About
Toss It! An Unfrogettable Adventure is a dynamic 2D platformer with physics-based puzzles. The player is a frog, whose tongue has special abilites: You can use it as a grappling hook and to drag boxes around. In order to collect flies - your well deserved lunch - you have to open doors, balance scales and master tricky jump and run passages.

Challenges
As this was my very first self-developed game, I was faced with a variety of new software, tools and techniques - for example CCC programming.
The smooth movement and physics are the focus of the game, which also means that the respecting parameters had to be balanced frequently. For a natural feeling, I learned about coyote time and implemented it.
I also learned sprite-by-sprite animation and experimented with a 2D asset pipeline for myself.
