Superfrog is back to save the day!

Superfrog HD, a modern reworking of the 1993 2D platformer with tweaked gameplay, updated level design, and enhanced cartoonish graphics, is available 60% off on GOG.com. That's only $3.99 for the first 72 hours!

You know how the story goes: an unlucky prince is magically turned into a frog by a nasty witch. But here is a twist! Thanks to a mystery potion the frog gets super powers. To rescue his kidnapped princess the amphibious superhero will jump around 24 finely crafted levels, across 6 themed worlds. He'll even defeat challenging bosses along the way. If you thought the amphibian champion might be a bit out of shape after 20 years in retirement--think again! Superfrog HD stays true to the original while updating the mechanics and adding in modern polish to the games visuals.

Help Superfrog save the day in this modern throwback to one of the best classic platformers of the 90s, get Superfrog HD, for only $3.99 on GOG.com, until Sunday, September 14, at 9:59AM GMT.

About all I know about this title

I'll gladly buy this here again if the developper got rid of the retarded "game language is hard-tied to OS language" crap of the Steam version, which led to me not playing the game at all ; no way I'm playing something in badly translated french.

So, can I finally set the language at my convenience ?

Ah so now you have the original and the remake, not being a huge fan I have no idea if the remake is any good.
Looks nice though.

I think you can that if you right click the game application in your Steam library, choose Properties, then the tab "Language" and select your language from there? My Steam games have that option anyway from what I can see.

Except it doesn't do jack shit in Superfrog HD (or isn't even present, can't remember which).
I'm speaking specifically about this retardness : http://steamcommunity.com/app/234000/discussions/0/666824800697109478/

In cases like this I use this nifty tool called SBAppLocale:
http://www.steelbytes.com/?mid=45

All you have to do is to copy it in the same folder and create a batch file containing this line
SBAppLocale.exe 1033 NameOfTheGameExecutable.exe.

Now whenever you run this batch file the game will think your system language/location is english.

That's what they want you to think, so they can take over the world.

Why no Linux version? I just checked it's Steam page and there's a Linux version there but not here.

Would have been an insta buy otherwise :/

I was just about to ask for the Linux version, maybe it's just delayed.

Hey thanks a lot ! That should also prove useful for some of the more pesky jap' games.
