Recently discovered some of your how to play videos and they're pretty great, keep them up! This being one of my favorite games, I can't help but add a few small corrections: 1:45 - At the start of the game, your frog does not *land* on any tile; it *descends* onto the Shard. Landing is an action that allows you to place your frog from the Aether onto any tile adjacent to the Aether, but Descending limits you placing your frog to only the barren (gray) tiles. Your placement directly onto that blue lake tile is actually not legal in either case: if you're Landing, the tile you Land on must still be adjacent to the Aether. Decending onto the Shard only occurs at the start of the game, and optionally when a player exits the Outer Dimensions (not any space as is repeated at 20:32). When a frog exits the Outer Dimensions, they can choose to stay in the Aether or *descend* onto the Shard, and they may only perform a bonus action if they *exited via a die roll*. 17:32 - There is one additional step to Knockback (what you call pushing): if the knockback results in the defeated frog landing on a terrain tile, that tile is destroyed from the impact (you are a 2-mile tall frog after all). Only the topmost tile is destroyed, but if it's barren tile, as in your example, that tile is checked for the fracture and the defeated frog falls through into the Aether. Thanks for the video, and good luck with the channel!
I'm sorry about the late reply, been a bit under the weather. You are correct! Thank you for letting me know, and I'll put the corrections in the video description.
Thanks for the how-to! I found it really helpful, especially as I find the rulebook a bit strangely laid out. One slight tip for feedback is I think it is important to refer to the elements of the game according to their terms/the theme, to make it easier to learn. After this video, I looked in the rulebook and thought "wtf is oomph?" but you were just referring to it as moving crystals, same with "pushing" instead of knockback, "moving" instead of "leaping"
The rule book is written very thematically, which I thought was nice. But that does indeed make it a bit more difficult to actually learn the game. Happy to help! Using simpler terms is a part of my method that I will always use. If the tutorial is really short, I'll explain in the video that the game itself has a different name for something. But in longer tutorials, I believe you will retain the information better if I use clear language. :-)
Just discovered your channel. You have a great way of explaining the rules, we could start right away after your video. And also, very nice choice of games, meets my taste almost exactly. Thanks for your effort. 🙋♀️
I think I missed . Land combat , might destroy tiles on the shard , where the attacked frog lands.. and coming out of the outter demenisions will allow more turns and an ability swap.. but great job!
You can Leap, but it costs you 1 Oomph (crystal) for every step you take. This rule actually always counts when you do a Leap. If you have 6 Oomph available, you could move 6 extra spaces over your limit if you choose to pay that price.
Thank you for making this, and for starting with the goal of the game! Lots of tutorials get into details too quick. This was great.

Great Explanation, thanks!!!
Thanks for making this, really helping me getting playing the game.
Great video! Thank you for the clear, easy to follow explanation. Looking forward to having a go at Cosmic Frog this evening 🐸
Happy to help, hope you enjoy it!
Well explained! Thank you!

Great tutorial. One rule I am not clear on. If your Gullet is completely full, then are you not able to leap?
You can Leap, but it costs you 1 Oomph (crystal) for every step you take. This rule actually always counts when you do a Leap.
If you have 6 Oomph available, you could move 6 extra spaces over your limit if you choose to pay that price.
good explanations :)
👏👏👏
Ty!!
