Frog Fractions will be getting weird on Steam this year

Frog Fractions, the 2012 browser game, is an enduring oddity that's packaged as an edutainment romp designed to teach your mites about the wonderful world of fractions. It absolutely isn't that. It is, however, brilliant and weird, and soon to arrive on Steam.

The Game of the Decade Edition has been remastered as a native executable and will be free when it launches in mid to late 2020, just like the browser version. Neither the Steam page or designer Jim Crawford mention other changes, but I'd be surprised if Crawford didn't sneak something else into it.

Frog Fractions 2, for instance, snuck out inside an entirely different game, Glittermitten Grove, created by a different developer. Thousands of prospective players spent two years looking for it. Following that, I just can't imagine Frog Fractions Game of the Decade Edition launching normally.

If you've not played the original, you deserve to go in untainted, so I will instead leave you with Steam's largely spoiler-free description.

If you can't wait for the Game of the Decade Edition, you can still check out the browser version.

Fraser is the UK online editor and has actually met The Internet in person. With over a decade of experience, he's been around the block a few times, serving as a freelancer, news editor and prolific reviewer. Strategy games have been a 30-year-long obsession, from tiny RTSs to sprawling political sims, and he never turns down the chance to rave about Total War or Crusader Kings. He's also been known to set up shop in the latest MMO and likes to wind down with an endlessly deep, systemic RPG. These days, when he's not editing, he can usually be found writing features that are 1,000 words too long or talking about his dog.
