Description
Frog Fractions is the story of a frog who is compelled to defend their fruit stash against hordes of oncoming bugs. Starting with an ordinary tongue, the frog must spend fruit to improve their arsenal with improved offenses, such as a static cling tongue.
History
Frog Fractions was originally created to entertain Jim's circle of friends. It was released to the public accidentally on October 25th, 2012 and became a runaway viral hit, winning hearts and eventually reaching more than two million players. Eight years later, with the looming death of Flash as a game platform, Twinbeard decided to remaster Frog Fractions as a native executable so that it would remain playable for the foreseeable future.
