The frog in the pond that sits on the log. When he flicks out his tongue its unusually long.

Bravo

[@ThanderBleemers]

Get this man a whole roasted chicken sponsorship from big chicken.

[@lordsteele2325]

the fact youleft the big chest in that room makes me so mad

[@ordoinformattus7923]

tactical pause rpg systems have been around for a very long time in CRPGs, all the classics like Fallout 1-2 and BG1-2 did this in the 90s.
its cool to see it in a roguelike with more refined combat and party mechanics

[@zoeymax]

Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 were Real-Time-With-Pause, but Fallout 1 and 2 was entirely turn-based combat. in any case yes it is very cool to see it make a return in newer games.

[@shiyon8947]

i remember that wizardry also have it

[@imALazyPanda]

Not sure how big you are into crpgs, dont really see you playing them. But the pause on combat start is pretty standard with RTwP crpgs. Which this game is definitely a crpg, a pixelart, rogue like crpg mostly focused on the dungeon crawling, but crpg none the less. Usually its a setting that can be turned off but its default tends to be on for most games ive played.
Game looks interesting, havent watched the whole vod, but if it has or is slotted to get an AI editor like Pillars 2, i am more than sold.

[@DP-jt6xx]

Yea when he said it was an interesting take on combat i expected something more unique. Still looks like s dope game.

[@isakmdma]

I love you AA, what a frapjous day, keep up with the good work my amphibian overlord!

[@fracta1eyes]

I remember realm of the mad god. Similar vibe

[@Myownchanelhere]

Oh dude. I want this game.
It's a point and click game???! This is perfect for when I'm just laying in my bed lazy

[@satobi46]

this is like Baldur's gate realm of the mad god tier of game

[@ambiguousamphibianvods]

Ooo I forgot about Realm

[@OldManWilakers3]

@@ambiguousamphibianvodskeep it that way, beat the addiction 😭

[@DantalionNl]

Why does the UI look so extremely similar to stoneshard? The game has the same skillbar, same exact inventory system, even the art style is very similar and the game even has satiety?? but yet it seems to be a different def.

[@Romar-io]

Have you tried Path of Achra? It's a little lacking graphics wise, but pretty fun when it comes to making different kinds of class builds and seeing how they turn out.
It's a traditional roguelike with a twist. It's got a surprisingly user friendly UI that actually feels modern enough for anyone to get used to it.

[@zeke547]

This sounds sick. Will check the video with high hopes

[@dnm20241]

Well, when I came here today I did not expect a Snoop Dogg reference.
Rob continues to astound.

[@Shimakaze69]

Love your vods! are you gonna do another kenshi run? maybe on the genesis mod?

[@JuuzouXIII]

Longsword of bodypillow lmfao

[@real_entless1301]

The song Wrecking Ball by Hana is about her getting some grade A UwU sex. Look at the lyrics, I thought that was funny.

[@erickschusterdeoliveira2662]

seems fun

[@manccaine8192]

I was shouting at my phone I Know where it says defence lol

[@noodlesRawsome24]

Hello Mr frog

Depthish, if you will

[@galmenz6118]

the dnd influence aint even hard to spot lol

[@TrevonTheoriesInc]

Would you ever play matchless Kung Fu?

[@stephaniet9875]

Everything is too small/ hard to see in this game

[@Slibbo]

Not trying to be rude I promise but maybe you need a bigger monitor or glasses because it looks perfect to me, 34" ultrawide

[@stephaniet9875]

​@@Slibbo im watching on a phone dingus

[@ProfessorLange]

Time to upgrade from an Iphone 4s then bub. ​@stephaniet9875

[@stephaniet9875]

@ProfessorLange Its a samsung s23 ultra, iPhones suck harder than a hoover

[@ambiguousamphibianvods]

Yee I felt like it was a lil hard to pick up when I first tried it but I got used to it in about an hour of gameplay. Do agree tho that the pixels could be more readable maybe with white/black highlights or strokes to display the most important information, etc.

[@wrathisme4693]

*I don't trust you for a second that the game doesn't have a story considering you are highly allergic to stories in games lmao*

[@ryuduhayabusa320]

What is up with all the lip smacking?? Like from 14:25 to 14:35 3 or 4 smacks wtf

[@SubjectiveFunny]

I hate hearing nonsense about subs and bits and gifts and bla bla bla during a video...
If people want to support you, let them support you, stop shouting them out.
Lord knows you do not need to pander to people at your level..

[@mariobentivenga844]

1 view after 20 second, clearly fell off /s

[@lurchgurk7824]
