Software:Frogun Encore
Template:Video game infobox Frogun Encore is a 2024 3D platform video game developed by Molegato and published by Top Hat Studios.[1] It is a sequel to 2022's Frogun. In the game, players control Renata and her friend Jake as they work to thwart the evil Fly Bois.[2] It was released for consoles on June 25, 2024.[3]
Gameplay
Frogun Encore features local co-op multiplayer gameplay, a new addition since the first game. The game's levels are designed tightly and fast-paced, typically completed in less than ten minutes.[4]
The game's moveset was expanded to place a greater focus on agility. Players can use ziplines, twirl and double jump, and launch themselves skywards. When playing in co-op, players can bounce off each other’s heads.[5]
Development
Development of the game was handled by the Spanish[6] one-man studio Molegato. Prior to developing Frogun Encore and Frogun, Molegato was known for releasing the twin-stick shooter Demented Pixie and racing game Supersonic Tank Cats.[7]
Encore was inspired by retro 3D platformers on the N64 and original PlayStation.[8]
Reception
Frogun Encore received "fair" reviews according to OpenCritic.
In a positive review from Nintendo Life, the game was praised for its co-op, replayability, and fixes to its camera when compare to its predecessor. They noted that the game's physics had issues.[10] In a mixed review, Gaming Age called it a "serviceable" title, but one that is hard to recommend.[11]
