A nifty little game from team HardCode, a group of DigiPen students. Directly from their site:
"You control a small frog-like creature that can use his extraordinarily long tongue to grapple, bounce and swing around a world of beautiful terrariums. Navigate and explore a variety of picturesque environments, complete different sets of entertaining challenges, all while licking flies and flicking other froggles. The interactive cartoon world of Froggle comes to life as you discover where your tongue can take you."
Team HardCode also submitted it to the IGF for the students' showcase...

Too bad that Froggle is also the name of an old Google product.
ReplyDeleteI believe it was called Froogle - but yeah that's probably close enough to cause confusion...
ReplyDeleteReally fun game! Too bad they didn't get into IGF, some of the winners aren't really that great :/
Thanks for the praise. Yes, the name "Froggle" is similar to the old Google search engine "Froogle"...but I think they're different enough that people are able to distinguish the two.
ReplyDeleteI fear Google addict is right, since yes, it's true that the Product search by google was Froogle, but I think that somehow they indexed also Froggle, for taking even the traffic of people who mispelled the name. Try a search:
ReplyDeleteSearch Froggle
You linked me to the Italian version of Google...we actually appear a little on the American version...easier to find us. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Anyway, this is somehow a lesson to learn, I mean, it's a smart thing to index your site not only for the words you have, but for the words you could have!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Google - trying to address typos - thinks that a page is relevant to 'Froggle' even if the site is full of 'Frooggle' words in its pages, just because you put 'Froggle' it in the meta tags...
