“Have it open on my desktop a lot but you actually don't do much other than upgrade the grass and Ropuka. You use coins to collect stickers that give you new cosmetics for the island and your character.”
“I've played many of these new desktop idle games, and this one made me pretty disappointed. I expected more to it considering the overwhelmingly positive reviews. Usually with idle games, you leave them idling and check…”

“I love the little frog ₍𝄐⩌𝄐₎ , it honestly feels like I’ve got some quiet company when I’m on my computer. The game has zero pressure, unlike other games where you constantly have to keep up with things like feeding animals. The atmosphere is super calming, and I like that I can…”
— a player, Steam review · 228 hrs played“In what can only be classified as an ultra-idle game, Ropuka was at the lowest level of my idle game "stack" while I spent a few weeks in online training. There's not much to do except let the frog work. I played another idle game on top of it, one which required a bit more…”
— a player, Steam review · 488 hrs played“Very cute 2nd monitor game. You can leave it running in the background and your lil' frog guy will keep cutting and gathering grass, which you then use to buy upgrades. There's honestly not much more to this. You buy upgrades or some cosmetic stuff for your frog or his house,…”
