Loot Frog

Ich kann einige der Beschwerden über den Grind ehrlich gesagt nur bedingt nachvollziehen. Lootfrog ist nun einmal zuerst ein Bullet Hell und danach ein Incremental – und zwar genau in dieser Reihenfolge. Wer erwartet, dass nach wenigen Minuten nur noch Zahlen explodieren und sich das Spiel anschließend von allein erledigt, ist hier vermutlich mit der falschen Erwartungshaltung herangegangen. Man muss aktiv spielen, seine Runs absolvieren und sich nach und nach stärker machen. Ja, dazu gehört auch ein kleiner Grind. Aber wann ist eigentlich aus ein bisschen Progression direkt etwas Negatives geworden? Ich habe Lootfrog für YouTube aufgenommen und dabei komplett durchgespielt. Nach ungefähr vier Stunden war ich durch – und für mich war die Mischung aus Bullet Hell, Fortschritt und Grind ziemlich gut ausbalanciert. Vier Stunden für einen vollständigen Durchlauf sind nun wirklich keine künstlich gestreckte Lebensaufgabe. Lootfrog weiß ziemlich genau, was es sein möchte: ein kurzweiliges Bullet Hell mit Incremental-Progression. Wer ein reines Idle-Spiel sucht, wird hier vermutlich nicht glücklich. Wer aber wirklich selbst spielen und dabei Stück für Stück stärker werden möchte, bekommt ein rundes kleines Spiel, das seine Spielzeit meiner Meinung nach ziemlich gut nutzt.

Normally incremental games are satisfying, steady, albeit sometimes slow progression. This game isn't that. Grindy slog, bad damage scaling, awful progression pacing, it's really just annoying... I'm at the "end" where its boss gauntlets. All it is, is more bullets, more HP, and sprinkle in some extra enemies for... flavor? I guess? Absolutely pointless and annoying.

[h1]Loot Frog: 2.4h | 100% Completed | Achievements (50/50) | Recommended[/h1] [h1]Achievement Breakdown[/h1] [b]Grindy Achievements:[/b] No. [b]Missable Achievements:[/b] No. [b]Difficult Achievements:[/b] No, it's fairly easy. [h1]About The Game[/h1] [b]Loot Frog[/b] is an incremental game with bullet hell features, where the more you advance in the game, the crazier it gets with projectiles everywhere and you don't even know how to avoid them. The core gameplay is simple: you have a stamina bar that works as a time limit for each run you do. During that time limit, you need to kill a certain number of enemies or destroy a certain number of pots to summon a mini boss. Killing the mini boss unlocks the next map until you reach the final boss for the scenario. The more you progress, the stronger your enemies get and the more resources you can collect to upgrade your abilities. [b]Pros:[/b] [list] [*] Visuals [*] Original Soundtrack [*] Smooth Skill-Tree Progression [/list] [b]Cons:[/b] [list] [*] Too Short / Lacking Endgame [/list] [h1]Should You Buy This Game?[/h1] [b]Yes.[/b] I was on the fence about buying this game due to the number of negative reviews complaining about how unsatisfying the progression felt on release, saying that instead of getting stronger, you would get weaker as you progress. I played the game on version 1.1.0, which had big balance changes to improve all that, and I can say that the game is now quite good to play! I feel like I should really explain this because the game is being made by only 2 developers and they listened to feedback really quickly. So if the balance problem was holding you back, just go for it and buy the game. [h1]In-Depth Review[/h1] [h3]Visuals[/h3] The visuals were what drew my attention before buying it besides the Bullet Hell gameplay. The pixel art creates this whole frog in a swamp vibe that makes it unique. Credit to the enemy variation too. All the enemies have different patterns and styles. [h3]Soundtrack[/h3] I have to compliment it because it's a collection of original tracks that reinforces the arcade swamp feeling that suits the whole game. It's not memorable but it does a really good job of elevating the game. [h3]The Game[/h3] The game is quite straightforward. I didn't have much trouble grasping the mechanics or passing through the levels. The ability interactions are really well thought out. You can chain your dash to reach the spiky ball and make it bounce more times. Or you can get the high jump to blitz through the map, collecting loot and doing a ton of damage with flames on bosses. These interactions make the gameplay fluid and satisfying. The only setback is that I think it's too easy. By the endgame, I killed all the final bosses just by staying on top of them and dodging/abusing impact frames to kill them with flames + buffed attack damage. It's a pity because I could see that all of them had really cool patterns. The final boss battle against [spoiler]Vaelith[/spoiler] caught me by surprise though. The developers did some good work there. [h1]Conclusion[/h1] [b]Loot Frog[/b] is a short, well-made incremental game with a lot of good things if you take your time to find them. Finding out this was made by only 2 developers is also really surprising and I'm always all in for supporting games made with care. And you can see they have a lot of care for this game seeing how quickly they listen to feedback and apply it. It's a pity it was short, but the adventure was fun! Looking forward to the next games.

