On Steam, you can get a little companion for a small price for everyday life. But don’t worry, you don’t have to kiss the frog.

Ropuka’s Idle Island is a cozy little farming simulation with a special twist. The little frog and his island will find a place on your desktop and accompany you through your everyday life, whether you are working and just spending some free time on your PC. On Steam, the amphibious co-working buddy costs just under 4 euros and delights players.

Perhaps the most relaxed farming sim.

Ropuka is a small and cozy frog that lives on a tiny island. Although the “idle” in the name suggests that absolutely everything in the game is completely automatic, you do have to take care of the little frog from time to time.

Your new friend actually only has one job: He cuts the grass on his island and when that gets too exhausting for him, he takes a nap to recharge his stamina.

The grass that Ropuka harvests serves as currency in the game You can use it to buy various things:

  • Improvement of the tools for cutting grass
  • Extension of the stamina bar
  • Effectiveness of naps
  • Improvement of grass quality

You can also trade the grass for gold and use it to buy loot boxes. This way you can get different objects to decorate the island These include trees, different designs for the frog house or a fence that goes around the island. In addition, there are new color variations.

Perhaps the most relaxed companion

You can place the island freely on your desktop and resize it as you like. Occasionally, Ropuka will say something nice to motivate you. If you listen to music while you work, the game offers an optional relaxing lo-fi track or nature sounds.

Steam users clearly enjoy Ropuka’s company, with 97 percent of the reviews positive.Huey writes, for example: “I enjoy checking on my little frog man after exhausting games of Marvel Rivals.”

User Klebusshe says: “An absolutely fantastic game. It will undoubtedly become one of my favorite games of all time. Somehow it feels like I have a Tamagotchi again!”

Bonus fun fact about frogs: The Puerto Rican tree frog is one of the loudest frogs. The call of the male can reach up to 100 decibels, which is comparable to a jackhammer or a loud concert. But don’t worry, Ropuka is a quiet and relaxed fellow who just wants to chill with you.
