Have you ever wondered what would happen if Frogger decided to take up a gun and hop genres? Let’s say, hop over to the FPS side and seek destruction? Meet Frog Legs—the latest indie shooter that’s as goofy as it is fun to look at.

Developer Elliott Dahle dropped the reveal, and honestly? It looks like Frog Legs is about to become your next hyperfixation. We start the journey as an innocent frog named Carl who was just vibing when—bam—he and his friends get sucked into a cursed arcade dimension. Now they’ve got to deal with:

2D enemies trying to flatten them
Doom-style FPS chaos
And 3D puzzles to keep you busy (excuse me, puzzles too??)

Carl’s just trying to get back home. Too bad “home” is on the other side of a neon nightmare filled with bullets, pixels, and unhinged retro bosses.

Fast, Loud, and Unapologetically Weird

From what we’ve seen so far, Frog Legs isn’t trying to be deep. It’s not aiming for emotional or philosophical twists (maybe). It wants to give you a gun, put you in a digital madhouse, and see how long you can keep up.

The gameplay looks like a mashup of arcade-style movement, shooter mechanics on par with some big names out there, and level design that wants to keep you off balance the whole time.
It’s colorful, kinetic, and just the right amount of unhinged. There’s also a save function?! (looks at notes) The 80s and 90s games didn’t have that! That should make for easier gameplay!

Frog Legs is officially launching on PC via Steam, with a release window set for May 19th. The Steam page is already live, and wishlist numbers are climbing—fast. If you want in on the action when it drops, go hit that “Add to Wishlist” button now. Carl would want that for you.

Final Thoughts: Keep Your Eyes on This Frog

Let’s be real. Most indie shooters try to be artsy, gritty, or meta. Frog Legs is just trying to be stupid fun—and that’s a breath of fresh air.

It’s retro without being boring, chaotic without being sloppy, and packed with weird genre mashups that honestly shouldn’t work but kind of do.

If you’re into shooters that don’t take themselves too seriously, love games that feel like lost arcade cabinets from another dimension, or just want to watch a frog absolutely lose it in pixelated combat—this one’s for you.
