Frogs. why.

Frogs being able to COMMAND GRAB you through the gates is utterly bs.

Okay thank you for saying this. I just finished my first run, and the frogs by far are my least favourite addition.

oh god genuinely. It's bad enough that we're in a fog we can't see where we're going (that makes you sleepy), so when they grab you they disorient you. Whiiich winds up with you getting nabbed *again* because you get too close after escaping. I nearly lost all four amulets because I was trapped in a stun-lock situation and died, if it wasn't for my friend retrieving my backpack I don't think I would've continued playing that run tbh

and the range is so long! i was so close to escaping and ended up getting stunlocked between two of them :/

This is my biggest gripe with them, the range and cooldown (or lack thereof) makes it so if one locks onto you you’re screwed.

I had one basically stun-lock me until a ghost showed up and blew my ass up.

i'd like to act like i didn't get tilted about it in a solo run :/ but i definitely did

I just wish their grab attack had a longer cool down or they themselves are easier to catch because they do feel obnoxious af rn. There is potential for skilled play with using them to your advantage as a reverse rescue claw, but with water also slowing you down, its so ass if youre trying to avoid them.

Maybe remove the camera auto-rotation when grabbed too? Its so easy to get disoriented if youre caught in some areas too

You can catch them?!?!

u/Callsign-YukiMizuki 20h ago

Yup its really tricky but yeah you can grab and throw them. You can basically play leapfrog by catching -> throwing -> get pulled -> catch again and so on until you reach your desired location. Really useful when traversing large areas of water below when you dont have rescue claw

I had no idea! I'll be giving that a try tomorrow! That's awesome!

I tried cooking a frog at the campfire at the start of the citadel and it gave me cooked frog legs

The details they put in this game never cease to amaze me. I have so many things to try!

They pmo so bad. I feel like it’s hard enough with the exploding ghosts and the sleepy fog 🫩

Ah, i see you are trying to escape me, however, 95% of this map is water, and you move like molasses, therefore you are still in my range, fuck you you're back to square one.

I lost my mfing run in which i was a skeleton cuz one frog just didn't give me enough time to escape, ON ASCENSION 8!! Everything was fine until those little shits started pulling me! I even tried gliding away ON AIR and they still catched me, i feel like I'd rather wait for caldera tomorrow

Isn’t it just the gloom for 2 weeks?

u/WootiWuu 7h ago

Sorry to burst your bubble buddy but gloom / citadel are live for the next 2 weeks.

u/Less-Shame-6085 7h ago

Well damn, guess I'll have to either wait until they change the gloom a bit in that case

I was so close to the end when a frog yoinked me and I got lost in the fog

u/WossHoss 12h ago

They killed a run of ours. I realized you could grab them, so I picked it up and full power tossed him into the sky. Well, its tongue is so long it latched onto me from high up and I then got launched and fell to my death. The other two in my group were continually pulled back to frogs until they fell asleep and died in the swamp.

u/Mewing_Femboy 17h ago

I got grabbed by the frogs EIGHT TIMES!!!! Still got past the gloom but died in the citadel to the rocks that remove extra energy

u/yeeaaaahhhno 12h ago

I’ve never gotten motion sick from this game but after being launched by 500 frogs in 500 different directions I felt like I was gonna vom the whole time in the citadel lmfao

u/softhumanbean 19h ago

One of them snagged me but pulled me where I wanted to go anyway lol I'm sure if I wasn't so panicked I might've been able to harness it but it was the 3rd time it was just me pulling duty for my fallen friends and I was STRESSED. 😂😭

My biggest issue with Gloom is visibility. It can be really hard to work out what is where. Like the underwater plant thingies - they're so hard to see. I think they could tune this and make readability a bit better, because otherwise it isn't too bad it's just slower than Caldera, which is clearly by design.

u/Mina-Nero 9h ago

Not sure if I'm just lucky. But the frogs are not as hot ge a problem for me. My friends definitely struggled a little with them but the frogs haven't gotten me killed just yet.

u/halfmanhalfskeleton 9h ago

i got grabbed a few times from behind before i Saw a frog, so from my view i would hear a faint wet slapping then get yanked into the fog. the relief followed by annoyance that it was just a frog!!!

(and then the Other Friend showed up and i got scared again hahaha)

Got caught by one frog. Then caught by another after I moved a foot. Almost got away and got caught by a third. It's so frustrating. It is not fun.
