Here's some slick moves you can work your way up to in BIG HOPS' sewer level. Goo balls + Tongue swinging + Belly slides make for a great time. #nintendoswitch #indiegames #ps5

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.

I'm serious, read it all please

Desert Plains is our first wide open world. There's a lot to see that you'll probably miss on your first time through. Don't miss the insane tongue swing flex shot ⚠️

This one's for the arachnophobes. Trust me, it'll make sense at the end.

This Rig Outpost has a ton of verticality. It's dizzying at the top but also fun to look down over the level and spot anything you might have missed.

I'm pretty sure I could do this in real life. Minus taking that explosion to the face, I couldn't do that.

The Desert Canyon has a lot of firsts: using Cactus Fruit to place Tightropes, meeting Beefer (not shown), Lockpicking with your Tongue.

Photo du numéro 116 de JV Culture jeu vidéo, thématique "animaux et jeux vidéo" (la couverture présente des animaux en dégradés de gris avec des pointes d'orange), sur un fond végétal. La lumière du soleil traverse deux suncatchers hors champ, ce qui créé une auréole arc-en-ciel autour du magazine.

Capture d'écran de la première double page d'un article de six pages intitulé "Ribbit hole - la grenouille est-elle devenue la chouchoute des indés" publiés en page 44 du numéro 116 de JV Culture jeu vidéo. Sur la moitié haute, on voit des captures d'écrans de Mudborne et Time on Frog Island. Chapo : "2026 sera-t-elle l’année de la grenouille ? En tout cas, joueurs et développeurs du monde entier semblent de plus en plus obsédés par des petites bêtes qui pullulent sur tous les continents et dans toutes les cultures. Nous avons demandé à une quinzaine de développeurs pourquoi, la grenouille, ils y crôa plus que jamais."

Graphique généré par votre serviteur pour mesurer l'augmentation du nombre de jeux publiés sur Itch avec les tags "chien" et "grenouille" entre 2014 et 2025. Là où l'augmentation des jeux de chien est constante, on constate une augmentation bien plus forte des jeux de grenouilles à partir de 2020.

Vous trouvez qu’il y a de plus en plus de grenouilles dans le jeu vidéo ? C’est le cas.

Pour @jvlemag.com #116, j'ai plongé dans le 𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘣𝘪𝘵 hole des jeux de grenouilles. Je suis allé à la rencontre d'une quinzaine de devs pour savoir pourquoi et comment cet animal est devenu cool.

Hops gets kidnapped at least 3 times and this time you're dropped into Rebel Cove. If you can make it to the top, an angry divorced dad will teach you how to swim.

I love the open feel of our Rig Outpost levels. There's a big concentration of veggies and a whole underwater section you might miss on your first playthrough.
