Pocket Frogs - FREE - Nimblebit (Universal) (v1.1.1)

[Cricketdancer]

Just a question, is it possible to find level 9 & above breeds in the pond to breed with, or do they only come in the little red present boxes? So far I haven't found a single frog above rarity 8 in the actual pond, only through the present boxes, so I'm starting to wonder if it's still necessary to reserve a nursery spot in case I run across something in the pond.

[Osujxu]

whats the difference between red and gold presents?

I've come across many rarity 9+ frogs in the pond.

[micpringle]

Eh, it was a thought to swing the tables a little.

And no it doesn't happen in the real world (then again how do WE know? maybe my children's stellar personalities come from -- never mind) but does everything that happens in a game happen in the real world? Key word = game.

I understand what you're saying but I just think that changing the mechanics of the game so that emotion has a direct effect on breeding outcome is just a little too far fetched for what is a fairly realistic game (bar the miracle grow potions of course, but they are only in the game as a way for the devs to capitalise on what is essentially a free product)

I've come across many rarity 9+ frogs in the pond.

After I found my first one in a pink package I have been coming across them in the pond quite regularly. I am not sure if it was meant to be that way or if I just happened to get my first one in that manner but both endangered I am allowed to get (being a level 9) I can now get in the pond breeding as well as in a package.

So the more succinct answer - yes you can find them in the pond.

[pgboy]

Well let me explain

This game isn't too difficult at all. It is just nobody helps me and the game to me is pointless and quite boring all u do is

Pond breed buy trade,Pond breed buy trade

over and over again basically there is very little point in the game and I was bored after 5 minutes of playing...

So that is why I will answer any questions you guys have

[Haikucaracha]

I'm new to this forum, so apologies if this has been discussed before. But is there any love for frog genders? Hermaphroditic frogs are convenient, but I imagine the challenge of requiring male/female couplings would add a more realistic challenge in breeding frogs. Maybe as an optional difficulty? Throw in some Jurassic Park-style female-male conversions if you're going to add mutations to the game?

One other suggestion to make the game more challenging: The happiness percentage = the likelihood that a mating will actually happen. That is, you can attempt to breed a sad frog to an otherwise happy one, and pay the fee for the breeding. But if the frog isn't happy enough, no egg is generated. It would make the happiness factor far more important.

You can describe pretty much any game like that. For instance, Halo (or pretty much every first person action game), all you do is shoot stuff, with a few little gimmicks thrown in there. The goal in this game is to breed specific types of frogs. If that's not something you'd like, then this this isn't your type of game; and although nobody helping you with it could be a reason to dislike the community playing the game, I don't think it is a reason do dislike the game itself.

We've got over 14,000 frogs to collect... if there's a chance breeding can fail I'm gonna be seen stalking around outside eeen's house brandishing a knife.

I has question: I just reached level 9 and unlocked 2 legendary frogs but how am I suppose to get them? I can't buy them and I know I won't find any in the pond

[MidianGTX]

There aren't any legendary frogs at level 9. If you're asking how to find the new frogs you unlocked when you level up, they're in the pond.

[New England Gamer]

I has question: I just reached level 9 and unlocked 2 legendary frogs but how am I suppose to get them? I can't buy them and I know I won't find any in the pond
I actually DID find them in the pond. I found my first one in a pink box and then when I found that one there were others around to breed with. Oh but wait - mine were endangered at level 9 - is that what you mean? But either way they are random in the pond so no worries, you will find them with perseverance!

You can find them either in the pond or as gifts.

Yes, I believe you are correct. Switching the order of the two still yielded 7, but I was able to get the WPP that I wanted by trying a different set of breeds. I did not test if it was just a display bug, or if I physically could not breed that one. I mean, even if I breed 32 frogs and I don't get it, I know for sure that it doesn't work. I can only say with high confidence that it doesn't work.

Game Play suggestion:

When leaving the pond, please take me back to the frog focus menu instead of the habitat. When I'm in the pond, I'm doing something specifically with that frog (ie. maturing it to sell it :p) so if I go back to the habitat with others that are exactly the same, it's frustrating finding the one you just matured.

[Pocketmau30]

Hello fellow frog breeders. I'm new to the site and slowing leveling up on Pocket Frogs (currently level 9). and I would like to request a Chroma frog. I've been sending my frogs to the pond for ever and I can't seem to get one. Is it even possible at level 9?

Here's a bug I found. When I breed a White Picea Anura and Glass Chroma Partiri, it only shows 7 frogs rather than 8.

Not a bug, it's just one of the combination is a glass or chroma mutation, but since the parents are already have the glass chroma traits, 2 offspring possibilities are identical so 1 of them is not shown.

Glad to see you are giving the game a chance. But since you are new to playing maybe you don't know about this thread:

http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?threadid=67189

It is the thread dedicated to asking and trading frogs. That way this is all game play and that is all for trading etc. Try asking your question there.

[swampthing]

Woven fabric, The Frog Prince and Blue Tile are three of my favourite backgrounds.

The game really changes once you've hit epic/legendary level status. Much more of a waiting game particularly if you're loath to use stamps and potions.

[New England Gamer]

I dunno if level 10 qualifies as such but I found that suddenly at this level I have my mailbox full of things ready in close to two days! And to use stamps they use a LOT! But the discoveries are definitely worth it!

I think I have discovered the source of Pond Lag, well it certainly is for me anyway.

Whenever I start an egg hatching I turn on the alert button so I know when it hatches. When growing one frog I got a short glitch, at 22 minutes until maturity it was saying it was fully grown and every time I ate a fly the message would pop up.

It was quite annoying so the next time I went in the pond with a frog I made sure alert was turned off, to my surprise the pond was completely lag free! So I left the pond and turned on alert, lag again. Turned it off and lag was gone once more.

I guess as the alert button is keeping track of when the frog will be grown and every time a fly is eaten it has to update, which causes the lag.

So the simple solution seems to be just turn off alert while in the pond. I wish I noticed this sooner. :)

[TiltMyTouch]

...But I've never turned on alerts :(

[Amalah]

...But I've never turned on alerts :(

Oh. :(

Do you have a multi tasking device? Because I don't.
I know there are some crashes with multi tasking devices so maybe there is more than one contributor for you.

[TiltMyTouch]

I have a 2nd gen. And before you get any impressions, this 2nd gen has withstood the effects of time. It is NOT slow, and rarely lags/crashes.

Have some lag, have a 2g iPod Touch, and have never turned on an alert.

What I find though, is if I am quick enough during the lag, I have taken some nice screen shots of frogs in mid flight.

Look for the positives my friend!

Actually, I did start to find rarity 9 frogs when I hit 10. I guess a better idea is, can you get new frogs from the pond for endangered and up or do we need to find them in the red presents first? I haven't found any new frogs outside of packages since level 8. I've been getting newly unlocked breeds from packages exclusively. Only after I've passed that level do I see them in the pond.

Just for your info. We get absolutely no pond lag playing on the iPad. Pretty noticeable lag on the iPhone 4 and the new Touch.

