CtrlFrogZ

Software

• Pico-8
• Visual Studio Code

Systems

• Pixel art
• Movement mechanics
• Procedural maps

What:

Ctrl-FrogZ is a Pico-8 game about deliberate movement, stealth, and frog-like bursts of action through small reactive spaces.

Why:

The project explores how much weight, timing, and readable stealth behavior can be built inside a tightly constrained system.

How:

Movement is intentional and commitment-based, with no air control or easy canceling once a leap begins. The map generates differently each run, terrain affects visibility, and progression expands the playable space as flies are collected.
