Hah, no it wasn’t, it’s just a coincidence, but very astute observation! I think the purpose of the 5/4 here to me is to make the atmosphere feel more “contemplative,” like it’s not driving you to move forward quite as urgently as 4/4 would. Pausing for an extra beat on each chord makes it feel more “patient,” if that makes sense.
A level select screen is not a bad idea… It’d be nice to add something like that to save your spot at least for the extra levels. Maybe a level select should appear once you’ve completed the first 10 or something 🤔
edit: Okay, I’ve added a small feature so that after you’ve completed level 10, it’ll tell you how to skip to any of the bonus levels easily from the title screen.
The quote on level 9 is from the king james bible, so it’s written in an old dialect when I guess people said “lift” there instead. So, it is weird in modern English, but that is how the quote goes :o
Well, you would survive but you would be trapped forever on your two tiny boxes. So eventually the frog-person would die of thirst floating out in the ocean.

always fun to hear odd time signatures in video game music! was the 5/4 time signature an intentional parallel with the five-step counter?

Walkthrough updated with new Bonus Levels
Thank you!
edit: also my apologies for adding 6 more levels shortly after you made this video ;-;
Nice! thanks, I will update the video.
The new levels are challenging and fun. Also are you planning on adding a level select screen?
Also noticed a tiny spelling error on level 9. It should be:
"... and it was lifted up above ..." instead of "lift up above ..."

Quick skip feature is good, thanks
Ok thanks, I see now, the text is in old dialect.
Video has been updated with the new bonus levels.
thank you, that’s great!
Fun puzzle game, though. Only problem is that I cannot work out level 7 at all. Is there a way to get my frog hero to platform VII?
You may need to ‘think outside the box’ with regards to the arrangement of the boxes…
ROT13 hint (use ROT13.com to read):
Lbh pna chg bar obk qverpgyl ba gbc bs gur bgure
Solution:
Vs lbh chg gur sybngvat obk ba gur obggbz, vg jvyy yvsg hc gur aba-sybngvat obk ba gbc bs vg
Ohh... I get it now. Does that mean that I have to push the wooden box into the water first, then the heavy block on top of the box?
😉
why not make a boat using float box?
🤔
like this
o = you, x = float box
o
xx
why this is not a win, you can survive forever with this lol
Well, you would survive but you would be trapped forever on your two tiny boxes. So eventually the frog-person would die of thirst floating out in the ocean.
good idea, lol
a great flood