[ale666]

there are 2 or 3 new frogs on each level, from lvl 1 to lvl 17
then I didn't see any new ones, there are some rare ones, that i didn't seen it yet, and some the people talk about, and I don't know if exist or not...
like tribus ( or something like that) i didn't see a single one yet... today i found a "Floriscus", its in my nursery and need 2 more days to grow up....

so, if you are in lvl 10, you have a lot of new frogs to discover

That's what I was saying. I would like the number badge to go away. Just like NEG pointed out, there could only be one request at a time, so what's the deal with the 1 on the frog request icon? It spoils the look of the menu page.

@NimbleBit

Since updating to 1.0.4 I'm experiencing a lot of new lag ...

All these appear after booting up the app from fresh, rather than switching back to it from the multi-tasking dashboard ...


On the very first breed, after confirming the breed, the dialog box stays on screen and the button highlighted for at least a few seconds
When landing on the very first prize in the pond, the game freezes and it takes a few seconds for the dialog box to appear

And this happens everytime, regardless ...


When exiting the pond, the game freezes for a few seconds before returning to the habitat. Last time I counted it was around 6 seconds.

But on a positive note, I'm not experiencing any of the lag in the pond I experienced before - just all this new lag :o

I'm running an iPhone4 on the latest software update.

These are now getting worse!

Although they are still happening intermittently, they are definitely happening more often and seemingly more frequent :(

They also don't seem to be restricted to only happening when booting the app from fresh either as I first thought, as I am now noticing it happening when I've left the app running and switch back to it.

I've had a little lag when hopping on a present, but nothing extreme. To be honest I prefer it, the amount of times I've lost a gift or picked up something that I didn't want by tapping too fast was astounding, this slight delay stops that from happening.

Or ... that it will only take into account the frogs you added to your catalog prior to the implementation of the Froggydex :D

[HerdingCats]

Just installed the update, and I am glad to see the rewards increased for the frog requests. Since I completed the achievements days ago, I was just waiting until the next update when we will get more achievements (and more frog patterns too, I hope!) However, with the increased rewards for requests, the life of the game has been extended for me.

Thanks NimbleBit!!

Although they are still happening intermittently, they are definitely happening more often and seemingly more frequent :(

They also don't seem to be restricted to only happening when booting the app from fresh either as I first thought, as I am now noticing it happening when I've left the app running and switch back to it.

And another ...

Whilst out in the pond, again intermittently, when landing on a prize I hear the sound but the game freezes and the frog remains in it's stretched state for a few seconds before the dialog box appears ?

Please note that I didn't experience any of these lags/issues I've commented about in the three thread posts before updating to 1.0.4 - these have definitley all been introduced in the latest update.

To save you trawling back through the thread to find the other issues I've posted about, you can find them here (http://forums.toucharcade.com/showpost.php?p=1340833&postcount=1846) and here (http://forums.toucharcade.com/showpost.php?p=1340957&postcount=1847)

[EDIT]

Just had the worst case of this particular issue so far ... landed on a prize, the game froze (although the sound still plays okay and the ambient noise continues) and the frog remained in the stretched state for at least 15 seconds if not more before the dialog box popped up. If it wasn't for the sound still playing I'd have swore the app had crashed.

Please note that I have no other apps running in the background whilst experiencing these issues, the only app loaded is PocketFrogs.

Pausing the pond before an alert appears is intentional, but it shouldn't take that long for the alert to appear. Try playing offline and see if there is a difference.

Right, so I switched the iPhone to Airplane mode (couldn't think of another way to force the game into offline play) and the lag was gone. But not just from the prizes, but also from exiting the pond and the breeding screen?

Switched it back on and rebooted the app, and it's back with a vengance!! :mad:

Are you guessing it's something to do with updating both social platforms whenever an event that their is a leaderboard for takes place (such as find prizes and eating flies etc)? If so, why wasn't this issue in previous versions?

That is good to know, hopefully I can hunt it down down. Lots of things in the game use the network. It could very likely be the way I'm updating leaderboards in Game Center. That actually fits pretty well now that I think about it.

[With1eyeopen]

Somehow in the process of experiencing lag at the pond while one level 8, I picked up a "Missing Frog" that says it says is a level 10 endangered species but I am unable to place it. In the mailbox when I try to place it, it says: "This frog is from a newer version of Pocket Frogs. Please update to the latest version." I just updated to 1.0.4 this morning.

Any thoughts or did I just win some secret lottery?

If you want to know for sure, I'd be happy to test out an update once you've applied any fix prior to you releasing it into the wild. If you want me to, just let me know and I'll email you my devices UUID.

That way we don't have to wait until Apple approve any update you release before you know whether or not the issue has been fixed, especially if you're not experiencing it at the same level that I am.

So I thought that I knew the difference between the yellow and the pink presents on the pond - pink being a rarer gift than a yellow. But today on one pond visit I got an Anura in one yellow box and a Ligo in another! Past levels new frogs were in pink boxes and every other experience proved my theory (to myself) until now. So what IS the difference between boxes?

rest removed: never mind!

Crap. Yeah this is a bug. Do you know if it came from a gift in the pond? Or did it appear without notifying you?

[Dazarath]

Has anyone figured out what the most expensive color/design color combination is? It's easy to tell which pattern of the ones available is the most expensive, but breeding the right colors helps squeeze out a few more coins.

[Ghosthack]

AWESOME game Nimblebits.

Well done, well balanced, well executed.

Probably the biggest gripe i have right now is being unable to preview habitat backgrounds before placing them because if i dont like it or prefer my previous one i'm stuck until it shows up in the store again...

Maybe also a way to cancel items in the Mailbox that haven't arrived yet?

What would be REALLY useful is being able to drag and drop frogs from the main habitats view screen instead of having to switch back and forth.

Also i saw a few people unhappy with the whole ipad AND iphone gameplay. Would it work if you gave players a option to signout then sign back in again? I started playing on my ipad then got bummed when i found out my iphone didn't sync after 3 hours of work. But i think what i did was reinstall from scratch, then when i logged in it pulled my data from plus+

I think you nailed everything else!

Any future manual sorting of the catalog coming?

I do have one neighbour where i get the error that there was a problem but it doesn't tell me what the error is.

(Big SkyBurger fan too) Thanks! :D

[ale666]

Whats your most expensive frog?

Patterns magus, veru , $10.000 +-
Calvaria, arbor, $ 9000 +-

[Squeaker]

I'm experiencing very bad lag in the pond after the update. Now whenever I come across a gift, the frog will freeze mid-air above the box for a wink before landing on the gift and the dialogue box appears. There's a lag too when it's exiting the pond. I didn't get these lags before the update, so now it's a little tiresome with all the instant freezings. I'm using an iPhone 4 btw.

This is caused by the way I'm updating the Game Center leaderboards and will be fixed in the next update. Until then you can get rid of the lag by playing with Airplane mode on, or re-installing PF and not enabling Game Center. Sorry!

