Did you hop-pen to notice anything strange about today’s Not-E3 showcases? A feeling that the lilypad might be a little bit crowded as of late? It’s frogs, dear readers. They’re everywhere right now, and I can’t seem to put a webbed finger on why they seem more commonplace than even sci-fi horror games (opens in new tab). We noticed frogs show up a few times during the Guerrilla Collective showcase, but it was the Wholesome Games Direct that really opened the pondgates to a flood of frogspawn. Frogun (opens in new tab), a game where your gun is a frog, showed up at both. Olliefrog: Toad Skater is a no brainer, but did you spot a frog show up in hellish glass underworld shredder Skate Story (opens in new tab)? Image 1 of 11

Here Comes Niko sported a froggie friend, A Frog’s Tale is a frog’s tale, and Chris has made the argument that even if Schim isn’t about a frog, the shadowy soul-creature hops and plops across shadowy ponds just like one.
