Frogun Encore, developed by Molegato and published by Top Hat Studios, is a standalone sequel that expands the original game’s grappling-hook 3D platforming with faster movement and shared play. Renata and Jake return in a colorful retro 3D platformer built around double jumps, sling catapults, toss jumps, local couch co-op, and exploration-heavy levels.

The frog hook still does the heavy lifting

The Frogun grappling hook remains the core tool for traversal and combat across bright low-poly environments. New moves such as the double jump, sling catapult, and toss jump create more route options through levels. Its mastery-based platforming rewards timing, momentum, and precision, especially during trickier jumps, secret routes, and boss encounters.

Better together, as long as you are nearby

Local couch co-op lets a second player join as Jake, making the adventure better suited for same-room teamwork than remote play. The game also adds collectible goals such as emblems, secret notes, and unlockable hats, giving players reasons to revisit stages beyond the main path. A photo mode with poses and filters supports its playful, screenshot-friendly tone.

Old-school looks, modern hop

The visual identity deliberately channels PS1 and Nintendo 64-era low-poly platformers, giving Frogun Encore a chunky, colorful style without chasing realism. It is available across modern platforms as a full standalone release rather than a small add-on, making it accessible to both returning Frogun fans and newcomers curious about retro-inspired platforming.

Cute does not always mean easy

The game balances approachability with a high skill ceiling, and that tension is part of its identity. Its cheerful style and co-op support make it inviting, but the momentum-based movement, timing-heavy routes, and optional challenges can be demanding for casual players. Its same-room co-op focus also limits players who want built-in online multiplayer.

Best for players who like their jumps spicy

Frogun Encore works best for players who enjoy precise low-poly platforming, momentum tricks, and local co-op sessions where practice pays off. Its improved movement and charming retro presentation give it a sharper identity than the original. However, its lack of native online co-op and demanding platforming make it less ideal for purely relaxed or remote group play.
