🧑‍🎓 Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? XSX Review 6.5/10 "well...are you?" 🧑‍🎓 @MassiveMiniteam #IndieGames #GameDev

I think I’ve only ever played one truly awful quiz game – downloaded from the Nintendo eShop, natch – and so it almost feels like it’s impossible to make a bad game based on the quiz show format.

That said, it is very much possible to make games that don’t stand out from the crowd – and that’s kind of the high-wire on which Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader teeters.

🐸🏝️ Time On Frog Island Nintendo Switch Ten Minute Taster Gameplay "Time Is Of The Essence" 🏝️🐸 #GameDev #IndieGames

Shipwrecked on a strange Island:

A terrible storm ravages the seas around you, casting your mighty vessel into the perilous rocks of a nearby island.

You awake to find your ship in pieces, shipwrecked on a strange island filled with… frogs?

A spaghetti network of trades will take you all over this strange island as you seek out materials to fix your boat. You will meet a cast of friendly characters, solve head-scratching puzzles, find hidden treasures, and much more as you explore the world of Time on Frog Island.

Explore at your own pace:

- Make your own path in this island sandbox, you never know what will be around the next corner!

- Get to know the froggy locals and help out where you can.

Discover new items by fishing and farming, and concoct simple brews that will change how you traverse the island.

- Learn from the frogs and put your new skills to the test around the island.

Trade to fix your boat:

- Try not to get too sidetracked by island life!

Experiment with everything!
