a game about the night my bed disintegrated
Content warning: this game has potentially stressful audio (screeching car tires).
Once a media cycle, the Loveland Frog cryptid makes their appearance to a select few. Though they may be three feet tall, an unusual size for a frog, they are truly a friendly character. However, people find the Frog menacing, and do not understand them. They run away from the Frog, and occasionally attempt to attack them in misguided fear...
It has been three years since the Loveland Frog was last seen, and tonight they have decided to shake things up. They wish to go for a stroll across a busy highway, where many people will be able to see that they truly exist. However, due to their isolation from human culture, they do not understand "vehicles", and so do not know the danger they represent...
This game is a bit spooky, but there are NO jump scares! Headphones are suggested, but not required.
The Loveland Frog is a short game, and takes 2-5 minutes to play. You can control the Frog with the left and right arrow keys, or the A and D keys, to move them left and right, respectively. Your goal is to help them cross the road safely, by guiding them to the other side.
For those playing in the browser (available on itchio here), the game has ended when the victory scene is over. In the downloadable form, it will automatically close at this point.
Made in Clickteam Fusion 2.5. More detailed credits, as well as the source file, are available in the download.
The image for the Loveland Frog is from this recreation of the creature, by Tim Bertelink.
The main music is an excerpt of Four Aspects by Daphne Oram.
Includes samples from 3DMM, MacMillan, Soundstate, Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge, Legowelt, Glitchedtones, and Vintage Optical Sound Effects.
I doubt my ability to produce 16 in 16hrs, but am glad to have experimented with flickgame.
This may be impenetrable if you are not already familiar with flickgame's pixel-hunt rules, namely: each color can be a link to a new image (but often there's only 1-3 clickable colors).
You are the Yellow Jogger's long forgotten rival/friend/sidekick, you were enjoying a nice night time jog when suddenly Halloween, what will you do?, eat candy?, get spooked?, continue with your jog ignoring everything?. The choice is yours i guess.
During a full moon, when all other animals are asleep, the fox spirits leave the forest and gather on the beach where they dance to the strange music which drifts from somewhere across the sea.

This is a musical toy type thing, kinda like electroplankton. It's an elaboration on this (which I didn't make): http://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/6510
You can control different groups of foxes and move them around a musical grid. When you give up control they will keep performing the movements you had them do.
You can make weird dissonant noise or things that are somewhat soothing and nice. Just play around and have fun!
Also, every time you restart the program you will get different sounds.
