How it begins

You are a lady frog, carrying nothing, sitting on your lily pad. Insects fly past, and the pond continues to the east. You are angry because a human princess kissed your mate Reggie, turned him into a prince, and took him away. You want to find them and deal with the situation.

Notable features

• Some minor guess-the-verb, although the non-standard verb is fairly hinted at.
• Somewhat minimal implementation, which is not surprising because of the minicomp's time restriction. Also, some objects aren't implemented but must be interacted with regardless. For example, in one location mud is mentioned and there's no "mud" object and you can't "examine mud", but you can "x mud", which works.
• Something of a surprise ending.
