First, climb to the top
Miraculously, this game, which has no Chinese version and no promotion, and the version is 1.0. 1, has successfully rushed to the first place in the domestic free game list of the App Store just yesterday, and the WeChat index is also rising rapidly.
How hot is it? Friends circle WeChat group Weibo is sharing the experience of raising children everywhere:
In the APP store, there are countless comments like the following, which even makes me suspect that this is the official water army:
Second, a frog who loves to travel.
Traveling Frog has a slow pace and a clean interface. There are only two main scenes, one is the living room of frogs, and the other is the place where clover is planted outdoors.
The protagonist of the game is a frog, a frog who loves to travel. Get the frog a ration, and it will go out for a trip. Do you want to wait or wait, until your frog brings back his photos of traveling around Japan and local products or his friends.
The currency of the game is clover growing in the yard (also available). Collecting four-leaf clover in the yard can be used to buy frog food and outdoor supplies, and occasionally there are four-leaf clovers mixed in it, which can be used as amulets for traveling frogs.
Food lunch boxes are the main props for frogs to travel. You just need to put the food you bought in your backpack (), press it and restart the game, and the frog will travel with his lunch box. Of course, you can also buy him an amulet or put a four-leaf clover.
Everything in the store is very clever, and the lunch boxes and props prepared by the players are different every time, which seems to affect the results of the frog's return from travel:
On social networks, in the topic of # Travel, players share their frog travel photos one after another. There is no doubt that the photos of the trip look very healing and have great communication effect.
Travel photos of frog's son
The frog will go home after the trip. Players can open the curtain behind the ladder in the house and see what kind of local products and photos the frog brought back this time.
Interestingly, due to the uncertain return time of the frog's trip, it is very likely that the frog will run out of the gate again after logging in to the game, and the players' desire to see the frog's son will inevitably be lost again. But the frog son came back with gifts and super-healing travel photos, which was a little relieved.
In addition, when frogs go home, they may also bring friends home, sometimes pot cows and sometimes bees. These friends will also give players egg-flipping coupons, which can be flipped once every five as a reward.
The developer also said in official website that frogs use "wit" to decide the destination and route of travel, and travel is a long process, even as long as four days. Players need to wait patiently, the frog will come back anyway. If "!" The sign in the lower left corner of the screen shows that if you let the frog out in this state, the frog may not come back.
Japanese netizens said that this picture of a moth catching a frog flying was obtained by using 3,000 lucky bells, 1500 lanterns, 750 high-end tents and burdock biscuits won in a lucky draw ... Sure enough, it's not that my frog doesn't have friends, but that poverty restricts his circle of friends, Weibo @ Mariko on high.
How can it be hot without an expression pack? The expression pack about this frog on the Internet has been quickly screened:
Third, who is behind this?
In fact, behind this game is the hit point of Japan.
2065438+07165438+1On October 24th, Hit-Point released the Android/iOS version of the traveling frog. The game is only set in Japanese, but the gameplay is simple and the operation is simple. Even if you are not familiar with Japanese, you can slowly piece together the working mode of the game through the interaction between the menu and the game.
In fact, the strangeness of the game also adds more mystery to the game. When you try to understand the game, you will find that you can play traveling frogs completely freely, which is undoubtedly a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
Hit-Point's well-known cat backyard has become a global hot game before the English version was developed. Takasaki Yutai, the project manager of Cat Backyard, also said in an interview with the media on 20 15: "When we play games, we don't think of foreign users, we only consider Japanese players."
After the launch of "Cat's Backyard", it was loved by players all over the world. The production team increased from 2 to 5, and then the English version was released. In addition, in this year's "Cat's Backyard", the PS VR version will be released, and the three-dimensional cat absorbs sound very strongly.
Traveling frogs and cat backyards have a lot in common. They all wait and collect, and the game characters are cute. But to some extent, the attraction is different. In the cat backyard, you buy food and toys, so that the cat will appear in your house to enjoy a meal or play for a while. As long as you keep the food container full, when you open the game, you will almost always see some cute kittens appear.
But Traveling Frog is slightly different. The protagonist of the game is only a frog. Often goes out for a long time. When I went out, the room was empty. You don't have to do anything but harvest clover outside the yard and prepare frog bags for your next trip.
Fourth, Buddha raises frogs.
After playing this game, just like raising a child, everyone suddenly becomes a loving and kind old mother. She sews carefully and repairs it thoroughly, fearing that it will delay him coming home late.
Frog Frog wandering at home, the old mother will worry: I bought everything for you, why don't you go out?
When frog frog is not at home, only the old mother is left alone.
Since I raised this frog son, my friends can't help but open the APP to see what my baby son is doing. Many people say that it feels like an instant mother after playing, and they think like this all day ~
Since the concept of "Buddhism" became popular last year, more and more people have taken this word as their own label. Traveling Frog can be regarded as a Buddhist hand tour. It is peaceful and quiet, does not harm the liver, and does not need krypton. The frog's son travels at random every time. When he can't go out, when he goes out, where he goes and when he comes back are all random.
