Frogun Encore is a challenging game that builds on the foundations of the first game, maintaining a retro appearance and childlike wonder of exploration. The game is fast-paced and offers a level of challenge that can be frustrating but ultimately satisfying. The emphasis on speedrunning levels and the ability to invite a friend to play add to the enjoyment of the game. Despite the frustration, the feeling of accomplishment when beating levels or bosses makes the effort worthwhile.
