      We were really poor and had practically no money to our name, so the few games I had bought from saving up 30 dollars (adjusted for inflation it's a lot more than it seems) over the span of the year or more I played to death with self challenges. That's also why I never owned first party Nintendo games except for the NES ones (dirt cheap at fleamarkets) because they'd go for $80 dollars and I could never afford them so I borrowed friends copies or rented.

      All horror really needs is something for you to care about and the idea that that thing can be taken away from you as a result of error.
      In most horror games it's yourself that is the thing you care about, so jumpscares are a lot easier to portray danger.
      In this game however, the thing you care about is your frog and other frogs, so the thought of these frogs die as a result of your incompetence is what scares and disturbs you. Jumpscares wouldn't make too much sense for this sort of game.

    The things attached to the landscape are actually the beginning, not the end, of their life cycle. In a typical jellyfish life cycle, the jellyfish produces larva/eggs/whatever you want to call it which anchor to a surface, producing a polyp. The polyp is what you see in this game and it grows until mature jellyfish can bud off from the polyp structure.
    There's also a lot of details that I like about this game. The first is that you immediately realize it's an oxygen economy---it is both your life force and your weapon. The second is that there's something symbolic how the oxygen that keeps you sustained throughout your dive is coming from the very enemy you've sought to destroy. This transitions perfectly into a tense ending where you're not sure if your frog is going to make it back to the surface. However, I don't like how they removed the mechanic where your frog turns redder the less oxygen---not only was this needed to see how desperate you needed oxygen during fights, but it also added a lot of tension at the end where you weren't sure if your frog was going to make it since he became VERY red before getting back to the surface. The third is that I like how the game is somewhat based on science---it showcases a parasite that requires the lungs of another to process oxygen (otherwise it's toxic to them), the lifecycle is taken from jellyfish, and the world seemed to have suffered some disastrous climate change that flooded the world (which is probably what put frogs into more contact with these creatures).
    I think the game also adds a lot of tension by the addition of fellow frogs you can save, many of which are almost impossible to save without practice. It's a feels-good achievement to save the first few you find, then it becomes horrific as you make the conscious decision to sacrifice your brethren and to prioritize yourself as the game becomes more difficult.
    Anyway, it's one of those short games that's more art than game (and it does it well). They definitely upgraded the visuals and sped up the gameplay in this remaster.

    24:05 Very true. Around 10 years ago, there was a hidden wave of indie flash-games with great concepts, and some of those were incredibly disturbing. I highly recommend the entire collection of GREGORY WEIR (Babies Dream of Dead Worlds, The Majesty of Colors, Mold Fairy...) Although these are not as beautifully made as others look, the concepts really give the vibes you are talking about.

      Yeah it becomes obvious when the jellyfish captures one of the random dying frogs, or when they begin swapping the 'head' around later on.

    • @HaloInverse
      @HaloInverse 4 года назад +44

      That's the one "complaint" I have about this "remaster". The original had less-detailed graphics, so it wasn't _immediately_ obvious that the "heads" of the "cows" were frog bodies - realizing this _later_ added to the slow creeping horror of the ecosystem. With the cleaner graphics, it's much easier to see this from the very first "cow", and some of the horror is lost.

    I know they're actually jelly fish with a frog on them but funnily enough moose have been known to dive up to 20ft (6m) under water to graze on aquatic plants.
    So it makes sense why they'd look and sound similiar.

    Oh I remember this game from long ago. It was really interesting back then and still is right now. Glad manly got to play it. Those jellyfish were scary. I think the most scary thing was how the frogs were turned happy while they were completely absorbed by them. Back then I didn't really know how jellyfish grow. So I I just chalked it up to some plant like parasite that came to be when the forest was flooded. But that doesn't seem to be the case

    The game definitely got more horrific, especially with the warped vision whenever you're on the verge of death. Not sure if the art style changed, but at the same time, there's not too much of a difference, at least for the characters. I think the appearance of the background is an improvement, or maybe that's just me since it's been quite a while since I last saw a play through of this game. The way the final boss battle is executed might have changed too, I don't quite remember the "big bad" ever really attacking with its tentacle arm things, but again, could just be from a lack of memory because literally all I can remember are frogs, jellyfish things, oxygen needed, radioactive jellyfish things and bubbles, and fighting the "big bad". Still a great game even in the remastered version!
