    Lol it's the only one left I need for the set. I've been making the first two today, and been searching for any kind of Bovis species since :p

    Just got it, thanks!

    If Pocket Frogs releases on the 15th, would it be on the Canadian / American App Store at 8:00pm PST on the 14th?

    I have a very true and disturbing story. Be warned, what you read may shock you.

    While browsing the frog store, I noticed something that caught my eye. It was labeled "television" and said that it applied +100 happiness, for only 125 coins, something I couldn't refuse.

    I bought the TV which surprisingly had a shipment time of only an hour. I thought I was getting a great deal, but I was gravely mistaken.

    When I placed the television item in the room, my frogs immediately gathered around it. I didn't even know that the frogs could interact with items like that, but I thought it was some funny joke put in by eeen or marsh or whoever-else. If I hadn't been headed to town, I would've said something. But even when I got back into a wifi zone, I figured I wouldn't spoil it.

    But anyway. I first noticed something was strange when it had been 2 hours straight of frogs crowded around the tv. But suddenly, more frogs came in from the edges, and I realized that my other frogs had come from the OTHER habitats to watch. I began to laugh as I saw them crowd around the TV. Suddenly I heard the sound of an obviously recognizable song: "I wanna go to America!" They were watching West Side Story. I figured this must have been a developer favorite and it was some kind of funny inside joke.

    In a while the movie ended. As the credits started to roll I noticed the frogs start to turn away from the TV. I then noticed them gather in the middle of the screen, and heard these cute little squeaky ribbit noises. They were having a movie discussion! It was adorable until one squeaked very loudly, and the other jumped back. It must have said something offensive. I was ROFLing until one of the frogs leaped forward and mauled the frog in question. No blood or anything, just mauled it and killed it. The dead mess of a frog faded into the background, and I thought wait, eeen said that frogs can't die!

    Things erupted from here. The frogs started to split up into groups - there were 3 main ones that I saw. One composed of the plainer, single colored frogs and one of the more colorful ones, as well as one made up of the crazy patterned ones.

    The groups split up into the 3 habitats and I'm sure if I had a fourth, there would be 4 groups. Every few minutes the frogs would have group huddle discussions, then send out one of their members to attack and kill members of an opposing group. My frogs quickly decreased in number, and I was getting frightened. I almost deleted and reinstalled until I realized i could not get it back if I did that.

    The plain frogs made a group attack on the colorful frogs, and killed all but one, which ran away to the Patterned group. It surrendered to them, and sadly joined their cult. I took the frog out to the pond, but it was gravely disturbed and wouldn't move anywhere. It finally jumped into the pond and faded away, bringing me back to the habitat.

    I came back to a horrible battle of frogs, with some of them brutally mauling each other, and finally one of the patterned ones drew a knife which it threw at a plain blue frog. One of the others, a plain orange frog, ran and intercepted the attack and was stabbed with the knife, dying immediately.

    The blue frog ran towards the dead orange frog as it faded away, making an extremely sad expression. It looked at the patterned frog and said "WHY?" in a clear squeaky voice, then sprawled out and faded away. I immediately trashed the TV, never to be seen again.

    I now have only a yellow muscus frog left, who sits in one spot, blinking. I have taken him to the pond but he refuses to move, and all other frogs I try to bring in he kills aggressively. I warn you - do not buy the TV if you see it, it will only destroy your ecosystem. All I can say... Is "Why?"

    I've noticed that different colour combinations have different values...

    Has anyone noticed which ones are the highest?
