I’ve said before that the idea of something taking Doom shooter mechanics, Resident Evil puzzles, and the 2D world of Frogger, then smashing them all together to create one standalone game, sounds like a tall order. But, Frog Legs does this, and it’s a masterpiece of genre blending, complete with a hefty amount of chaos. I was lucky enough to play Frog Legs before general release, and I’ve since played it three times and purchased it for others because it’s simply that enjoyable to play. Taking only 30-40 minutes to complete, with collectibles along the way as well, there really is nothing to complain about here. Frog Legs, created by solo developer Elliot Dahle, is now available for all through Steam for all, and at the incredibly low price of $2.54 with a 15% release discount, it’s an absolute bargain as well. Personally, I think it’s selling itself short, but at that price, you can get it yourself and decide whether you agree with me. You play as Carl, just a regular frog with a dark past and a battle ahead of him. There are moments of comedic genius, a couple of jump scares, and a whole lot of fun […]

Doom meets Resident Evil meets Frogger. Sounds bizarre, I know, but it somehow works perfectly, and now you can enjoy it for yourself through Steam.

. A game called Frog Legs? Sounded like a joke. But I saw it was cheap and figured, why not? It turned out to be one of the better impulse buys I’ve made. I liked how it felt familiar, with little bits from Doom and old Resident Evil, but still different. I actually laughed a few times, which games don’t usually make me do anymore. Carl is weirdly charming. Some parts made me jump too. Not a lot of games can mix comedy and horror well, but this one does.
It only took me around 35 minutes to finish, but that was enough to get hooked. I already started another run to find the stuff I missed. It plays fast, but that’s not a bad thing. Honestly, I’d rather a game be short and fun than long and boring. I hope more people give it a chance. At that price, what’s there to lose?

I love how it mixes things up. You never really know what’s going to happen next. One minute I was solving a puzzle, then suddenly I was dodging something scary in the dark. The controls felt smooth, and I didn’t have trouble understanding what to do.
Carl is awesome. He doesn’t say anything, but I felt like I got to know him. The world around him feels weird and full of mystery, but it’s not too confusing. I found a few collectibles, and now I want to go back to find the rest.
It’s also really cool that it was made by one person. That makes me want to try making a game myself one day.
I’m definitely going to tell my friends about this. For a short game, it gave me a lot to think about. I’d buy a longer sequel in a second.

Okay, so—my name is Kermit Fries, and yes, I work full time at a Cajun restaurant in Louisiana where I make frog legs every single day. Fried, grilled, sometimes blackened with lemon butter. It's kind of our signature dish. So imagine my face when I saw this game pop up on Steam. I had to buy it just for the name.

But playing as Carl? A frog with a dark past? Dodging bullets, solving puzzles, fighting his way out of chaos? I suddenly felt... strange. Like maybe I’ve been on the wrong side of the fryer this whole time. Watching Carl hop through horror and try to survive kind of hit me.

Am I the villain of this story? Probably. But at least now I understand my “victims” a little better.

Anyway, I laughed the whole time, and now I want to put a tiny chef hat on Carl for fan art. Great game. Five stars. Still cooking frog legs tomorrow though. Sorry, Carl.

This game made me smile a lot. I didn’t expect much, but Frog Legs surprised me. It’s funny and strange and full of little surprises. I liked how Carl looked so serious all the time even while doing silly things. The puzzles weren’t too hard, but they made me feel smart. The shooting was fast, but not confusing.
I finished it pretty quickly, but I wasn’t upset. I actually like short games. Sometimes I just want to enjoy something fun and then go back to real life. It’s also really cheap, so I bought one for my cousin too.
I hope the developer makes more games like this. It’s nice when games don’t try to copy everything else. This one felt new to me, and I’m happy I played it.

This game brought me back to the early 2000s when indie games weren’t afraid to be strange. Frog Legs has that same charm, like something you'd discover late at night on an obscure forum, except now it's on Steam. I loved how it felt unpredictable—one minute I was solving a puzzle, and the next I was blasting enemies in a dark hallway with retro FPS controls.
I finished it in about 40 minutes, but I went right back to check out the alternate paths. There’s replay value here if you enjoy digging for hidden items and small story hints. The humor is subtle but really well-timed. Carl, as a protagonist, somehow works even though he’s literally just a frog with attitude.
Honestly, this is the kind of game I used to dream of making myself. It’s not trying to please everyone. It’s short, sharp, and unfiltered. More indie devs should take risks like this. I hope it finds a big audience.

Great review of FrogLegs, you really captured its chaotic charm and streamlined gameplay. I was looking for something similar and came across https://casinosanalyzer.com/no-deposit-bonuses and realized how niche resources often reveal hidden gems with bonuses. I love that you played it three times and shared it with friends. It really highlights how a compact gaming experience can leave a lasting impression.

That’s hilarious, Kermit! The irony is perfect. You’ve got the most fitting backstory for playing this game! Carl would definitely appreciate that chef hat!
