The playtest is LIVE!

Ribbit. It's time. 🐸

Another Gang of Frogs Playtest has begun! This is the biggest update we've made to the game yet (we keep saying that, and we mean it every time)- nearly every system has been touched, and a lot of what you're about to play will feel different from last time. We can't wait to hear what you think.

To join, head to our Steam Store Page and hit the "Join the Playtest" button. No gatekeeping - everyone can jump in. The playtest will run for one week, so don't wait too long! 🎮

The main changes

• A complete enemy revamp. Every enemy in the game has been reworked. We're also bringing The Baron back into action.

• A completely redesigned mission flow. At the end of each level, players now choose from three different exit points, each leading somewhere different: Bono's Menya (Healing & buffs), Gunther's shop (cards & abilities), or a Weapon room (random weapon drops). Every run will play out differently depending on the path you take.

• Weapons now have perks, Making each weapon feel more distinct and worth building around.

• Deckbuilding - first version. The card system has taken a big step forward. Get in there, unlock new cards, and start building your custom deck to bring into new sessions.

• More robust multiplayer sessions, with improved invite and join functionality. Co-op has never been smoother - gather your crew.

• A heap of Audio and visual improvements to make the gameplay experience more immersive and engaging.

• Jumping mushrooms! Use these fun and bouncy level features to traverse the map or maneuver around tricky combat situations.

We've made some cuts

• Biomass objectives are gone (for the time being), replaced with a simpler enemy horde to hunt down.

• The old First Time User Experience has been removed. the previous version was too long and put a whole level between you and the actual game. The new version is shorter, simpler, and gets you into the action faster.

• Tattoos are out for now - we're rethinking how permanent upgrades work.

• No quests needed to unlock vendors - We give you access to everything right away.

• A few weapons have been disabled - The Laser, Spinner and Charge Rifle didn't make the cut this time around, as they do not yet meet our quality standards for weapons. What's left hits harder and plays better.

• Grub health pickups and Frogulators have been disabled. Health pickups and respawning is currently a bit different than before; the only ways to heal currently are with healing abilities and by visiting Bono's Menya Cart! In Co-op mode, dead players will respawn in the vendor/weapon rooms between levels as long as a remaining player makes it there.

Gang of Frogsstill has plenty of development left, and now we're primarily focusing on how everyone feels about the core gameplay loop and theme. More enemies, environments, weapons, perks and cards will be added in the future.
