Description
In this game, players take on the role of Spud and his friend Prince Charming, who has been cursed by an evil wizard and turned into a frog. The pair set on a journey to uncover four ancient elemental essences that have the power to banish the evil and remove the curse. The plot draws inspiration from various fairy tales, Arthurian legend, and mythology from Greek, Norse and Mayan.
The game features pixel-art graphics and gameplay ranging between a Metroidvania and a point-and-click Adventure game, with a rich fantasy-based world full of secrets, five dungeons brimming with puzzles and enemies to explore, and plenty of characters to interact with along the way.