[dsigns]

So I noticed the game center achievements add up to 425 points. A kind of random number. Am I right to assume that more achievements will be coming?

I think an achievement for getting different percents of your froggydex full (10%, 25%, etc) would be good along with a number of flies eaten, presents or lifetime frogs.

I agree, it would be cool to have an option to preview the habitats. I bought a woven habitat that looked cool as an icon but the actual habitat was horrible!
... and speaking of habitats, can anyone suggest a cool habitat for glass chromas? I've been experimenting with a few, but wouldn't mind some suggestions.
Oh and does anyone need endangered frogs? I keep getting dozens of endangered frogs... (and still no legendary ones...) :( So if you have one to spare send: pocketmau80

I've asked about this a few times with no answer... I'd like to know how much each color and pattern color adds to the frog's value. Like a chart or something that says specifically how much each color is worth.

I know there is a chart on the Pocket Frogs Wiki that shows each color, but it doesn't say how much they are worth...

Each color isn't specifically worth anything, the different combinations are worth certain amounts.

If a Red Anura is worth more than a Blue Anura that doesn't mean a Red Marmorea will be worth more than a Blue Marmorea.

AWESOME game Nimblebits.

I'd like this too but it's no biggie - what if a setup similar to how you move program icons on the iphone - they wiggle and then you drag and drop - heck sell too?

Honestly my biggest issue with PF is if I am going to play this like a Type ONE personality I have to check every single frog I come across for value in breeding the rare/obscure stuff beyond just the cost when one of my frogs humps another frog in the Pond. This gets tedious and too much like work. :-) On the other hand, I dunno if it is too wussy if PF flags every frog humped that it can contribute genetically toward a frog on my desired list.

This is my first post on TA :-) I've just gotten to level 12 and have been doing the frog mill thing vs going after achievements. I did set up a spreadsheet to track the awards and might also track my color & pattern combos. I want to breed my own chroma and glass frogs.

I do have a couple of questions:

1. Do more expensive habitats increase the happiness level? Or is it just a style thing?

2. Do frogs get old and then die or otherwise go kerfluee? I am not talking about 0 happiness. I assume that small vertical bar in the Maturity indicator is the frog's age?

Thanks everyone - PF is my most favorite game!

The habitats do not affect frog happiness, they are just there to look pretty. Also, frogs will never die!

Thank you EEEN. I'm thinking that after a few more levels, I'm going to just collect frogs that I think are pretty vs how much they are worth. Great sense of humor in those achievements - I particularly enjoyed the watermelon.

I am looking forward to the chromas and wonder if you could have a fractal pattern frog that could still run for us OS3 folks with older CPU iPhones. I guess on a lower res iPhone, one could doubletap zoom to fully enjoy the view.

[Osujxu]

wait so are there like super rare frogs or legendary frogs???? if so can send me any kind??? pretty please??

So, has anyone worked out a good (longterm, obviously!!!) breeding strategy for trying to complete the Froggydex. I figure that I shouldn't just go through each breed in ascending rarity order (anura, crustalli, etc) getting all 368 base and pattern colour combinations since that would mean at some point trying to get all 368 combos for, say, an insero, each of which would take 9 hours to hatch and 1 day and 21 hours to mature. So, I'm thinking I should mix it up somehow so, for example, I work through a given colour combo for all breeds, then another colour combo, etc - but given that the Froggydex is only accessible via breed that won't give the same sense of achievement since you won't be able to easily see that you have ALL the possible Emerald Viola frogs. Any thoughts?

I'm giving away legendary frogs every day
Most likely are Floresco y Calvaria, so if you are in my list you can receive one
I pick up randomly from my list and send the frog
You don't need to sendme anything

Every day 25 frogs and 20 gold or silver coins
If you don't need it just cash it on arrive

If someone has more frogs than me please send me one, (legendary or season ones)

If you need a frog put in your plus message what you need

Thank you

2. Behold Beauty - 8 Black Chroma Ocularis
3. Burning Men - 4 Black Aurum Lucus + 4 Black Carota Lucus
4. Día de los Muertos - 1 each Tangelo, Red, Pink, Emerald, Golden Azure Albeo Calvaria

I found the same problem with the Gold Rush achievement after updating to 1.04, all 3 needed were in a habitat together but the Cesti hadn't matured yet. When it did mature the achievement wasn't awarded, i checked, double checked, went the the pond with a couple of them and back to the habitat and nothing. I thought maybe it had something to do with the fact I had other frogs in the habitat with the 3 of them and maybe the achievement needed the 3 on their own, but I didn't have room to sell any of the others in the habitat.

What solved it was moving one of the 3 out into another habitat and then back in with the other 2, at which point I was successfully awarded the achievement, so give that a go :cool:.

Loading other tanks? You mean moving frogs around? Or the achievement frogs around?

I am rebooting now, I even rebred the frogs and the achievement STILL didn't register. We will see after reboot I guess.

Edit: after reboot nothing in either habitat that now contain the frogs. I made space in my catalog, cataloged them, and will just move on I suppose.

Can I add too that all along I have been reading about lag and stuttering and crashing and stuff of that nature and though I have experienced it I just accept it. It doesn't take more than a millisecond longer of your time when stuff like that happens to move on. But something of this nature is a game changer. I will be wary of my next achievements from here on out wondering if they will register or not. Lag, schmag, the game still plays; but this is one of those cases where something you worked hard on doesn't give you the desired result. And eenmachine you said you can't reproduce it and it is a known issue. That isn't comforting. Sorry.

The only thing that sucks about the higher level frogs is they take forever to be delivered. I"m running low on stamps and potions so my mailbox is always filling up.
A suggestion would be for habitats to be instantly delivered so they dont take up space on the mailbox.... or at least have a separate section for them.
Have the devs thought of having a frog design contest? I have a few ideas for that.

+1 for this one. I prefer the simpler designs and as I've been leveling up the designs have been getting weirder. A step back more towards designs like this would be great.

I agree that the simpler ones have a certain charm that's lost when the design gets too crazy, but that one in particular... a little too synthetic for me. It doesn't look like something you'd see on a real frog, perhaps if the lines weren't so perfect it could work.

[doobiedoo73]

Plus how can you tell what the main colour and the pattern colour are? They are both equal!

Half the fun could be guessing. :p

[sweetdiss]

- Some kind of pattern editor (maybe on the Nimblebit site if not directly in the app) for creating new designs to share with friends. There could be a new pattern called "Vacuus" (latin for empty) which you can then add your design to. Player designs should be just for fun and not affect normal gameplay (for example, your patterns won't be in the froggydex or anything...) Just spitballin' here!

I suggested making our own patterns a week ago! Please consider it Nimblebits!

Another idea I just had is for creating our own achievements in-game to share with other players! For instance: breed whatever type of frog you want, go into the Awards Creator screen and select that frog, set the quantity at 8 or whatever, and add a name like "Fender Bender" or "Rotten Banana" or whatever the frog looks like, and then have the game upload it to a global list that can be accessed in-game where people can vote on which achievement they think is cleverest or whatever...

