One of the best indie platformers of the year now has 8 player co-op: “Tongue swing from other players”
Frog Sqwad, an indie co-operative puzzle-platformer, has introduced support for up to eight players. The update expands its chaotic, physics-based play by allowing frogs to use their sticky tongues to swing, pull objects and interact with teammates, making co-ordination and mishaps central to the experience.
Players explore changing sewer environments to collect food for the Swamp King and meet a daily quota before extracting. Eating makes characters progressively larger, eventually creating a powerful Megafrog, while damage can reduce them to helpless frogspawn requiring a teammate’s help; the game also includes unlockable gadgets bought with earned gold.
In short
- Frog Sqwad now supports eight-player co-op.
- Tongues enable swinging, hauling and teammate chaos.
- Collect food, meet quotas and grow into Megafrogs.
Explained simply
Frog Sqwad is a cooperative puzzle-platform game in which players control frogs exploring sewer environments. They use sticky tongues to swing around, move objects and help one another through obstacles.
The frogs collect food to meet a quota for the Swamp King before leaving each level. Eating makes them grow larger, while taking damage can shrink them to frogspawn that needs a teammate’s help; players can also spend earned gold on gadgets.
