Frogun Encore is a 2024 3D platform video game developed by Molegato and published by Top Hat Studios.[2] It is a sequel to 2022's Frogun. In the game, players control Renata and her friend Jake as they work to thwart the evil Fly Bois.[3] It was released for consoles on June 25, 2024.[4]

Gameplay

Frogun Encore features local co-op multiplayer gameplay, a new addition since the first game. The game's levels are designed tightly and fast-paced, typically completed in less than ten minutes.[5]

The game's moveset was expanded to place a greater focus on agility. Players can use ziplines, twirl and double jump, and launch themselves skywards. When playing in co-op, players can bounce off each other’s heads.[6]

Development

Development of the game was handled by the Spanish[7] one-man studio Molegato. Prior to developing Frogun Encore and Frogun, Molegato was known for releasing the twin-stick shooter Demented Pixie and racing game Supersonic Tank Cats.[8]

Encore was inspired by retro 3D platformers on the N64 and original PlayStation.[9]

Reception

Frogun Encore received "fair" reviews according to OpenCritic.

In a positive review from Nintendo Life, the game was praised for its co-op, replayability, and fixes to its camera when compare to its predecessor. They noted that the game's physics had issues.[11] In a mixed review, Gaming Age called it a "serviceable" title, but one that is hard to recommend.[12]