[ale666]

there are things hard to accomplish, if you create your custom frogs, you need to send the full file to the other friend, and that need to be installed in the app folder, is not hard, but not easy to implement, now, when you send something, you just send data, a reference, a number, like f-29 and the game, knows, what frog or item is that... so its easy, you are sending only 3 or 4 kb , if you need to send a full design you send something like 30 kb, but need to be done 2 times, one with the basic frog, ( original design has 20 kb +-)and the other, like the frog is jumping...

that makes 100 kb, if you think a lot of people sending that data, you need a big, big server to handle it...

if is possible, yes, but hard, and maybe also expensive... (for a free app)
I'm gonna attach the skin for common frogs, due dev's don't like me posting
exotic frogs here....

Yea I'm be curious to see how those skins work.

[hijack419]

I am having the exact same problem with the Citrus Mixtus award. It happened today and I tried all the things suggested here to no avail. I have gotten other awards today just fine so it might just be the Citrus one? Hopefully they fix it soon. Just wanted to let you know you're not the only one!

Make sure you have a Yellow and not a Golden. If that fails, make sure you are backed up (restart game and wait for plus login) & re-install.

[New England Gamer]

My problems were finally solved with a reinstall. @hijack419 if you got other awards today maybe you do have the wrong color as eeen suggests. If you do have all the right colors, the only thing that worked for me was reinstalling the app. When you reinstall and log in to plus just be sure to choose the restore option and it will bring everything back to what it is supposed to be.

Nimblebit -

I have an idea for a future update which could solve several problems and make many players with opposing opinions happy.

Some people think the nursery should be bigger, or that you should be able to buy another one, and more habitats, with an in-app purchase. Other people (like myself) feel that this might take some of the challenge out of the game.

I suggest that the current maximum of one nursery and 7 habitats should only be the first page of habitats, with the option of buying (for coins) a second page of one nursery + a possible 7 more habitats. The amount a 2nd page would cost should be rather high, or require a certain level late in the game (like level 13 or whatever) to ensure that you're far enough into the game so it doesn't become too easy. The problem with having another nursery and more habitats as an in-app purchase is that anyone can buy it right from the beginning, making it too easy.

This also solves the problem of the game slowing waaay down once you get into the later levels. Right now in my game it sometimes takes several days just for one achievement to be completed, and most of that time I have nothing to do other than wait the entire time. Having the option of buying another page (for 100,000 - 200,000 coins) of one nursery and up to 7 more habitats at this late level in the game would keep me coming back to it much more often, as I could have many more projects developing in my 2 nurseries than if I just had one. Also, I feel that this WOULDN'T make the game easier, as I believe it would add more challenge since you'd have to juggle two pages of nurseries and habitats instead of just one.

Anyway, sorry that was rather long, but I hope at least a few people consider it and agree that it would be a good compromise and inject a nice boost into the gameplay once your level reaches the mid to late teens.

[Osujxu]

i think that there should be a breed 8 option when you breed two frogs. that way you don't have to actually breed two ffrogs 8 times. this would be for people who just want to get a specific frog and want to increase the odds of getting it.
also i would like a sell all frogs option in the habitat, specifically the nursery. this would be for when you just trying to make money by breeding and selling frogs. that way you don't have to actually sell all the 8 frogs and take a ton of time.

anyone else agree? nimblebit can we include this?

I agree with both of these features. It gets tedious doing this over and over.

[ale666]

both ideas are great...

hopefully they add more frogs to the game... I'm looking for the last 2 thats all...

I like the hunting for new species...

That would be awesome! Considering how many hours it takes the highest frogs to hatch I would love a second nursery. At least when they're hatched you can go play with them in the pond, but I hate all that waiting and doing nothing. I'd pay big for this with either coins or rl cash, whatever happens.

[Ghosthack]

Swiping left and right to switch between habitats would be real nice!

Totally agree with you. The bulk of the items I have in my mailbox are taking nearly 2 days to complete! As a result, I hate going into the pond because I know I will find a gift and not be able to accept it. So instead I just leave the game and come back after 24 hours. I wish the maximum any item in the mailbox would take is 24 hours. I do understand that slow deliveries would entice people to use their stamps and as a source of revenue for NB I guess this is probably the reason but I would like to see delivery times limited to a maximum of 24 hours. I want to keep playing the game but the long wait times added to a full mailbox therefore don;t make me want to hop around in the pond. I want NB to keep me playing!

Also in terms of requests, how many times must we keep breeding in order to get a successful result? I've bred 2 frogs about 4 times (8 eggs each session - 32 in total) and still not been able to create the combo to satisfy the request, even though these 2 frogs would directly create the breed in the request. As a result, I've just decided to ignore requests since it seems impossible. It would be nice if the game could sort of detect it and work in our favour - at least better odds.

i think that there should be a breed 8 option when you breed two frogs. that way you don't have to actually breed two ffrogs 8 times. this would be for people who just want to get a specific frog and want to increase the odds of getting it.
also i would like a sell all frogs option in the habitat, specifically the nursery. this would be for when you just trying to make money by breeding and selling frogs. that way you don't have to actually sell all the 8 frogs and take a ton of time.

Totally agree with you on this! A few shortcuts to speed up time would help very much.

GAME REQUESTS:

1. I previously requested that we be allowed to remove stuff from the mailbox that are still being delivered with a "CANCEL" button. This would make us lose what we have being delivered, however if NB prefer that they stay and we use stamps to speed them up and then either move them or delete them ourselves, I propose a compromise - how about using a few stamps to cancel any delivery? So like say something states 9 stamps for instant delivery, well how about also saying 3 stamps to cancel it?

2. Drag and drop frogs directly within the habitat screen.

3. When in the pond, remove the red X button in the bottom right corner because it gets in the way (yes sure, it prompts) but if you are chasing a dragonfly - it would have flown away by then. Instead I propose double tapping on the frog to request leaving the pond. Then the warning message can appear prompting if we would like to leave and then leave or stay. Currently double tapping (or even single tapping) the frog serves no purpose and would serve a better purpose than the red X in the corner. When arriving in the pond, a message could inform the user that to leave the pond they need to double tap the frog, since its not as obvious as the red X in the corner with regards to exiting.

[dbhjed]

More Habitats:
I don't think that is going to happen.


Extra habitats would be very very difficult to add the way I designed the game. Things would also probably start to lag even harder.

Here is what I do:
What i have is all the base and secondary colors in my catalog as Anura(they are cheap to order and take 30 mins or 1 stamp to deliver), then have all the patterns out in the habitats (since they cost a lot more and take a lot longer to deliver). When I need an achievement, I order the two Anuras (one for base color and one secondary), breed them to the right colors, then I take the pattern I need and breed until I get what I need. I found that this works greats. Space has never been an issue for me.

Frogs taking to long to mature:
If you want frogs faster use potions. If not well then time = money.

You can get potions from the pond, leveling up, or IAP.

If you want to hop around the pond you can find some (as you level up the you can get more potions in the red gifts). Leveling up nets you some. Or if you really don't have time fork up some green :). Thus the freemium idea.

