---

FROG SORD is an action platformer inspired by Super Meat Boy and Ninja Gaiden.

 In one glance, you know exactly what awaits you in the upcoming Frog Sword: vibrant pixel graphics, challenging platforming, and sword wielding action. You play as the titular Frog, swinging the titular "Sord" as you platform over spikes and across gaps and through dangerous enemies. From the forests seen here to subterranean tombs and sand-logged ruins, you'll need to wall jump and air dash and time your attacks to survive. With influences like Super Meat Boy and Ninja Gaiden, you can expect a game where your skills and reflexes are your only allies; there will be no upgrades or power-ups to overcome the bosses, special enemies, and hazards that await.

Frog Sord is still in development, with an alpha tentatively set for December and a full release planned for sometime in 2014. You can follow the game's progress on TIGForums, IndieDB, and the developer's site.