When you open it, it may not be there, it may be busy, and it may not serve you. It has been going its own way and doing its own thing, and will not change because of you.
Players can't take the initiative to control frogs to do anything, but more is to observe and wait, and the greatest pleasure comes from this. Players are looking forward to the return of "Frog Son" like empty nesters, constantly checking the travel photos it sent back and the local specialties it brought back.
5. Why are you fascinated by this frog?
Eating melon two ya analyzed in the article:
1, worried. As mentioned above, the little frog doesn't need you to worry about feeding or arranging its daily life. It will eat, read and travel by itself.
As an old mother with adopted son, you only need to pull out the clover in front of the door occasionally, go to the store to buy some food, and prepare the luggage for it to go out.
2. mystery. The little frog never knows the time of departure and return, nor what gift it will bring you when it comes back. Everything is full of unknown surprises.
For example, "Short Message to Friends in the North on a Rainy Night" said: "When I ask you to return, it rains late in the autumn pool. When * * * cuts the candle at the west window, it talks about the rain at night. " The little frog's whereabouts are unknown, but waiting for it to come back has become an exciting experience. This is a rare thing in a society where information is rapidly developed and people can easily contact each other.
3. cure. Although the little frog can't talk to people or do things according to anyone's arrangement, its existence is a silent cure.
Some people say that from the experience of worrying about young frogs, I realized the painstaking efforts of my parents at home;
Some people say that life is boring, and looking at the photos of little frogs traveling is like traveling by themselves;
Some people say that the little frog reads and writes quietly and concentrates on being himself. It is really cute.
Others say that real life is a chicken feather, and only baby frogs can experience the quiet years here.
……
Let's see what these "empty nesters" are saying:
@ Cyanxi
My frog always wants to let him out when he has been reading in the afternoon. When it was opened, I kept opening it to see why she hadn't come home yet.
Sister Mars belongs to the earth.
My silly son has been worried that he ran away, and finally just came back and brought me a postcard. Now he is eating, moved!
@ Xia Wanming
Baby, you've been writing all afternoon. Where's your paper?
@ pineapple wrapped girl
This morning, the little frog went out for a while and came back to chop wood. In the afternoon, he went out again and didn't even send a letter home. I miss you, and Ma Ma, who mows grass at home, misses you too. ?
Sixth, why is it hot?
Sun Jinlong in "Frog Journey Why Fire? According to analysis, there are usually three conditions for a thing to catch fire: environmental attachment, self-propagation and sufficient information density.
1, environmental adhesion:
We need a stress-free game.
From mourning culture to Lycium barbarum thermos cup to Buddhism, young people nowadays are the output of negative emotions.
Life is too short, life is too hard, and the pressure of making money and KPI is suffocating. Why bother yourself in your spare time? To raise a frog, you only need to unplug the four-leaf clover occasionally and prepare some luggage. You don't have to work hard to support the savage, and you don't have to listen to the footsteps carefully to guard against LYB.
You just have to look at it.
If you can't go out, you can go anywhere and come back at any time. Buddhism stresses impermanence. Since everything is impermanent, it is better to enjoy the present.
It is predicted that following the frog's journey, there will be another batch of games, even stress-free physical hardware.
2. Self-communication:
Frog's son has many cute points. He will doze off when reading, which will hurt many people's hearts ~
The game is also made with great care, and many postcards are taken from real scenes.
3. Sufficient propagation density:
This is something that many people ignore. I always feel that if something is on fire, it will be good enough and users will spread it spontaneously. Naive ~ you know, in a movie, publicity expenses generally account for the bulk. At this time, whether it can catch fire depends mainly on deception.
"Little Apple" is said to have been prepared for more than a year, found many teams to shoot, and then made a lot of communication with Youku homepage as the main position before it became popular. Now, the propaganda position has changed from a centralized website entrance to a decentralized circle of friends. When a variety show starts, it is common to find hundreds of official WeChat accounts to write soft articles.
It is useless for one or two people to say yes. It is really good for everyone in the circle of friends to say yes repeatedly.
Once your communication density reaches a certain critical point, you will find that a large number of opera artists will spontaneously enter the venue. They like to express themselves, and they like to give meaning. In the circle of friends and Weibo, I watch it (even watch it) every day. When it's hot, I pursue health, and when it's hot, I pretend to be a Buddha. For them, frogs are just talking about money and props, symbolizing the rich taste of life.
Reference:
Some pictures and texts come from the Internet.
People who eat melons: Why is the frog-raising game in the circle of friends so hot? The fact tells you that it is better to fall in love than to raise frogs!
Jinlong Chat Operation: Why is Frog's Travel Fire?
GameRes Hot Money Network: These women not only pick up girls but also raise frog sons, and the Buddhist "Traveling Frog" is the second most popular free list.
Say, what does your frog son usually do?
Why do you feel hot?
