Frog Detective - 1
Frog Detective -1
If you look up the word Frog, detective, and prequel...well...you'd be reading a book and not playing this unofficial prequel to the Frog Detective games!
So put down that book and pick up the gauntlet that has been thrown down at your feet, to solve a mystery like no other.
Best played on an actual Game Boy (a pocket would be best!)

Cool demake! Are there any secrets I should search for, or have I seen everything upon beating the game? And is the title Minus 1 or -1, or is it just another mystery?🐸
Thanks! For the name Minus 1 / -1 works, I actually couldn't decide on which one so it really is a mystery in a way.
There is a secret in there, something to do with the main menu but I won't give it all away....😉
Oh how silly of me, I actually just remembered a secret to do with Lobster Cops portrait :D. That's one that could be fun for the wonderful retro achievements you made!
thanks, updated everything on retro achievements side
No problemo, thanks again for making the achievements!
It's been super cool to see the average playtime for the game, I had originally seen the game as a 30-45 minute experience, an hour tops (hence the joke at the end haha) and it's been so cool to see that actually be the playtime!
(Also funny to see the people who speed through it for the cheevos, 4 minute speedruns abound haha).
played this on my 3ds, it was super cute and fun! :D frog detective 4everrrrr <3
Aw yay! Was hoping people would download it and play it on a handheld, great choice!
