About the StoryIn 1970, NASA sent two bullfrogs to space in order to test the effects of weightlessness. There was no recover plan for the spaceship or the frogs inside. What do you think these two frogs might have said to each other? Game Details |

Just two frog buddies chilling in space, July 31, 2023This game was entered in the Neo Twiny Jam, written in 500 words or less.
It's about a real thing I never knew existed, the Orbiting Frog Otolith, which was an experiment thing where they put two frogs in space and measured the effects of weightlessness on them, with no intent of ever recovering them.
I looked up 'Otolith' and it means 'ear stone', which is a pretty weird name for a spacecraft. But apparently there's a part of the ear with that name in frogs (and maybe humans?) and the experiment studied that.
Anyway, this is a short game with a lot of branches; I got about 6 different endings, but all the ones I got were grouped into two major groups. It's pretty fun, imagining two frogs chilling and trying to talk to each other about things that are purely beyond their comprehension.
Two Frogs… Floating in Space…, July 15, 2023
What happened to the two frogs sent into space by NASA in the 70s? This is what this entry tried to envision in those 500 words. Did they ignore each other? Did they console each other? Did they drive each other crazy? We will never know… but isn’t it interesting to think about?
