We all love a roguelike but what about a roguelike with some hungry frogs?
Well, if that sounds like your cup of tea, then you will love this brand-new Steam release which combines the thrill of a roguelike with a whole lot of time pressure.
Croak Cafe: From Pond is a cooking roguelike from developer Pizza Wearing Pants.

You will take on the role of a chef who must craft dishes under time pressure to feed to some hungry and demanding frogs.
As you cook more dishes and upgrade your skills, you will be able to take on some of the hardest bosses in this fast-paced culinary adventure.
Can you become the ultimate froggy chef?
In Croak Cafe: From Pond, you will have to choose between an array of diverse ingredients in order to make the best meal to suit your customer but the longer they wait, the more agitated your jumping friends will get.
The more guests you serve, the more upgrades you can unlock such as increased timers, cash boosts and even cutting down on food waste if your customers get so agitated they leave.
However, rising to the top is a lot harder than it sounds as the more meals you serve, the bigger and more difficult bosses you will face.
“If you like cooking games and roguelikes, this is a no-brainer,” one positive review reads.
“It’s free-to-play, it’s fast, and it’ll eat hours of your life before you realize it. Feeding frogs shouldn’t be this stressful… or this fun.”
User SilentStorm agreed, adding, “Pretty fun game, love the art and the music! Can be somewhat challenging, I can see myself coming back to it every once in a while!”
For user SynistaLynch, Croak Cafe: From Pond is perfect for fans of cooking and even more so, frogs.
“If you love fun cooking puzzles with frogs then this is your game.
I love how the frogs look and all the different dishes you can make.
I have been playing this for a while and I have to say it's a great way to relax and spend time making dishes for frogs. 10/10.”
Although Croak Cafe: From Pond is a simple game on paper, its fast-paced action is enough to make it both challenging and alluring.
So if you want to check out a roguelike with a twist, Croak Cafe: From Pond may just be the one for you.
Better yet, it is completely free to download on Steam right now.
