Play Time: 26hours Achievements: 103 of 103 Date/Version: 10/05/2025 Rating: 6 out of 10 Pesticide Not Required: It's a insect world out there, and you are here to defend this land. You “the frog” with a company of NPC friends will defend your land from pests. Cute, charming, and a bit well boring in the long run. In short I enjoyed this game but got bored within 15 hours of playing, but at the price point I payed I really can't complain. This game tries to stand out, and while doing so some how becomes boring. Maybe it's due to the poor hit boxes, or the lack of cool skills. Everything for the most part is thematic you have weapons that auto attack, that then can be fused together. Not all weapons have fusions. Each stage Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring have their own aesthetic but almost play the same. You have unique looking insects for each seasonal stage, and have bosses you'll fight against. Any one familiar with this genre already knows what there getting into. There's no annoying bugs to slow you down this is a nice, and sometimes it's fun to play to the strength of each unique “frog”. In fact that's the enjoyable part about the game is the frogs, is the fact they have their own challenges, weaknesses, and strengths. As a “frog” you, beat up insects, farm crops, mine minerals, and go fishing. Overall this is a charming game and worth a buy if your a person who enjoys this style of game. PROS: Art Cute Unique Frogs (more than just cosmetic) Achievable achievements Some creative weapons Unique skins on all the insects per season. Cosmetics to decorate your companions and house and garden. NEUTRAL: Insect Enemies are cosmetically different, granted some charge at you. CONS: Boring and I'm not sure why.

A fun frog/farm-themed two-stick shooter that doesn't overstay its welcome. Enjoy the delight of your first Wumbo all the way to your last. 10/10 would Wumbo again. WUMBO!

March 2025

It's a fun game. It's like a sillier Vampire Survivors with frogs and farming. I've enjoyed it immensely and I'd recommend it If you liked Vampire Survivors.

March 2025

It's a simple little game. You play a frog, you plant crops to help you kill bugs, and use the money from those bugs to grow more crops. It's deeply charming and quite addictive, and it's got a nice difficulty curve between the levels, the pantry upgrades (that you can even remove if you want), and the different quirks of the frogs. (Funnily enough, unlocking Furog was actually harder than unlocking James Pond. Go figure.) The true epitome of "it ain't much, but it's honest work", I'd definitely say it's worth the $5-7 you'll buy it for.