No room in mailbox:
Stamps have the same freemium idea. We don't have to use the items anymore in the mailbox since the "X" was added, but you can also decline items before they get there in the first place. You can tap "No Thanks" for pond presents and "Sell" on frogs being sent to you.

Pond:
I also have never had an issue with the red X since Nimblebit put in the confirmation. There are plenty of flies in the pond and gifts stay on screen if you only jumped a lillypad or two. I would hate having a message pop up all the time. The "x" speaks for itself. If you have to explain something then it is probably too complicated.

Simple rules:
Keep it organized - Design you Catalog and habitats to keep time and cost low
Keep it simple - no need to explain
Freemium - Remember this is free to download but things cost
Time = Money - no need to explain
Think Ahead - You don't always have to accept things, higher levels mean longer wait times

In closing:
I think Nimblebit has balanced this game right. I've gotten all the achievements and never had an issue with space. If my habitats got full I traded, sold, or gave away some of the frogs I have sitting in them, I also have 5 habitats reserved for all the patterns. 3 is plenty for achievements.

Amen! I totally agree with everything you've said here :D

The only difference for me is that I kept the base and pattern colors in my habitats and stored the patterns in my catalog. Hindsight though would now suggest that your way is perhaps better.

[micpringle]

Are you really asking for this? I mean really?

One of the best features of the game is the fact that the breeds are totally random from the available options, just like in real life. Yet you want it to be changed in your favour just to make the game easier for you so you can complete more requests :eek:

[Digital Messiah]

I hear people say they try 32 times to make a specific frog and fail, BUT I can only assume they are not breeding to the full potential. You get the color pattern you need, then breed that with the pattern you want, but after that first batch you might want to breed the color pattern with a newly bred pattern frog if you just bred one with one color correct. I know the odds are most people know this, and the ones that didn't figure it out yet might not even understand my explanation, but if it helps someone cool.

Something for the devs to think about, I doubt I would ever buy stamps or potions but if you made habitats and nursery add ons I would pay for those hands down no delay.

[micpringle]

Here's how I breed a specific frog (and it's yet to fail) ...

Please note - I have all patterns in my catalog as Glass Albeo, all base colors and pattern colors in my habitats as Albeo Anuras and Glass Anuras repectively

I have a request pending for a Cocos Aurum Calyx, here's the steps ...

- Breed the Cocos Albeo Anura with the Glass Aurum Anura to get a Cocos Aurum Anura
- Breed the Cocos Albeo Anura with the Glass Albeo Calyx to get a Cocos Albeo Calyx
- Breed the Cocos Aurum Anura with the Cocos Albeo Calyx to finally produce the Cocos Aurum Calyx

There are tricks to also follow whilst using this method - you already know the value of the frog you have and the levels (since you are breeding Anura's with something else) will almost always be different. Using this information you can compare the eggs max value or level with those you already have to determine whether or not you have bred the correct frog before it even hatches, and sell all the other eggs.

As an example, in the final step above there are only four possible outcomes - Cocos Aurum Anura, Cocos Albeo Anura, Cocos Albeo Calyx and Cocos Aurum Calyx. We know Anuras are level 1 so can sell any eggs that are level one, and we know the max value of a Cocos Albeo Calyx as we already have one to compare it against so can also sell off those eggs with a matching max value. Therefore if you are then left with any eggs that are not level 1 and have a differing max value to that of the Cocos Albeo Calyx you know you have successfully bred a Cocos Aurum Calyx way before it's even hatched.

Please note - the above example applies to any step in the method outlined, not just the last one

Hope this helps.

About slow delivery and growth times, I have to agree that 2 days is too long. I have purchased 100 stamps and 100 potions (and I think this game is well worth the price), but hesitate to use 12 at a time.

So when my mailbox is full of goodies, I have to wait a day or so for the stamps required to drop :(

[flamyngo]

Okay, this game is greatness.

I was just wondering if anyone could point me to a good strategy for utilizing the 50 catalog spots.

I'm only just starting (level 4 username: flamyngo) but am already having a total blast!!

The first time it happened I logged into Plus+ on Dizzypad, then came back and my friends were back.

However the second time it happened the Dizzypad trick wouldn't work so I gave up and re-added some people. A while later I restarted my iPod because it was slow and logged back in, all my friends were back including the new people I had added. Since doing that I haven't had any trouble at all.

Could have just been a fluke, but you never know there might be something in it. Try those two things and see what happens.

Totally agree with this. Since I worked up to all available habitats I have been able to keep a nice storage between the catalog and the habitat. People asking for more habitats or more things are just frustrated with the time, when the time is actually the part that will make Nimblebit money. People are asking them to take away the need to make any purchases. That is not fair. So either get the stamps and potions or spend the time.

And to the others that want to pay for more habitat or nurseries its the same thing - a one time cost as opposed to several small incremental costs. Or would you be willing to spend (what is the highest stamp or potion pack worth? 29.99?) MORE than 30 dollars to make it worth Nimblebits while (considering all the stamps and potion sales they would lose) for a new habitat? No. Then everyone will complain its too expensive.

Canceling or enlarging the mailbox? Well I can see if you agree to everything you will get yourself in a bind. So be careful what you accept at this point in the game. If you have 3 Ligos maturing in there, do you NEED a fourth? Probably not! So don't accept it! And so on. I have had to decline plenty of gifts in the pond because my mailbox was full but somewhere along the line I found them again when I could accept them. It is not called a time management game for just some random reason!

The game was made with these carefully constructed parameters in order to have the player strategize, plan, and think about what they are going to do. Where is the fun in having the ability to store 128 frogs like some of you are saying? Fun does not equal ease of success. What everyone is asking is to change the nature of the game and that changes the original intention. I bet the beta testers were having the same space problems that you all are but they learned how to manage - or else there WOULD be a new habitat to expand to.

You talk to ten players and all of them are playing it differently - some are trading, some are breeding themselves, others are skipping those and breeding what they like, others like the habitat arrangement aspect. So its a game at this point that appeals to the masses because there is no RIGHT way to play. Asking for more of something tries to mold it into a game that is "right" for you.

As has been mentioned before, hop around the pond. At several points I hopped around the pond so much that I had upwards of 100 of each just by opening gifts. If you find them in the pond you will be more likely to use them perhaps.

You are either going to have to invest the time to find the potions and stamps or the money to buy potions and stamps. Either way, it is completely doable.

[Anselmo]

So, what do people think about having some sort of designation about whether or not the frog is poisonous? I know many little tree frogs have toxic skin, and this is usually indicated by their bright colors and complex patterns. What if certain color combinations yielded a poison frog? It could have "Poisonous" written in italics/purple somewhere on its description screen?

Just a thought. I don't know what we could do with it after we knew it was poisonous.. maybe keep it separate from other frogs? But, it thought it would be neat.

I know many little tree frogs have toxic skin, and this is usually indicated by their bright colors and complex patterns. What if certain color combinations yielded a poison frog? It could have "Poisonous" written in italics/purple somewhere on its description screen?

