Had a game idea - what do you think?

Hi to everyone! i recently (not quite) started creating one game with an cool idea, for me at least.

The idea is this:

  • Frogger but in reverse, where you place the cars and cant let frogs reach the end
  • And it is one rouge like, you die, you reset
  • And it is like one tower defense, you get money killing frogs, create cars in roads with money

That is the base of the gameplay, after some time i will add other stuff like:

  • Flying frogs, to kill them you will need to buy one car jetpack to kill them
  • Big frogs, one frog that has a lot of hp but it is slow
  • And these type of stuff

Maybe add some variations like that to the cars too, like one car that shoots, another that generates money, etc.

What do you think of this idea?

(I just wanted to say that i already started creating the project, im just trying to get some opnions)

Sounds fun! I want to see a brilliant frog that can evade all cars.

May I playtest your game?

The game intro was very impressive!

spoiler

I didn’t expect to be walking in 3D in game intro :rofl: .

I wish I could see all lanes without moving. There might be a bug preventing me from buying a flying car upgrade. The small frogs are so cute! :frog: :frog: :frog:

Thanks for playing the game! i added the camera movement to give an harder challenge, “you need to search for blind spots in your defense”, that kind of idea, but i see that maybe some players will not like that idea, i’m going to add one option in the run settings to make so you can see all the lanes. i already seen one bug at the store that makes you cant buy the car jetpack, but can you confirm to me that it is one button that bugs out in the shop guy dialogue? if that is the bug it only exists in the web and windows version, for me (i use linux) that bug just does not exist. thank you so much for the feedback!

When I click that shop guy’s buy button, a big yellow text shows that I already bought. I can see a new white car in the left red bucket. After that, I can get out and get in the shop and buy that again as many as I want, then I can buy cars in the red bucket for $100 each but nothing happens.

oh, ok, that is actually not a bug, you just needed to re-select the common car, the car jetpack only gets created after that, sorry, i think that i forgot to fix this, thanks for remembering that this exists!
