›Story
Renata's parents are world-renown explorers, archeologists and inventors that travel all over the world uncovering the secrets of the past, bringing her with them in their expeditions. However, in their latest adventure, they decide to leave her at the base camp - the Beelzebub ruins are said to be too dangerous!
For three whole days she waits, her pride hurt and bored out of her mind, until she realized: if they haven't returned yet, something must have happened to them! In a hurry she grabs her parents' last invention, the Frogun, and heads to the ruins to rescue them, and prove that she's as capable as them!

Gameplay
Gameplay consists of 3D platforming, with the player utilizing a frog that serves as a grappling gun.
The game features a single-player mode and includes a one on one player versus player option as an unlockable reward.
Development
Development of the game was performed by the studio Molegato. The game was crowdfunded with Kickstarter in July 2021. The aesthetics of the game were inspired by various home console games from the 1990s and handheld console games from the 2000s. In development it was decided that the game would not stick to specific technical limitations associated with those consoles, leading to the use of "32-bit" style graphics alongside "16-bit" style audio.
Frogun was published on August 2, 2022 by Top Hat Studios Inc. for Microsoft Windows, Linux, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S. Limited Run Games published a physical edition of the game for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
Reception
Frogun received "mixed or average" reviews for PlayStation 5 and Switch, according to review aggregator Metacritic; the Windows version received "generally favorable" reviews. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received fair approval, being recommended by 64% of critics.
Reviewers generally noted the difficulty of fully completing the game. In their review, Nintendo Life particularly noted the difficulty associated with racing sections of the game. Push Square's review noted the difficulty of some platforming elements.
