You can even play with friends! With multiword support you can have your item pools randomized together so one player can unlock items for another's! Even between different games entirely.

Additional features -Multiword -Randomized bug on eat effects -Difficulty settings -Alternative goals -Start with portals open

How do I play? There are two steps to get it working!

  1. if you are hosting you are going to need to download the archipelago client and go through some steps to host a world either locally or on their website. There are great instructions for this from a community member who has helped me with the archipelago side of things

Better instructions found here! https://github.com/Rooby-Roo/FrogmonsterAPWorld/tree/main

Quick note SAVE FILES ARE DIFFERENT FOR RANDO SO DON'T WORRY IF YOUR PREVIOUS SAVES DON'T SHOW UP

I've been having a blast playing this with some friends and hope you do too! Frogmonster is on sale until the end of spring sale so if you got some friends you want to rando with it's a great time to pick the game up!

If you have any issues or questions feel free to join the discord or post on the steam forums

Thanks everybody hope you enjoy -Ben
