The toad's abode is by the road

The frog's abode is boggy

That is why the toad seems dry

And why the frog is soggy.

Hi there! I'm the creator of this game, happy to answer any questions people might have. This is a total surprise, thanks so much for playing!

I would like something that tells me how to tell the difference between the two based on the images.

One of the things the game is trying to communicate is that this isn’t possible :)

Very disappointed by the absence of score in the end, I feel my effort was stolen. I don't bother about real taxonomy

I've got terrible news for you: inspect the source in browser.

What's in there? I'm afraid to be fooled again - I will inspect and find nothing

I wish there was a blurb on what makes a frog vs toad so we can be educated on how to distinguish vs just blind guessing. Or if there isn't any, say so and maybe some history on why.

There's an explanation at the end of the game!

I think I went through a few of them and it became clear I didn't know the difference at all and didn't feel I'd get an explanation of why so stopped there.

It would have been better for each result to talk about why it was classified as a toad or frog.

The game doesn’t track score, to the extent that frog and toad are not even separate buttons