Just a thought. I don't know what we could do with it after we knew it was poisonous.. maybe keep it separate from other frogs? But, it thought it would be neat.
I know one person that would love this idea. Also his idea was to have sharp razor teeth or shoot darts or some such!

More Habitats:
I don't think that is going to happen.



Here is what I do:
What i have is all the base and secondary colors in my catalog as Anura(they are cheap to order and take 30 mins or 1 stamp to deliver), then have all the patterns out in the habitats (since they cost a lot more and take a lot longer to deliver). When I need an achievement, I order the two Anuras (one for base color and one secondary), breed them to the right colors, then I take the pattern I need and breed until I get what I need. I found that this works greats. Space has never been an issue for me.

Frogs taking to long to mature:
If you want frogs faster use potions. If not well then time = money.

You can get potions from the pond, leveling up, or IAP.

If you want to hop around the pond you can find some (as you level up the you can get more potions in the red gifts). Leveling up nets you some. Or if you really don't have time fork up some green :). Thus the freemium idea.

No room in mailbox:
Stamps have the same freemium idea. We don't have to use the items anymore in the mailbox since the "X" was added, but you can also decline items before they get there in the first place. You can tap "No Thanks" for pond presents and "Sell" on frogs being sent to you.

Pond:
I also have never had an issue with the red X since Nimblebit put in the confirmation. There are plenty of flies in the pond and gifts stay on screen if you only jumped a lillypad or two. I would hate having a message pop up all the time. The "x" speaks for itself. If you have to explain something then it is probably too complicated.

Simple rules:
Keep it organized - Design you Catalog and habitats to keep time and cost low
Keep it simple - no need to explain
Freemium - Remember this is free to download but things cost
Time = Money - no need to explain
Think Ahead - You don't always have to accept things, higher levels mean longer wait times

In closing:
I think Nimblebit has balanced this game right. I've gotten all the achievements and never had an issue with space. If my habitats got full I traded, sold, or gave away some of the frogs I have sitting in them, I also have 5 habitats reserved for all the patterns. 3 is plenty for achievements.

I don't have the time lately to respond to all this great feedback you guys are giving me but this post sums up my feelings to some of the complaints pretty well. Thanks dbhjed.

HELP

All my friends have disappeared from the Plus+ network :confused:

I seem to remember other people experiencing this issue had posted on this thread, but I can't find the relevant posts.

Are you one of those people?

Can you help me get my friends list back?

I've talked to ngmoco about this issue and they seem to think it is a bug on their end, and tell me they're looking into it.

[New England Gamer]

I think people are forgetting, or don't know, that you can mature your hatched frogs in the pond. I just had 4 hours remaining on a frog and I was able to go into the pond and eat enough flies to turn him into an adult. In the process I gained over 1,000 coins, about 15 potions and I think 6 or 8 stamps. That doesn't count the habitats and items for the habitats I found or the many frogs I didn't breed with.

All in all that took about 10 minutes. No potions necessary - and gained stuff in the process. Use the pond! It is there for a reason!

Spending too much time making all those fantastic frog mosaics :D

Frogsaics!

[ale666]

so nice your mosaic....
Now time for PC wallpapers, idevices wallpapers... and hoe about a Pocket Frog theme ?

if someone like the idea i can build one...

[ale666]

Here how it looks a custom one

so if your device is jailbroked, and you like to have your own custom frogs, let me know, and I do some for you, and teach you how to set it up ( really easy)

what i didn't change was the name

If the pattern graphic is all black you won't see a secondary color at all... Or is the pattern covering the primary base entirely?

[flamyngo]

I did... I just don't understand the terminology used. :)

[ale666]

you are right, the pattern need to be outlined, not solid...

my fault.. ill fix it, but, thats the idea anyway...

and its possible...

[Digital Messiah]

Why don't you just buy potions and stamps. That's the whole freemium idea.

I don't think its a good value, they would go so fast and accomplish very little for the money. THAT is the whole freemium idea, don't pay unless you want to.

[Digital Messiah]

Totally agree with this. Since I worked up to all available habitats I have been able to keep a nice storage between the catalog and the habitat. People asking for more habitats or more things are just frustrated with the time, when the time is actually the part that will make Nimblebit money. People are asking them to take away the need to make any purchases. That is not fair. So either get the stamps and potions or spend the time.

And to the others that want to pay for more habitat or nurseries its the same thing - a one time cost as opposed to several small incremental costs. Or would you be willing to spend (what is the highest stamp or potion pack worth? 29.99?) MORE than 30 dollars to make it worth Nimblebits while (considering all the stamps and potion sales they would lose) for a new habitat? No. Then everyone will complain its too expensive.

Canceling or enlarging the mailbox? Well I can see if you agree to everything you will get yourself in a bind. So be careful what you accept at this point in the game. If you have 3 Ligos maturing in there, do you NEED a fourth? Probably not! So don't accept it! And so on. I have had to decline plenty of gifts in the pond because my mailbox was full but somewhere along the line I found them again when I could accept them. It is not called a time management game for just some random reason!

The game was made with these carefully constructed parameters in order to have the player strategize, plan, and think about what they are going to do. Where is the fun in having the ability to store 128 frogs like some of you are saying? Fun does not equal ease of success. What everyone is asking is to change the nature of the game and that changes the original intention. I bet the beta testers were having the same space problems that you all are but they learned how to manage - or else there WOULD be a new habitat to expand to.

You talk to ten players and all of them are playing it differently - some are trading, some are breeding themselves, others are skipping those and breeding what they like, others like the habitat arrangement aspect. So its a game at this point that appeals to the masses because there is no RIGHT way to play. Asking for more of something tries to mold it into a game that is "right" for you.

Ok maybe you have wads of cash hanging out of your pockets, but 30 dollars for stamps and potions is totally crazy. I would pay 30 bucks for a good xbox360 game that would take months to beat NOT a casual iphone game. And that 30 bucks worth would be gone way to fast anyways here in the high lvls. I would be willing to bet you that more people agree with NOT spending 30 bucks to get more enjoyment out of this game. Now they can keep it how it is and get a few people spending money on it, OR they could start listening to people like me who are kindly informing them what they could do to get us to spend some cash on their game thus making them more profits.

So you want to purchase a new habitat or nursery for LESS than the most expensive potion or stamp pack? I laugh!

We gave you hints how to get around using the potions, where to find the potions, how to manage your space properly. Nimblebit pretty much outrightly said no more habitats. So I guess you will have to come up with a proper strategy to play the game the way it was designed.

[eeenmachine]

Personally playing smart is the whole point of the game for me and what makes it fun. I love having to manage resources and plan ahead. I don't think a game where you press a button and you're given anything you want without any work would be very rewarding!

Listen I play the game a lot every day, I enjoy it for what it it does. You people always act like requesting changes or things you would like is some sort of rude slap to the devs face but it is not. Please stop acting so offended because I believe something you don't. And if the devs really care they listen, if they don't no big deal.

