Happy Birthday to The Croaker! On February 22nd, 2022, I released The Croaker to itch.io. Because of this, I am now hosting a birthday event! Collect as many apples as you can before February 23rd at 2:22 PM for a chance to win a prize! Prizes are listed below:

1st place- 1,000 amethysts

2nd place- 500 amethysts

3rd place- 250 amethysts

The whole top 3 will also recieve a badge for their placement in the next content update.

It will be worth the wait!

This can basically be whatever you think will make the game better. You don't have to shy away from ideas; everything is on the table (Except for obvious joke ideas)! Place your suggestions for features in the comments/discussion area of this post. An example could be platformer ghosts, which many other games…Community31 Mar 2026Maybe Not?Hello! I just noticed today that the game, out of nowhere, has had a MASSIVE boost in sales. That said, I think it is the right choice to continue working on the game at least for now to please the new players who just bought the game. If it really ends up picking up even more in sales, it will stay alive much longer. But if it declines again (Like back to averaging 0 a month) then I will proab…
