The story and puzzles were fantastic, but the game only took me about 40 minutes to finish. I wish there was more! I think it would be great if the developers added a second part where we get to play as Buddy, the other frog, and see what her adventure was like.

But those were the only two issues I had with this very adorable game.

I like how Froggo has his tongue out.

Conclusion

Walk the Frog is probably one of the cutest games I’ve played so far this year. It is a unique point-and-click adventure with some great visuals, amazing dialogue, good characters, and perfect sound design and music. I had a couple of small issues, including how short it was. I wanted to keep playing forever!

Walk the Frog is a great, family-friendly puzzle game with a lot of heart, great animation, and so much good going for it. I love this game, and if you love goofy puzzles, you will love it too!
