The perfidious elves have kidnapped the (sort of) beautiful princess Angel-lick-her and taken her to their swamp cleansing facility! As they drain her magic, the marsh is cleansed, making it inhospitable for all battlewugs. The swamp requires your aid, battlewugs. Will you croak, or will you fight!

Battlewugs is a Shadowdark gauntlet, intended for four 0-level players, all of whom will be playing the eponymous frogmen, battlewugs. It was designed and created for the Shadowdark 8-bit Game Jam of Jan-Feb 2026.

Battlewugs is inspired by 3 legendary 8-bit games; Battletoads, Zeld II: Adventures of Link and Solomon's Key.
