The bounce effect needs some polish. Also, I feel the game didn't fully lean into the frog theme; you could easily replace the frog with a ball and the gameplay would remain the same. For your next jam submission, I’d suggest exploring the theme’s unique mechanics more deeply. That being said, the game is technically sound and has no major problems👍！

Hey!

I appreciate the balanced & constructive feedback!

I hope I will be able to go beyond basic mechanics soon,very early in the game making/code understanding!

Truly appreciate you taking the time.

PS.

the bounce was intentionally unpredictable due to the shape of the logs, as it seemed more fun, perhaps a little too much? 🤔