No actually I have suggested lots of changes to lots of games but taken the scope of the game in mind. My suggestions don't try to change the game drastically but improve on some of the features in place already. You know like being able to rearrange your catalog, or switching habitats easily, etc.

But to address your current point just look at the post above your latest for the dev's own view on this. Many of us agree with them.

One added nursery or habitat = anything you want? Frogs taking so long now to hatch or deliver has greatly reduced how much I play per day. I have tons of games I play. Your die hard fans will stay playing no big deal. I however am not able to enjoy PF as much as before with the time increase on all those things, so I might just go play other games and forget PF altogether. Im trying to help you understand some of your customers. IF the game was just made as a measure of love remove your in game purchasing. Oh wait there's in game purchases which means you want to make some money. Listen or don't I don't care.

Here come the faithful fans to attack me for my opinion again Im sure.

What is wrong with you people. Asking for one more habitat or nursery does NOT = a drastic change to the game. Your ideas are good, and mine are not?

EDIT One more thing, my idea lets a lot of people enjoy the game more by buying a habitat or nursery. If you like the game as is you dont buy it and the game is exactly the same. WTF

[Bonemouse]

^This.

Also, the only reason I'd want more habitats is because I enjoy decorating them and while I haven't "finished" all of them yet, I could see it being a problem once they are.

What I'd love to see (which is something that specifically caters to my own needs) is a way to catalog habitats. Basically, package the entire habitat (background and decorations) in a bundle. Then when you want to reorder, the cost would be the total Supply Shop cost for all the elements, and the delivery time would be the longest item's delivery time.

Alternatively, a froggydex for habitats and decorations that you can order from, as long as they've been in your game. Cost could be higher then the supply shop. Delivery time could be the same. I just hate having to wait days sometimes for the right decoration to appear in the supply shop.

Why don't you just manage your breeding so that your nursery isn't always full of high level frogs? And you don't have to accept every gift you get either therefore managing your mailbox.

As soon as I realised that higher level frogs took longer to hatch I started working the achievements in a way that managed this. Doing a low value and a high value one at the same time so that I always have different breeds of all levels in the nursery, rather than just eight high level.

Has worked out great for me so far and I'm never sat around just waiting for frogs to hatch with nothing to do.

There's a lot of hidden strategy to the game, and that's a huge part of the challenge.

[Pocketmau30]

I wish you could jump from one habitat to another by just swipping. .. it would be much easier, and more fun.

Because I play the game differently then you. And I don't tell you to play the game like I do now do I?

[ale666]

solved
here it is...

is not outlined..
I forget to remove the base frog... pattern can be any gray-scale....
or gradient
BUT solid

Again, if someone like to have a custom frog, let me know

[micpringle]

Firstly I wasn't telling you how to play the game, I was offering up a solution of how you could play the game if you so wished, one which has been successful for me.

Secondly drop the attitude! You are asking the devs to change the game to make it easier for YOU and accommodate the way YOU want to play. What I was trying to do is suggest a way where you could still enjoy the game but play within the strict confines of whats already set up!

This is the reason your ideas are being shot down! You want the game changed to accommodate how you want to play, rather than play the game the way it's been designed to play. And then give attitude to those who offer up a way you can still enjoy the game without changes, without even contemplating them.

[Pocketmau30]

I would love a glass frog with a cresent moon on it's back. Maybe have the moon go through it's phases somehow... kinda like a chroma, but instead of changing color, it goes from a cresent moon to a full moon.

thats my request :)

Your opinion on my opinion is not a shoot down. It's useless commentary. My ideas are for the devs not you. I am also not a moron and have found the best method of play style that fits for me without your commentary.

I do NOT want to make the game easier, I am talking about ideas that enable me to play more. I'm not the only one to suggest these changes and if you do the math on the amount of people in this forum to people playing the game, people who have admitted they want more space, (scribbles out numbers) carry the 1 (scribles more numbers) IF they offered this option to the game as an in game purchase they could make a lot of people happy and if you dont like it DONT BUY IT.

[New England Gamer]

Ok so pretty much from the first time you started posting in this thread - other than the first two - wow this is a great game - you have been making off the wall suggestions and then getting mad at people that say that isn't in the game's scope or they aren't good ideas, or whatever to disagree with you.

I would say more but micpringle beat me to it.

So I will end with, if all talking to you is going to result in is a fight, then it is silly to respond to you. Learn how to play the game the way it was meant to be played or don't, I don't care. Just stop starting a flame war with everyone who disagrees with your suggestions that are obviously not in the scope of Nimblebit's vision.

[micpringle]

Especially considering NimbleBit have already stated they have no intention of adding more habitats, nurseries or mailbox space.

I seem to be one of the few you guys all chime in on when I do say something so go wade through the forums and check that out. I will always fight when someone tries to insult me or knock down my ideas. Fighting for what you believe in is a good thing. You both will stop mouthing off to me because you realize youre in the wrong eventually. Better late then never. Offering ideas is something almost everyone is doing. I have not once replied to someones ideas with "learn how to play the game" you same people who say that have also offered ideas about changes. I will never sit down when anyone tries to oppress me for whatever reason.

[Digital Messiah]

Not really. I thought they said they technically maxed at this many, not that they didn't want more, but being able to pull in 50k in profits might make it worth figuring out.

Probably not, but using insults in acronym forms doesn't negate the insult or the slur or whatever the heck else you are trying to say. Just stop it yourself. Conduct yourself in a proper manner and then maybe people won't get all over you. I think by the fifth or sixth person who has said that to you you would get the message.

[Dimsum]

Are you really asking for this? I mean really?

One of the best features of the game is the fact that the breeds are totally random from the available options, just like in real life. Yet you want it to be changed in your favour just to make the game easier for you so you can complete more requests :eek:

Asking for better odds? Yes - I'm so sorry your Highness feels that asking for anything takes away from the game. When I have to breed 2 frogs 32 times and still not get a result for the request I would say the odds are not stacked so great. One frog contains the pattern and colour and the other frog contains the secondary colour so the odds of getting the request should be pretty easy. If after 32 eggs we still don't get the combo, then what is the point?

You also need to stop chastising people with your "YOU WANT THIS, YOU WANT THAT" attitude which I have seen you do all over this thread. We are all here to play the game and make suggestions. If NB wants to take them or leave them, that is up to them NOT YOU. Kindly stop chastising people every time they make a suggestion that YOU don't agree with. It doesn't matter how crazy someones suggestion is - everyone is entitled to say what they feel, without people like you jumping down their throats. If you don't agree with what I say, you can be diplomatic without acting like a jerk or better yet, just ignore replying to begin with.

Go back to pages 196 and 197 and read the posts from eeenmachine, the NimbleBit developer. He states that the current setup is how he wants the game and that the way the game forces you to manage you resources is intentional and part of the game.

Also, check out there website where they have a very honest blog post detailing they are not driven by profit or quick wins but rather about building a brand and producing quality content.

