Seafrog is a non-linear adventure game where players use skateboarding tricks and combos to explore massive, skatepark-like levels, all while trying to escape a mysterious sinkhole in the ocean before it reveals its true nature. Developed by OhMyMe Games, the game does not yet have an official release date, but the studio has shared some fascinating details about its creation and mechanics.

Tyler Maitland, founder and director of OhMyMe Games, explained that the concept of Seafrog was born from a desire for a game that allowed players to move creatively through space in a fluid way. "I never played a game that let you move through space creatively like Seafrog does," said Maitland. The theme of the ocean and ships was also inspired by his recent move to Washington state, where shipbuilding is a significant part of the local culture.

In terms of gameplay, Seafrog stands out for its unique movement system. "You play as a mechanic who slides around on a giant wrench," Maitland described. Completing tricks and combos earns points that fill a Boost Meter. This boost allows for instant acceleration, enabling players to reach great heights, stick to walls, and even slide along ceilings, expanding exploration possibilities. Additionally, as a mechanic, the player must repair leaking bolts to progress, with these bolts found in hard-to-reach places.

Regarding the studio's goals for the game's release, Maitland emphasized the desire to create a classic. "We want Seafrog to be a game that players will want to revisit in 10 years," he stated. The fun and the potential to rediscover the game’s world are central to the experience that OhMyMe Games aims to deliver.

Although there is no official release date yet, Maitland revealed that the studio plans to launch Seafrog in the first quarter of 2025 if everything stays on track. He also expressed his admiration for old-school games, which were released as complete, polished products. "I have sketchbooks full of notes and ideas that I know won’t make it into the launch, but it will be very tempting to revisit them if Seafrog is successful," he concluded.

OhMyMe Games' enthusiasm for creating a memorable and lasting experience is evident in every aspect of Seafrog's development. Players can look forward to a rich adventure filled with creative exploration and unique challenges, set in a world that blends the beauty of the ocean with the adrenaline of skateboarding tricks.