带有动作元素的躲避弹幕性质的增量游戏，全成就流程在2.5小时上下，可操作性和可玩性很高，升级的数值成长也很平滑，上一个玩过类似的还是咖啡星矿工，比起带有挂机性质的，我更喜欢这种，像素画风的小青蛙也很可爱，加购的支持者包DLC里还有我最最钟爱的换皮系统，甚至皮肤数量还不少，爱死了 ———— 顺便说一句，作者是空洞骑士玩家吧，这最终boss的技能和辐光简直一模一样，激光，追踪球，360°尖刺，真是回想起了打五门的一段美好回忆呢

Congrats, you've made an incremental game with none of the satisfaction of exponential growth scaling that every other game in the genre relies on. Upgrades are so incremental you basically need to fully upgrade the first tree before fighting the 5th stage boss, no matter how skilled you are at bullet hells. You simply don't have the DPS to progress without timing out... ...and then you start the next area, and a bunch of your upgrades are rendered irrelevant. New currency and tougher everything mean you're back to smacking a pot 4-5 times to get a single piece of currency. And what can I spend that currency on? Removing one second from my shield regen. 45 seconds down to 44 seconds. Wow, don't give us all the cool ♥♥♥♥ at once. The game seems to consist of grinding the same level over and over until you've earned enough DPS to progress. As someone who's played dozens of incremental and bullet hell games... hard pass...

【一个毫无趣味性、爽感且各种设计都不合理的扣搜游戏】 客观而言-----从游戏的角度来说 本身可以给60分 虽然不好玩 但也是一个完整的游戏 没什么bug 内容也不算特别少 但结合这个价格的话只可以给55分 而要从增量的角度来说 30分顶天了 （满分100） 游戏最核心的缺点是： 1、资源+升级所带来的成长无法覆盖游戏的难度。 游戏给的资源 基本只够你堪堪打过boss（操作一般的情况下） 然后打完这个boss 以为可以爽一下 结果发现下一关更难了 2、资源清零 打完一个boss后会解锁一个升级分支 但是 但是 新的一个分支 获得的资源要从零开始 体验基本等于从零开始玩这个游戏的时候 罐子只掉一个豆 怪只掉一个币 然后开始马拉松式的打怪升级 （如果作者能把之前分支中的资源类升级 比如多掉一个豆这种带入下一个分支 其实还好一点 能加快游戏节奏 而不是这样便秘式的体验） 3、爽感不足 其实不应该说是不足 而应该说是没有 这个游戏没有给我带来任何的爽感 除了1-5关 也没有任何的趣味性 因为后面的几个关卡就是1-5关的重复体验 不同的只是怪物 多了些陷阱 其他类型的游戏其实也是这样设计 但人家有丰富的技能树 能够秒怪 而你呢？ 普攻速度慢 范围小 伤害低 根本不能用来打怪 技能种类又少 而且都相当没有视觉效果 比如弓箭 你就不能一次射10箭？就不能一直射 速射 散射 非要那么久冷却？ 比如炸弹 这个也是重量级 全程需要跑图放炸弹 怪物踩不踩还很难说 你就不能设计成丢出去 直接炸？ 比如箭塔 你就不能设计成加特林那样？ 还有什么尖刺球 和砸地那个 还需要我自己去捡 作者你自己说一下 这两个技能有趣味性吗？ 而且 而且 这些技能伤害非常低 你特么一次丢10个 如此抠抠搜搜 你做的增量游戏吗？有一点爽感 有一点快感吗？ 一款合格的增量 最少也要做到前期坐牢 中期爽 后期爽到无聊吧 而且你的这些技能有一个算一个 有一点逼格吗？ 你弄个闪电链 一次电特么一群不行吗？增量游戏最核心的技能你都不弄？ 4、价格 太贵了 完全不值 5、中午不全 整体玩下来 一点不爽 资源少 升级慢 打怪难 我全程没体验到秒杀的快感 我是为了增量爽来的 但玩下来只觉得累 我宁愿这游戏永远停在测试版 因为正式版给我体验甚至不如测试版 最近玩了那么多游戏 还是第一个玩到一半就不想玩了的（如果不是中途去洗澡 回来发现3个小时不好退款 我硬着头皮玩又玩了一半 还是放弃了）

sucks

Very good skill based incremental game. Ignore Mixed reviews. Recommend playing on Very hard if you find the game too easy. 3 hours game play on very hard for full achievements.
