Frog Fractions: Game of the Decade Edition (no spoilers, please)

[Lobster Roll]

Full disclosure: I have never played this game.



Several months back, I added Frog Fractions to my Steam wishlist after hearing that it's a (edit) completely regular math game that "must" be played and that it has some spoilers to it that I have somehow never been spoiled on. Half an hour ago, I received an email that it is now available (for free, obviously). So get in there and join me for a first play! Or ... revisit the game that has been deemed a cult classic for reasons that I will discover myself.

 

[Max|Payne]

Is this Frog Fractions 4?

 

[Commodore64]

It's only absurd if you're not a cool dude who loves fractions.

 

[denx]

MEGATON RIGHT HERE

 

[Mirage]

Time for some math.

 

[Deleted member 20852]

Wouldn't be suprised if this wasn't actually a remake, but a sequel.

 

[chrominance]

SIGH

okay

I guess I'm getting Hop's Iconic Hat.

thats kind of what im expecting too honestly

but maybe thats just setting ourselves up to disappointment

 

[Vulcano's Assistant]

I was just thinking the other day about what was going to happen to the original if it was a browser game running on flash, though I suspected it is too famous to not be preserved properly I didn't know it was on steam.

Frog Fractions ver.1.22474487139

 

[Teenage Fansub]

Guessing the DLC cap is pretty important.

 

[RecRoulette]

Goddamnit I don't need this today. Let's get that fucking hat.

 

[Shift Breaker]

You're damn right I'm quitting Mass Effect to play Frog Fractions.

 

[denx]

Hop's Iconic Hat get, no regrets

 

[LordHuffnPuff]

Did you know that at the end of the year, not only is Adobe End-of-Lifing Flash, but they'll also be forcibly blocking all Flash applications from running?

 

[Shelbyville Milhouse]

It doesn't run for me sadly, just minimizes after the Twinbeard logo. Music is still playing but I can't open it again.

 

[TeenageFBI]

Era, should I get Hop's Iconic Cap? Is it more or less iconic than Aiden's?

It's a great hat

Some would even say it's iconic.

 

[BassForever]

Should I go with automatic targeting or not?

 

[RecRoulette]

The hat is worth it. 95 metacritic worthy

 

[ParmeSean]

Yes or no but is this any different from the original game?

 

[chrominance]

Pretty good hat, gotta say.

 

[Dan-o]

Been awhile since I played this. I've played a bit now and it all seems the same... yet... Hmm...

 

[Ghostswillpass]

The hat is VERY new

 

[Hamster Plugin]

Yes or no but is this any different from the original game?

Click to shrink...

No, except for the iconic cap and a different looking main menu.

The purpose of this release is so that the game can still be played after Adobe kills Flash player for good.

[FirewalkR]

This game is phenomenally NUTS and I love it!!

 

[FuzzyAssassin]

The hat is a real game changer!
I always thought that Hop's head looked a little cold, so I'm glad I was able to play knowing he was nice and warm.

 

[PurpleMoustache]

The hat is very iconic

You are in for a beautiful ride, OP.

I'ts much more likely that this is the best way to preserve the game since Flash is getting retired pretty much everywhere this year.

 

[Zomba13]

Just so I'm clear. If I played the flash version there is no need to play this release outside of it being playable without flash.

And the hat thing is just a hat and more of a "support the Devs" thing?

Looks like I'm definitely going to be buying that iconic cap tonight. I'm not one for DLC usually, but that cap is just pulling me in.

 

[Zomba13]

Ok, you know what? You convinced me. That hat is pretty cool.

 

[DocSeuss]

Extremely good game. Not biased for having worked on it or anything. Definitely recommend the hat. It isn't complete without the hat.

Jim is an absolutely lovely person, by the way. Buy all his shit, give him podcast money for topic lords, play Frog Fractions until you've fractioned all of them.

Is this Frog Fractions 4?

Click to shrink...

Yeah, PC Gamer posted a bit with Jim today about that.

 

[FoneBone]

so is the "hat mode" good? I haven't played Glittermitten Grove yet but recall seeing some disappointment with FF2/3/however you count it

 

[Zomba13]

If my hat is 200% am I done?

 

[FuzzyAssassin]

If my hat is 200% am I done?

Click to shrink...

How did you get your hat to 200%? I could only get to 188%

Spoiler

Do I need to upgrade my frog all the way in the digging section? I'm stuck at the "fin" screen with the sound test.

what the hell are you guys even talking about, I don't remember a hat percentage and I already made it to the "fin" screen

 

[piratepwnsninja]

I learned so much math, again.

 

[TubaZef]

Just finished it with the hat DLC and that hat adds so much to the game.

Spoiler

That was really fantastic. Got to the "fin", is there more after it?

 

[mute]

Every time someone mentions Frog Fractions I immediately think "you mean Number Munchers?"

 

[bounchfx]

holy shit what

is it different at all??

don't tell me

edit: so is the GOTG version any different, or only different if you buy the hat?

It's on the continue screen it shows the percentage of how much you've completed.
