Well, now what? I'm waiting for morning and i don't know it it's dead. No idea. 

Sadly your frog had died, but it looks like you took good care of them! You can start a new frog by going back to the main menu and choosing “restart”

Hey sg,

we hope you doing great. I am Areeba Malik (aka Titania) from the BrewOtaku-Team, we are launching our first homebrew gaming magazine soon. We loved your work and we have mentioned your game “Piropa” in our very first issue.

Please share your contact details if you would like to have a digital copy of our magazine. As we intend to sell the magazine at a very affordable price, you would need to keep it confidential for you only, of course you would get a free copy.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Oops sorry, I had a similar comment on my other game and didn't mean to reply the same thing here! You should see a list of downloads right above the comments section; download the .gb file, and load it in a Game Boy emulator.

I noticed that the frog's years of life continue to count even after his death if you don't quit the game. Is it wanted like that? I stopped at 155 years old^^

Oops! I'll fix that in the next version, thanks for letting me know!

OMG thank you so much for playing! Your commentary was so wonderful to listen to! You took such good are of your frog that they never got sick or dirty (and hint: the butterflies might be easier to catch if you can get them to stay in one place somehow...) <3

Yay! Looks so good on your bright green GBC with a plant-y backdrop! Also... pet your frog for me? They look so sad
