As far as I’m conscious, you don’t really have to know any maths to play Frog Fractions. Twinbeard’s edutainment game spoof could be very a lot not what it appears, and later this 12 months you’ll be capable of play a standalone remastered model in a brand new Game of the Decade version.
The game was launched again in 2012 as a free browser game the place you play as a frog consuming bugs and defending fruit. And that’s it. Nothing else bizarre occurs in any respect, and you shouldn’t open this text if you wish to play Frog Fractions blind.
I don’t assume I’m one of the best individual to speak about Frog Fractions, so I’ll chorus from describing it an excessive amount of – as an alternative, right here’s some quotes from Nathan Grayson’s writings about it right here on RPS so you may get an thought of what you’re stepping into when you resolve to play it:
“When Frog Fractions first dropped on unsuspecting doorsteps bundled as an innocuous edutainment game, we all thought we were safe. But we were wrong. So very, very wrong. It was too mad for feeble human minds to comprehend, and it brought about the fall of human civilization as we knew it,” he stated within the intro to A Game and A Chat with Frog Fractions’ creator, Jim Crawford.
“If you put Frog Fractions under a microscope, its DNA would be made up of kitchen sinks,” he wrote, claiming Frog Fractions might be the greatest game of all time.
The game’s sequel, Frog Fractions 2, is equally as unusual. It got here out a couple of years in the past after a very weird Kickstarter, with an extremely trippy video to go alongside it. After an elaborate ARG, the sequel was discovered hidden inside Glittermitten Grove, a game about constructing a faerie village.
It seems to be like Frog Fractions: Game of the Year version will nonetheless be free, although we don’t know but if it has any new content material. It’ll be launched someday “mid to late 2020”, and you may check out the Steam page here to, nicely, you possibly can’t actually discover out rather more as a result of there’s just one paragraph there. I suppose you may wishlist it although.
