I usually wait until I've fully completed games to review them but I just love this game so much in the short time I've played it! In Froggy's Battle, you play as a very cute anti-capitalism, pro-trans rights froggy who's simply trying to vibe and have a good time skateboarding. Waves of rude enemy frogs are trying to hurt you so you fight back through attacks with your skateboard, skills and equipment. After each wave/level you get a choice of three cards with various upgrades, and while the pool of items and skills isn't very large, there's enough variety that each run can be different as different combos of items and skills lend themselves to different strategies. This game is a roguelike, so any progress and equipment you gain are lost at game over, which is just as well - since the game is so simple and short, including permanent buffs would make the game too easy and less fun, imo.

Admittedly I mainly wanted to play because the art style is just so darn cute, but the gameplay really hooked me and I found myself seriously invested in my runs, with each defeat adding to my determination to progress further the next run. Each run takes just a few minutes to complete - my first run to beat the game on normal difficulty took just under 6 minutes. I haven't won a run on hard mode yet, but so far the differences in levels between normal and hard is really well done - the levels are harder but the enemy types are the same, so your strategies in dealing with them still carries over between difficulties. If hard mode is too frustrating, normal mode is there waiting for you to relax and have a good time with.

If you've never played a roguelike before or are newer to games in general, this is a really solid (and cheap!) game that's fun and is a good way to get introduced to this genre.
Overall, a simple and adorable game I'm excited to 100% and unwind with. 10/10!

The best movie I have ever seen. This is an epic experience from start to finish, and I would reccomend it for everyone to watch.
