It's been quite a while, hasn't it? Now that we've announced our next game, I wanted to touch up Frogsong a tiny bit before fully switching gears to the future. There's been some minor fixes and improvements I've been meaning to get to for a bit, so it's nice to finally cross this off my list before going full steam ahead on the next game!
So, what's new?
Steam Trading Cards
The game now has Steam trading cards, emotes, and profile backgrounds! This is something I've wanted to do for quite a while, and they were a lot of fun to make.
Here's a couple of the backgrounds you can unlock:
As always, trading cards will retroactively be sent out to those who have already played the game.
Support for mouse input
Frogsong finally has support for mouse input! This is something I've been meaning to add for a long time, and revisiting the game meant I had no reason not to. By default menus support mouse controls, and you can bind controls to your mouse buttons. Many people have asked for this, so hopefully this should make the game more comfortable for some people using mouse and keyboard!
Little announcement on the title screen for our next game
Look, we're a small team and getting people to know you're making a new game as an indie dev is hard, okay? We're working on a new game called Stomp and the Sword of Miracles, a metroidvania in a world where not everything wants to kill you! I'm very excited about it and wanted to make sure people know about it, so I included a little link in the corner of Frogsong's title screen. Don't worry, you can get rid of it if you want!

Stomp and the Sword of Miracles is a 2D exploration platformer with a strong focus on story and characters where you embark on a mission to save the world from the god of chaos. It's a pretty different game from Frogsong, but I think it had a similar heart and soul, with a similar focus on characters and story. If you enjoyed Frogsong... I think you're gonna love Stomp and the Sword of Miracles!
Other fixes
- Fixed some credits names
- Made a change to video cutscenes that should make them more likely to render properly on Steam Deck and Linux
Thanks for reading, and thank you all for the love you've shown Frogsong since launch! Hope 2025 treats you well.
Happy Holidays,
