Croakoloco Releasing May 6 2024! - Breeding & Prestige Update
Hello Everyone!
I'm excited to announce that Croakoloco will be releasing on May 6, 2024! I have been hard at work these last few month polishing and putting the finishing touches on the game, I am very excited to share it with you! Along with finally having a release date I have also added two big new things: Breeding and Prestige!
Be sure to wishlist so you don't miss it!

[h2]Breeding[/h2]
A lot of feedback I received for the game was to add a way to breed frogs. Once breeding is unlocked, frogs can be selected to mate and after some time a new frog will be born into the tank! The baby frog will receive the highest rarity from it's parent, as well as one of the bonuses from their parent. There is also a chance they may become stronger 👀
[h2]Prestige[/h2]
I went back and forth for awhile on whether or not to include a prestige mechanic to the game. A lot of idle games come with them and make it so progression can be made faster with every prestige. I enjoy this mechanic a lot in the idle games I play but I can see how some players might not be interested in starting from scratch.
I decided to add a prestige to the game on the condition that no achievements be tied to it. For those looking to play the game and complete all the achievements, you won't need to prestige in order to unlock them all. Currently as of writing this post prestiging is unlocked after discovering nearly all the frogs and provides a slight buff to the frogs bonus stats with each prestige. The numbers get pretty wild after a few prestiges!
[h2]General Changes[/h2]
- added a new frog stat that golden fly hunters might enjoy 👀
- show some additional information about the frog in froggy mode
- added the ability to sort frogs by bonus type (thanks #ewm on discord!)
- updated the stats page with a description of what the stat does
- added a way to reset game data in the menu (useful if you played the demo a lot and want a fresh start!)
- lots of balancing for how money is earned. income overtime, eating flies, selling frogs, and eating golden flies have all been adjusted.
- various improvements to the UI
- various bug fixes
After the release I will continue to look at feedback and make any improvements to the game that I can. Thanks again to everyone for your support and encouragement!
