About Frogmageddon

Frogmageddon is a chaotic bullet hell survival game from indie developer Sunset Dreamland, released on November 6, 2025 for PC. It’s a single-player arcade title where you play as frogs fighting an endless army of snakes. Initially created for the GMTK 2024 Game Jam, the Steam version adds controller support, achievements, new frogs, and game modes. The story follows a lone frog in a war-torn land, slowly recruiting historical frog soldiers to overthrow a tyrannical serpent king. It’s fast, absurd, and packed with pixel-perfect chaos. Perfect if you love high-speed action and don’t mind dying a lot.

Gameplay

You start as one frog, dodging waves of enemy projectiles while attacking snakes with basic jumps and abilities. Each defeated enemy adds more frogs to your squad, scaling up to hundreds with unique skills like poison spitting or explosive jumps. The core loop is pure bullet hell: dodge, shoot, repeat, while managing a growing army. Controls are tight but punishing, requiring quick reflexes. Later modes like “Infinite Snakes” force you to survive as long as possible. Bosses mix platforming challenges and pattern memorization. The Steam version’s additions include co-op (up to 4 players) and a frog customization system. Play sessions usually last 15, 30 minutes, with permadeath keeping the tension high.

What Players Think

Frogmageddon holds a 4.2/5 on Steam, with 78% of 21,400 reviews positive. Average playtime is 12.5 hours, though 34% of players complete the main story. Community moods skew chaotic (23%) and humorous (19%), with some frustration (11%) over difficulty spikes. Achievements total 85, with completionists averaging 61% of total points. Fans praise the “addictive progression” and “insane frog combos,” while critics gripe about “unforgiving difficulty.” One user wrote, “Best game if you love dying to 400 snakes at once.” Another added, “Why are frogs fighting snakes? Who cares, it’s fun.”

PlayPile's Take

Frogmageddon is $19.99 and worth it if you crave relentless action and don’t mind restarts. It’s not for casual players, expect high skill ceilings and brutal deaths. With 85 achievements and modes like “No Death Run,” it offers decent replay value for completionists. The chaotic fun and frog-centric humor shine, but be prepared for a steep learning curve. If you’re into bullet hell or want to see frogs overthrow a snake empire, this is your jam. Just stock up on health pickups and save often.

The year is 1472 according to the Frogeian calendar. The great Queen Lilith of the Empire of Froge has been slain, leaving her empire at the precipice in the chaos.

But the noble souls of the Empire are resilient. Taking up arms in a battlefield once ravaged by a prehistoric war, a lone Frogeian citizen readies to stain the now overgrown ruins once again. In a cruel twist of fate, the true history of these hallowed grounds are revealed. With each snake bested, a soldier from eras past joins the lone frog warrior's final stand. With nearly nothing to call home anymore and the bright flame of one's will to live on, the true nature of the world is revealed in their final moments. This battle has occurred before and will occur again. All that was will be sundered so it may be reborn in a new age. Can this frog make its own fate? Or will the truth once again be missing in another great civilizations annals of history?
