Frog Fractions: inside the mind behind the world's strangest video game

The Guardian

When Jim Crawford released a browser game named Frog Fractions in 2012, half the people who played it called him a genius; the rest thought he was deranged. What most of them seemed to agree on however, was that they loved it. When influential site Rock Paper Shotgun covered the game, it did so under the header: "Frog Fractions might be the greatest game of all time". Unpredictable and absurd, Frog Fractions starts out under the guise of a piece of edutainment software in which you control a frog sat on a pond scooping up bugs and defending fruit. Then after buying a few upgrades, you're suddenly riding a dragon through an underground tunnel that takes you into Crawford's own bizarre version of video game wonderland.
