[@lvk4lx]

i am entirely too amused by the way the ending played out. jimmy, and to a lesser extend impulse, horrified at having just witnessed gem and grian commit frog regicide, the latter declaring himself as new frog royalty. skizz running in after everything went down going "i'm here i'm here!" in his diamond armor he insisted he didn't need. perfect. no notes.

[@Huntracony]

I have to agree with Grian: it wasn't even a competition but you managed to win anyway. Cool and varied challenges, gorgeous and huge castle, even lore!? You knocked it out of the park, even if it was easier than expected.

[@AllyEhlers]

And a lot of terraforming too

[@krishacz]

Frog to seize the crowns. Or, y’know, something along those lines 🤷‍♂️🐸
