On a whim, I did a search, and no one here has talked about the glories of Frog Fractions yet.

(For people who do play, my one request is that you spoiler your comments. It's better that way.)

Oh god. This is ridiculous (and hilarious). I was about to go to bed too. I'm stuck in the text interface spaceship. I don't know what to do with the goop room

Edit: Nevermind. I beat it. That was a great waste of a couple hours sleep. I'm sure there are secrets that I missed

I watched a whole bunch of her videos yesterday for the first time  and became a huge fan. What a weird coincidence!

That's not a coincidence, it's cause and effect.

I loved it. It renewed my unending obsession with fractions.

I finished the game a while ago, but made the mistake of leaving the Palace or whatever before exploring it, at the end, and couldn't muster the will to get there again. Was there anything interesting to do there?

Oh god, the punching strategy.  I just about died.

As far as I know, no. You can't go off on either sides or go up, so down is the only way through.

Playing D&D for the first time tomorrow. Gonna be a druid, about to choose a race. Any suggestions for me?

First time doing any tabletop RPG or D&D in general?

I have my fair share of D&D, but I think I'll use 13th Age as a way to introduce people. It has some crunchy rules too, but it encourages players to be pretty creative in the character. Not to say you can't be creative in D&D, but some GMs can't think outside the box, so it can be a pretty uninspiring time. I guess that's true for any game, though.

I'm....um, missing something?

I saw fractions, but I did not see an indication of what to do with them. Do I only target certain bugs? And once I get the electro tongue, it's pretty easy to get a bunch of bugs, which presumably means bugs that you wouldn't want, though that did not seem to be an issue with me since I didn't even know which bugs I did want.

And the gameplay I'm seeing in spoiler tags makes no sense to me. I never saw any of that.

Judging from the comments on that page, I feel like I'm being trolled.

[liopoil]

The game goes on a lot longer than that... keep playing. I'm stuck on the text adventure. Where do I get perfume?

Any RPG! I just finished playing, it was great! And in case anyone wants to put on their robe and wizard hat, I'm a level 2 druid.

Welcome to your new circle of geekery. I know you're already a geek; nobody hangs out here without geek points. Now you have a new geek badge.

Check out different games. They have all sorts of different genres, so you can easily find one (or a bunch) that suits you. For example, I play a fair amount of Legend of the Five Rings, which is an RPG that is set in a world that is similar to Japan if it was on a large continent and had real magic.

And one of my favorite RPGs is Over the Edge, which is a surreal game taking place on a mysterious island in the present day where conspiracies are real.

How much longer? I played through two different typing tests and had bought the first seven upgrades. The eighth upgrade requires 25k fruit, which seems a long ways away. I didn't pay much attention to how many waves of bugs I had to endure, but there were at least 10 waves with only the typing test as something different. Oh, and the bugs shot at me when I got the dragon, so that's a little different.

And I still don't see how it's teaching fractions.

You can move more than left and right. Also how is it not teaching fractions. Look at all these fractions everywhere.

Indeed, more than fractions, especially after you get the cybernetic brain upgrade.

Did you check out the machine?
Bacon smells good, doesn't it?
I think it would make a good perfume.
If only you could take the goop.
If only you had a way to carry the goop.

A thing that people may have missed -- Buy the uninstall upgrade for the targeting system. Reinstall it. Uninstall it again. And so on...

I played the fraction game a long time ago, but I am pretty sure I did everything I could.

First time I played, those upgrades were leaking left and right over the original interface before I realized that I wasn't going to unlock the warp drive that way. It was funny though. Also, I used the dragon the right way completely by accident, trying to avoid the bullets. Looking back, I think it's genius that the shooting phase starts with the dragon (although you can pull the trick I am talking about with the turtle too).

Oops, I meant @liopoil.  Golem and Chapel have very similar colour schemes.

Playing for a couple minutes, then reading through the spoilers, it appears the Fraction Frogs game is another Mao-style game.

You know, it's really not. And you really shouldn't have read spoilers, the game is a beautiful artwork.
But seriously, every step of the way the game either tells you what to do, or it is impossible to fail. The first bit, for example, the game tells you that it is an option, and also hints are given: I think (might just be my imagination) that the typing levels purposefully give clue words, and if you run through the auto-target upgrades enough times you get a hint, sort of.
That is not like mao. Mao is not telling you what you can do, and then shouting at you when you don't follow them. Frog Fractions is telling you what to do, and then congratulating you when you truly follow the instructions.

Frog Fractions is also a beautiful surreal experience that I wish I could experience again.

It was fun and hilarious, and I suppose it is surreal, but I don't think I'd call it beautiful.  I mean, consider the theme of the mini-game in the last stage.  Not exactly my idea of beauty.

I was planning to introduce my eleven year old nephew to the game, but then chose not to when I got to that last mini-game.

I've played through to the text adventure, and gotten thoroughly bored now I'm there. It's an interesting idea, but at this point my desire to do something more fun is outweighing my desire to solve the puzzle with the can and spigot.

It's pretty much just what it looks like.  Put the can on the spigot and pull the lever.

Yeah, figured it out now. I tried to put the goop in the cup (even before I read this) but there wasn't enough floating around. It didn't occur to me to put it under the spigot...

I haven't touched the game since earlier today but... what lever? I don't recall ever finding one.
