GAME TECH: Frog spawns a whole new experience
FROGS have a habit of multiplying, but that doesn’t mean they are good at maths. In 2012, one of gaming’s greatest cult moments spawned (ahem), when Frog Fractions was released on the world. Masquerading as an ‘edutainment’ title designed to teach people about numbers, Frog Fractions was instead a trip into complete madness.
For a start, Frog Fractions had nothing to do with fractions. It was a ‘shooting’ game, in which a frog shot down insects in order to protect some fruit. Once the player collects enough of that fruit, they can buy a warp drive (yes, a warp drive) and fly to Bug Mars, leading to a narration on the history of boxing, an attempt to secure a work visa and a run for US president. If that sounds crazy, well, that’s because it certainly was.
