The story of Ribbit King is about a carpenter called Scooter who must win the frolf championship to save his planet from power failure. The game is like golf. You launch a frog into a hole in order to get points and go to the next hole. The more shots you take the less the points. However that is not the only way you get points. Throughout the course are things like trampolines, bubbles, and flies which give you points for using them. The more things you hit that give you points the score multiples by the point value. For example you hit a bubble worth 100 points after hitting 3 other things you get 300 points instead. at the end of 4 courses there is a bonus of 100 or 200 for various things like who's frog swam the most. A lot of times me winning depended on these bonuses. The game only has 20 courses but makes up for it by putting the starting point and hole at different places for each character you take on so they never get boring. The graphics and control are average and there are some glitches like your character standing on air or a frog part going though something but that does not effect game play. the cinema scenes are plenty and funny in this game as well. Some downsides are to see any part of the course it has to be from a sky view and you have to pick English or Spanish every time you turn on the game. Other than that everything was fine.
8.5 out of 10
Elephants are one of many things you can get points from.
The only reason I can think of a giant diamond above the holes is so you can spot it better.
This is what it looks like when setting up your shot.
