TouchArcade – “… Frogatto is totally worth checking out. I’ve been completely captivated by both the art of the game, and the game world itself; so much so that while playing through the other games that have been released tonight to write about I kept wanting to go back to Frogatto & Friends. …”

Gekikara Review [91%] – 「SFC黄金時代を思わせる、非常に書き込まれたドット絵はまさに圧巻。」…「音楽は、レトロながらも新しさを打ち出していっている。とてもフリーゲームだとはとても思えないレベル。」…「操作性の良さはフリーゲームとしてトップクラス。」

Rough translation: “The pixel art reminds one of the SNES golden age, and is a highlight…The music is retro yet brings newness. A level of quality that’s unthinkable for a free game…The controls are top class for a free game.”

SlideToPlay [3/4] – “… Frogatto is a wholly enjoyable retro platformer. It has plenty of level variety and gameplay elements, plus awesome character upgrades and unlockable power-ups. …”

The game has a phenomenal plot, cute character, great storyline, and most of all stunning artwork. It is without doubt one of the best platformers on the app store.”
