Frogun Encore releases in 24 hours!
This is not a drill: Frogun Encore is coming out in 24 hours!
Tomorrow starts a new adventure for Renata, Jake, Hatter, and of course, Frogun and Snatch! A whole bunch of new levels and bosses that you can tackle using new, faster moves, and with the help of a friend in couch co-op!
We tried our best to improve in this game in every area that the feedback to the original Frogun mentioned, and I can't wait for you to try it!
Frogun Encore Release Date + New Trailer @ Guerilla Collective!
Hello everyone! 🐸💙 We come with an announcement we're very happy to make!
As you just saw: ✨Frogun Encore will release June 25th!✨ As part of this year's Guerilla Collective (and our publisher's showcase within such), we've revealed not only a brand new trailer, but also a RELEASE DATE!
In less than a month, you'll be able to go around the world with Renata and Frogun, and all their friends, using new moves and facing new challenges!
Thank you for sticking with us during development. I hope you'll enjoy this new adventure!
Additionally, you can learn more about the publisher showcase the game is participating in (along with the other games being announced) over Top Hat's publisher page here:
Today starts Steam Next Fest, which is an awesome opportunity to test lots of demos of upcoming games. And among them it's Frogun Encore!
Frogun Encore is the sequel to Frogun, which takes place three years after the plot of the original game, and I'd love to tell you a bit more about it today.
While most fly bois are good people now, a group of them, under the leadership of the grumpy General Fluff, have begun a nefarious plan to bring back Beelzebub! And so, Renata, Jake and Hatter, along with Frogun and Snatch, embark on a new adventure around the world to stop them.
So what exactly is different in Encore?
Gameplay is faster! Renata can run faster and jump higher, the Frogun's tongue reaches further in less time, and there's a few new tricks that you can pull off like jumping off a zipline with a Catapult Jump, or getting an extra bit of height with a Twirl Jump, or even adding a second jump in the air by tossing straight down any item you've grabbed. And all of these moves can be combined!
A new camera: In Frogun Encore, twisting the camera around is not part of the core gameplay. The new camera, with specific angles to facilitate gameplay, is also a bit further from Renata, giving a good look at your surroundings. It's specially helpfull in...
Couch Coop! Plug a gamepad and play with a friend who will take control of Jake and Snatch! He's got the same moves as Renata, but playing together can help tackle the same obstacles in different ways. The camera will retract to show both characters at once, and you can revive each other if need be. You can even bounce off each other's head if you don't mind the stomping!
More chaotic bosses: In the original Frogun, you'd have to evade a whole slow of boss attacks before you could retaliate exactly once. In Frogun Encore, bosses have many more hitpoints, but are almost always open to attack! You just need to keep an eye open for stuff to throw at them, and to not get hit while aiming at the boss!
On top of these changes, you can expect lots of little different mechanics, new enemies, and knowing a bit more about Renata's world! You'll visit various countries this time, instead of keeping to inside Beelzebub's temple. There's tons to discover, and I can't wait for everyone to see it.
For now that's it! You can check the demo HERE, and make sure to add Frogun Encore to your wishlist if you want to be notified as soon as it comes out. That also would help a ton! 🐸🩵
Hello everyone! I'm really happy to finally be able to tell you about the upcoming game, Frogun Encore!
Frogun Encore was initially going to be just a small add-on to the game, but it's closer to a full sequel with tons of new contents and overhauled mechanics.
Three years have passed since Renata saved her parents (and the world!) from Beelzebub. Since then, it's been a tradition to spend some time at Hatter and Jake's house every summer, camping, hiking and having fun in general. But one day, when they're coming back from a hike on the jungle, they see Jake's town attacked by Fly Bois! It seems there's still some of them loyal to Beelzebub, and under the command of General Fluff, they are scheming to use technology to bring the Lord of the Flies back to this world... So now they have to chase them all over the world to thwart their plan!
New moves, new mechanics
Renata and Jake are now a bit older, and as such, they are more agile and know more tricks! They run a bit faster and jump a bit higher, but also... They can get a lot of extra height by tossing a grabbed vase or enemy downwards, achieving a big double jump, or they can catapult jump out of a zipline to leap over the wall they latched to. They can even perform a little twirl double jump to get an extra bit of height and more precision on their landing! All of that in addition to slight changes on how ziplining to a wall works, vertical autoaim, and lots of little improvements to make gameplay faster and less restrictive than in the original Frogun.
A trip around the world
Flying on Hatter's new plane, you'll discover how Renata's world looks beyond the ruins of the Temple of Beelzebub, from its home region of Mosquia to the dry dunes of Sandalia or the thermal lakes of Yushi. You might even run into some old friends, and even buy hats from them instead of from Hatter!
Playing together
Since Jake (and Snatch!) is coming along from the start, a second player can join at any point during a stage! Bounce off each other heads, race to the end or collaborate to get every bit of treasure along the way and defeat bosses together. It's couch coop like in the old times!
Launching this summer
Development is pretty advanced at this point, and it's been difficult to keep the secret until now, but completely worth it just for being able to tell you the game is coming out very soon, as it's planned to release this summer season!
So, the only thing left to say is THANK YOU! For the support, for the kind words, for the feedback. I really hope you like what Encore brings and that you can enjoy it even more than the original Frogun.🐸💙
Just a quick little update, happy to say the game now supports steam trading cards, There's 6 cards in all, and after that there's 7 backgrounds to unlock, as well as 7 emoticons!
You can view the emoticons below: ːrenatalookoutː ːrenatawinkː ːrenatarunː ːrenatapointː ːrenatafearː ːrenatadedː ːrenatacryː

We hope you can collect all the cards and enjoy this little bonus feature leading up to the upcoming holidays (:
New update out, several more fixes & QoL updates! - 1.92.2
Hello everyone!
It's been a while since the last patch went out, but that time hasn't been wasted! This is the last big update to Frogun, and should solve all known bugs (except a small selection left as they are for speedrunners to keep using as before!), and includes a bit extra QoL features. Without further ado, here's the update!
Patch notes
Made posed models for the bosses to use in their death animations
Made final boss level results not auto-advance to credits if the level was finished before
Added “hold [cancel] to speed up” to credits scene (20x speed)
Made the expert time trial not require a full level emblem to appear first
Made all medals trigger their achievement again when loading the game, in case some didn’t trigger it due to connection problems in the past
Added swap jump/grab buttons option to menu
Fixed wrong settings on vertical fog in Brutal Rush
Shop icons in level select map don't show "completed level" sparkles anymore
Fixed a source of lag near falling icycles
As you can see, we've gone from broader changes to more minute ones, and the game now works and runs better than ever thanks to all of your feedback! 🐸💙
But wait, one more thing!
There will soon be more Frogun-related news, in a way that you might not expect! I've started work on a new project that I hope you all will love. Feel free to follow me or Top Hat Studios on twitter to know before anyone else!
As always, thank you so very much for your support, your feedback, and your encouragement. See you soon!