I curse my head off in person, I was just raised that way, the words really don't mean the same to me like they do others. I just am trying to be better at not cursing on this forum so we both know what I meant , and please don't let the acronym make you think I mean it any less. You dealt me rude cards.

Good to know on the first part. Though they have made a lot of changes already so it seems they are down for the action. What I assume is that they never thought it would get this big a reaction and they are probably ready to do whatever it takes to make some money while staying true to their ideas. Thats a line they will have to figure out for themselves how to draw. And saying you don't care about money means nothing. Most every company claims to be that guy. It's not wrong for them to decide to make some money now that it's a hit.

Learn some social skills then - or at least learn what is accepted in a public forum. You keep looking for a fight from everyone that disagrees with you - I made some suggestions here that were shot down by other members and I just moved on.

You seem to take it personally. No matter the answer by someone else, eeenmachine reads every post so they will see your suggestion. If they like it, they will implement it. But you stamping your feet after you make the suggestion won't get them to take you any more serious but you dropping it and not getting into a fight would.

In the end it is Nimblebit you are making the suggestion to, that much you do have correct. But conduct yourself like a 5 year old and you won't get taken seriously. Conduct yourself like an adult and perhaps you will gain some respect.

I have no attitude nor am I chastising people. A lot of the game is based on random events, yet because people like you don't quickly get what they're after or get stuck on the later levels they want the game changed to favour them. If they pandered to every request that made the game easier then there would be no challenge and therefore no reason to play the game.

I even posted a very helpful post of how you can reduce the odds to pretty much guarantee a successful breeding.

If you breed two frogs each with two traits then your odds will increase greatly.

When you are breeding those frogs that you mention you will invariably get another one with 2 traits. Change up your breeding to include those two. The (more - oops sorry) traits a frog has of what you need, the (less = sooo stupid me, sorry) chances it will take to get.

FROGS: Serious Business!

[marshmonkey]

The biggest hurdles right now to adding more habitats is that like eeen said, we didn't set up the game with that in mind, so currently there is a pretty hard limit on how many frogs each user can store in the game. It would not be impossible to add more habitats, but it would take a lot of work and might require some hacky type stuff to get it functional.

So that is one reason we are hesitant about it, the other reason is that there does not seem to be any rational limit to how many habitats people are going to want. If we add 8 more, people are going to fill those up and then want 8 more, then 8 more, etc. If it becomes the main way to store all your frogs people will always be getting frustrated that they don't have enough room and they will want to keep adding more and more habitats to store every single frog they come across.

I think those are our main concerns about adding habitats in a nutshell.

I would love a glass frog with a cresent moon on it's back. Maybe have the moon go through it's phases somehow... kinda like a chroma, but instead of changing color, it goes from a cresent moon to a full moon.

thats my request :)

it doesn't work really well, because its too small for details... here an example...

personally I don't like it...

FROGS: Serious Business!

Strangely enough. I really wanna know if you thought this game would be as popular as it is. For me it was a classic : download just to see wtf it was, then oh this is cool, ohh this is really fun, ok im hooked.

Here's how I breed a specific frog (and it's yet to fail) ...

Please note - I have all patterns in my catalog as Glass Albeo, all base colors and pattern colors in my habitats as Albeo Anuras and Glass Anuras repectively

I have a request pending for a Cocos Aurum Calyx, here's the steps ...

- Breed the Cocos Albeo Anura with the Glass Aurum Anura to get a Cocos Aurum Anura
- Breed the Cocos Albeo Anura with the Glass Albeo Calyx to get a Cocos Albeo Calyx
- Breed the Cocos Aurum Anura with the Cocos Albeo Calyx to finally produce the Cocos Aurum Calyx

There are tricks to also follow whilst using this method - you already know the value of the frog you have and the levels (since you are breeding Anura's with something else) will almost always be different. Using this information you can compare the eggs max value or level with those you already have to determine whether or not you have bred the correct frog before it even hatches, and sell all the other eggs.

As an example, in the final step above there are only four possible outcomes - Cocos Aurum Anura, Cocos Albeo Anura, Cocos Albeo Calyx and Cocos Aurum Calyx. We know Anuras are level 1 so can sell any eggs that are level one, and we know the max value of a Cocos Albeo Calyx as we already have one to compare it against so can also sell off those eggs with a matching max value. Therefore if you are then left with any eggs that are not level 1 and have a differing max value to that of the Cocos Albeo Calyx you know you have successfully bred a Cocos Aurum Calyx way before it's even hatched.

Please note - the above example applies to any step in the method outlined, not just the last one

Hope this helps.

Here it is again incase you missed it.

Once we gave it to the beta testers and they were still playing rabidly weeks later I knew we had something special. We spent a long time trying to balance and tweak the game around its current limitations which is another reason why we're hesitant to make any major changes.

Also swiping between habitats *might* be in 1.0.6, haven't decided yet. We're constantly thinking of new things to add to Pocket Frogs that wouldn't unbalance the game that already exists.

The biggest hurdles right now to adding more habitats is that like eeen said, we didn't set up the game with that in mind, so currently there is a pretty hard limit on how many frogs each user can store in the game. It would not be impossible to add more habitats, but it would take a lot of work and might require some hacky type stuff to get it functional.

So that is one reason we are hesitant about it, the other reason is that there does not seem to be any rational limit to how many habitats people are going to want.

It's funny that you say it that way. In the beginning of the game when I was working towards more habitats I kept thinking - when I get that next habitat everything will be FINE. Then I got the next habitat and it was full so quickly. So I was saying AGAIN, when I get that next habitat everything will be FINE. Well, you get the picture. It was never fine until I reached my limit and now I HAVE to make it fine. You work it out and you keep what you need and many people even have empty habitats to breed in at the current set up. I choose to keep some of my favorites in two of them but if push came to shove I could invariably get rid of them if need be.

But yeah, it would be a totally insatiable need that would not be fulfilled until you had habitats for what - 14,000+ frogs?

[marshmonkey]

I have the max amount of habitats but I usually keep 2 of them empty to facilitate breeding and needing to move frogs around.

One is my space for the current goal I am breeding for, and the other is my "happy habitat" where I put all the reject frogs to grow up and get happy to sell.

I think another issue with adding more habitats is does it stop there? Others on here want another nursery so do you add that? Others want more mailbox or catalog space so do you add those too?

I honestly believe the balance of the game is currently fantastic and pandering to all these requests will inevitably dilute the challenge of the game and as a direct result the desire to keep returning to it everyday.

Ok that makes a lot of sense. For me my reason for wanting more space is so I can have enough spots to have all color types and species on hand for breeding, and have enough room for breeding or personal favorite frogs. I think 2 more habitats would cover that. I just don't like mailing for frogs ever. I want to have all colors and patterns on hand so it's all just breeding. If I always mail out for the exact color mix, I miss out on dexing some frogs while breeding the color mix. Do I adjust to what I have now, of course it's my only option at this point. Perhaps it's easier to create a display habitat that could only be seen by going into that display mode so it doesnt slow the current set up and allows for essentially more habitat space. I know nothing about programming though so..
