The base game costs 980 yen, with a supporter pack available for 600 yen. A launch sale on Steam offers a 38% discount for one week after release. The game supports Xbox Game Pass. Frog Sqwad is a cooperative chaotic puzzle action game for up to eight players. Players control frogs in the sewers, using their sticky tongues to jump between pipes, grab objects, and throw teammates. Eating food causes frogs to grow larger, eventually becoming giant Mega Frogs that can roll through stages. Taking damage shrinks frogs into small eggs, requiring teamwork to recover. The goal is to meet daily food quotas set by the Swamp King. Meeting quotas unlocks new developments, and gold earned in the sewers can buy toys and gadgets for future runs. The sewers change each playthrough, introducing new dangers. Voice chat is supported, with frog mouths syncing to player speech. In-game collaborations with PEAK and Roadside Research elements appear. The game supports Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and 12 other languages.","whyItMatters":"The release marks the debut title from Panic Stations, a new studio within the Skeleton Crew group that specializes in cooperative multiplayer games, and it is already available on subscription service Xbox Game Pass at launch.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003ePanic Stations is a new studio within the independent game company group Skeleton Crew, which shares values of small teams, focus, creativity, and care.
