Buddhist frog raising, why is the "retarded" game so popular in the circle of friends?

While Hotspot Fungus was still immersed in the world of "I jump, I jump, I jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump", my friends around me have already become "old mothers", worrying about "children".

Yes, we are talking about this "retarded" game that is comparable to stealing food from QQ Farm - "Traveling Frog".

Have you raised a frog today?

"My son doesn't go out anymore. What should I do? I'm waiting online. I'm in a hurry!" "I've been eating at home since I came back from a trip! Is there something wrong with me?" "My Cuihua You sent me a postcard 40 minutes after leaving home, so good~"

Is your circle of friends also surrounded by such comments? Recently, the topics discussed by friends have changed from "Li Zeyan is so handsome" and "I will always love Xu Mo" to "Where are my frogs?"

At the same time, their self-proclaimed names have also changed from Bai Qi His wife, Li Zeyan’s wife, Xu Mo’s wife, and Zhou Qiluo’s girlfriend have become my frog’s old mother.

This idle mobile game called "Brigade" is a casual game developed by Hit-point. The gameplay settings of the game are very simple, and can even be said to be very "mentally retarded".

The first scene of the game is the courtyard. Here you will see this cute and aloof little frog. It will not talk to you. It stays at home reading books and writing letters every day to keep it interesting. When he got married, he would wear his little hat to travel and have some fun. When I think of your "old mother", I will send you a postcard or bring some souvenirs.

The only thing you can do for it is to harvest the clovers in the yard, buy "lunch boxes", "lucky items", "props" and other products, and prepare the food and luggage needed for the little frog's trip.

And it will go out for a trip at a certain point in time. As for when to go out and when to come back, it all depends on its mood.

If you are careless and do not prepare items for it, the little frog will run away from home and never come back.

From raising a "husband" to raising frogs, whether it is Weibo, Tieba, or Douban, there is a "frog raising trend".

Why are “retarded” games so popular?

Currently, there is no official Chinese version of "Travel Frog" for IOS, which also means that Chinese iPhone players have just broken the language barrier and made a game that they can't understand at all. The all-Japanese game has topped the free list in the Apple Store game area.

From the perspective of game participation, the frog raising game is comparable to our previous QQ farm. If "Love and Producer" can satisfy girls' love fantasies, then how can such a "retarded" game become a hit product that is popular among friends?

Hotspot Fungus downloaded the frog raising game and experienced firsthand what it was like to feed a frog son.

My first impression is that it’s so cute! Different from the exquisite painting style of domestic games, the game page of Raising Frogs is very cartoony. All the pictures and characters are hand-drawn. When playing the game, it is like watching a cute cartoon animation.

For many female gamers who value appearance, such a cute style makes them want to stop.

Many players also said that Frog Son is who I used to be! Aloof, not communicating with parents, not saying hello when going out...

When the frog is at home, we hope it will go out to play quickly, go out more and see the outside world; if it goes out for a long time and does not come back, I worry about whether it reaches each destination safely, and ask over and over again when it will come home.

"Zai'er, you finally came back and went for a walk with dad?" "Hey, where's Zai'er? Where's Zai'er? - Oh, by the way, I just left." "Zai'er My son has grown up and made so many friends. ""Why haven't you come back yet?"

Although many players have no experience of being parents, they have truly experienced the feelings of parents.

Maybe this is the reason why such a monotonous game can be loved by so many people.

Old Mother’s Guide: This is how to raise a little frog

Since there is no Chinese version of "Travel Frog" yet, many players have to retreat when faced with the Japanese language.

In order to help you become a worried old mother smoothly, Hotspot Fungus has compiled some game strategies on the Internet for reference only.

1. Harvest clovers

Clover is the most important part of the frog raising game. Without clover, you cannot go to the mall to buy food, lucky charms and props for your frog son.

There are two ways to obtain clover. One is that as time goes by, clover will slowly grow in the flower bed at the door. It will usually grow in about 3 hours. Remember to harvest it in time. If you If you're lucky, there may even be four-leaf clovers growing in the flower beds. The second way to obtain it is very simple and crude - buying it with money.

There will be food, amulets and other items in the mall. As long as you can collect enough clovers, your frog will not be hungry when traveling.

2. Package storage

After buying something, remember to help Frog son put it into the bag and put it on the table. If you forget to prepare a package for him, the frog son will run away from home!

Different combinations of lunch boxes and props determine the different locations and encounters your frog son will have each time he travels.

In addition, Frog Son will send different star films during his travels, and when he meets some friends, he will come to his home as a guest. Players need to entertain them with famous specialties, and then they can also receive their gifts. Return gift...

As long as you raise frogs carefully, you will definitely get feedback from the frog son. No more talking, I have to read the postcard sent to me by my little frog.
