About A Frog’s Tale

The gameplay is a mesh between traditional 2D Zelda games and the Mario RPG series (Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi).  The game is presented in a top-down perspective with beautiful pixel art graphics inspired by classics from the 16-bit era. There is a strong emphasis on exploration and puzzle solving outside of battle, with a level of freedom and interaction rarely seen in the RPG genre. Enemy encounters lead to classic turn-based RPG battles, but what sets “A Frog’s Tale” apart is a unique twist to the combat system involving action commands synced to the rhythm of the music.

AJ Norman plans to have a playable build in one year to be able to make a pitch to publishers. For more updates, you can follow him on Twitter here. Interested in the thought of playing as cute little animals? Check out my article here: Tamarin Now in Development for Xbox One.
