GDC 2016: 'Runaway Toad' is an Endless Hopper that's Premium and Actually Has Substance

With the success of Crossy Road [Free] and its many spinoffs, it can be tough to get excited when a developer describes their upcoming game is an "endless hopper." You immediately imagine yet another Verby Noun game that doesn't do anything especially different from the many similar games flooding the market. So it was a http://goo.gl/JO3upS #Playistic

PAX South 2016: Finji's 'Runaway Toad' Has You Escaping a Princess with a Blimp: Finji Games' booth was full of PC games that they're publishing, but they haven't forgotten about mobile at all. Adam Saltsman of the studio showed me Runaway Toad, an endless platformer where you play as a toad escaping a very possessive princess trying to find the one toad that's actually a prince – seriously, she http://goo.gl/VljoCL #Playistic

VERY excited to announce our latest collaboration and publishing effort: RUNAWAY TOAD, a new mobile game from the creators of Super Splatters and illustrator Nina Limarev! A bit of background story below...

Once upon a time there was a swamp, a princess, and a toad. The swamp was a swamp, and it was full of swamp things. It was a good swamp.

The princess was a princess. She lived in a tall castle next to the swamp, doing whatever things princesses do in castles. In her dreams she waited for the day her charming prince would rescue her. She was not unreasonable though, and was willing to meet her prince halfway. So she captured and kissed every toad she could find. Probably too many toads. But her mind was made up.

Toad was a toad. It was a fateful, rainy day when Toad noticed rather suddenly that he was completely alone in the swamp. Toad could not hear the royal toad-catching blimp through the rain.

Before Toad knew it, Toad was property of the princess.

But Toad loved the swamp, and did not want to live in a castle, regardless of how tall it was (quite tall), or how many princesses lived there (one). Toad knew that life was full of compromises, and hated to disappoint anyone. But everyone knows that toads belong in swamps, and Toad was, as previously established, a toad.

Toad considered the options, but deep down, Toad knew what had to be done. Toad waited patiently, and when the opportunity presented itself, Toad did the only thing that could be done: ESCAPE.
