✨ FROGATTO — the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, pull up a chair 🪑 because we're reading the frogatto man page from section 6 of the manual (that's the games section, iykyk) and honestly? it's giving iconic 💅

🐸 NAME 🐸

frogatto — a 2D platformer game starring a quixotic frog. yes. a frog. quixotic and everything. main character energy fr fr 🐸👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

frogatto [ OPTIONS ]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you run frogatto, you optionally pass OPTIONS, and the frog does his thing 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so frogatto is a platformer in the style of the old arcade, Sega and Nintendo games — like, retro retro, the good stuff 💖

the way the world works is: you're looking at a cross-section seen from the side. so it's a slice of the world, viewed from the side, and your character walks and jumps between solid platforms while fighting monsters. walking, jumping, monster-fighting. the holy trinity of platforming, no cap 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

every single one, bestie, we're not skipping a thing:

  • --fullscreen — starts frogatto in fullscreen mode. whole screen. no distractions. the frog owns your display now 💅
  • --widescreen — uses widescreen mode. for those of us with the long screens 🌈
  • --no-sound — turns off sound 🔇
  • --no-music — turns off music 🎵🚫
  • --fps — shows FPS. numbers go brrr, we love to see it 📈
  • --no-fps — doesn't show FPS 🙈

  • --no-debug — doesn't print debug information 🐛🚫
  • --textures16, --textures32 — uses 16 or 32 bits per pixes textures. (that's "pixes" exactly as the original wrote it, bestie, i'm not touching it 💀) so like, pick your texture bit-depth: 16 or 32
