Hey There !
Do you ever feel like life's too fast?
You don't know what the hell is going on, your mouth is dry, words escape you?
Well! Maybe it's time to step back, take a breather, and...
Write some AWESOME SEMI-RANDOM HAIKUS!
Will The Man Get Frog is a chill little game about making silly or sweet short poems and sharing them with the world! Don't worry about the blank page, the game will provide words for you. Just arrange them the best you can!
Features :
- Playable in browser and on mobile!
- Gif recording system: share your art with the world!
- Multiplayer(ish)! See how it works here.
- Inspiring music made by the talented c.diffin!
- Thousands of words to choose from!
- FOUR backgrounds available, one per season!
- ... That's it, really. It's a small game.
I was joined by c.diffin, a talented composer and fresh new game designer, who made an awesome soundtrack! Don't hesitate to check out his work here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=76573

The only way you could make this game better, is if you were able to get words based on a theme, like Halloween. But even without that, this game is cute as hell. I'm obsessed.
Hey, thank you very much! The game is also on Steam and there’s an haiku workshop occuring as we speak, if you’d like to participate!

The update was great! Here are my contributions to the library:
Haha, thanks for the contribution! I’m loving that this page is becoming a kind of library.
Part 2 -
This game is a gem.
I loved the challenge, you know,
It's a blast with friends.
Thank you once again,
T’was super nice watching you
And the chat write stuff.
Merveilleux petit jeu,
Génial à faire à plusieurs,
Chouette défi.
i have no idea how to make a haiku
But with this game i had fun
Hope you had too
Very noice! The game is not as much about creating proper haikus as just having fun with words. Glad that was the case!
is this a warning ?
Yes. No. Maybe.
We need to write songs with that game!
Always like ‘em twice, that’s what I say.
Cruel world.
It is our mission.
Good game!
Thanks, great one! Nuts sure have a lot on their shoulders.
Well done! Haikus are hard to master!
Yeah, it’s definitely a challenge to even make sense. Thanks a lot anyway!
Hello! I’m planning to print a poster with a big mosaic of player-made haikus to promote the game at local events where I live. Would you mind if I used some of the haikus you’ve posted in it? Of course I’ll release the .png file of the poster to the community when it’s done.
Do as you please. Although I don't consider my haiku a serious one...
Super cool game!!!
Ahah nice one! Thanks Tom, I’m happy you enjoy it.
I’m french. So i don’t speak english and i l’île snail.
