:: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED :: Read Our Full Review >>Frogs and rockclimbing? What is this madness? Ancient Games takes an original concept and turns it into a series of difficult puzzles, complete with beautiful, photorealistic graphics and a hundred levels that mix zen with frustration. This might be one of the best puzzles in the App Store.
App Description
"a game that is so playable, so beautiful, and so stunningly out of left field that even jaded critics like us can't help but rave about it." -- slidetoplay.com
"one of the App Stores true hidden gems. Ancient Frog is so unique, so gorgeously rendered, that I just have to commend the developer. Its the kind of game where youll find yourself returning againand againand again" -- 148apps.com
"This game isnt just unusual to play, its also gorgeous to look at. Like all the best software, Ancient Frog benefits from attention to detail" -- cultofmac.com
"Ancient Frog has the unnerving feel - right from the off - of being the kind of game that toilet breaks were made for. And I mean in the kind of addictively brilliant way." -- chrisadampickering.co.uk
----------------------------------------
Ancient Frog is a wholly original puzzle game. The aim is to move your frog from one end of the screen to the other, to eat a delicious fly. You can only move one leg at a time, and only one foot can rest on a particular spot at a time.
There's no time limit. You can take your time considering your next move and watching the gentle interplay of light and shadow.
There's no move limit. However circuitous a route you take, eating the fly unlocks the puzzle. You can return to any puzzle at any time for another go, if you want to beat your own score.
You can skip any puzzle at any time from the daisy menu. If you're having trouble with a level, just move on to the next one, and come back to it later.
Each puzzle has a par, representing the shortest number of moves required to complete the puzzle. Achieving that perfect solution will sometimes require fiendishly twisted thinking!
