全民掀起养蛙热！从这只不羁爱自由的青蛙身上，你看到了什么？

听说，最近很多人的手机里多出了一只“蛙儿子”。

朋友圈的“老阿姨”们集体荣升“老母亲”，担心半夜还没回家的崽子浪出危险，对着它捎回来的土特产和明信片傻笑。

有时候，还怕儿子在花花世界里流连忘返，或者被女朋友拐跑，忘了回家。

在一众慈母的诱惑下小编也玩起了这款名为《旅行青蛙》的游戏软件。

游戏界面是全日文的，但是逻辑和操作很简单：为青蛙准备出游用品并等它回家。

感受下这单调而软萌的画风↓↓

场景只有两个：院子和屋内

小青蛙在家时，就是一幅时光荏苒、岁月静好的样子：

一个人吃饭

在被窝里看书打瞌睡

在小桌子前奋笔疾书

要出门远行也说走就走，没有告别。而你能做的，就是在呆家里收割三叶草，为它攒路费，再苦苦地等待它回家。

最让人抓狂的是，这蛙儿子的出行目的地和旅行时长都不确定，你也无法控制它的行为。

真是一只潇洒随性的崽崽呢。据考证，这只青蛙的真身应该是日本雨蛙（Dryophyte）。

研究两栖爬行动物学的在读硕士齐硕在《科学人》发表文章，考证了“旅行青蛙”所属的物种：

The star frog is a dryophyte, one among 46 species of tailless amphibians that exist in Japan. Evidence includes that it has no streak on their back, command good skills of climbing, and rarely appear in water. Dryophytes could also be found in Korean Peninsula, Mongolia, Far East of Russia and Northeastern area of China.

结合这只青蛙体背面无斑纹、善于攀爬、不常于水中活动、喜欢逍遥四方的特点，在分布于日本的46种无尾两栖动物中，只有日本雨蛙才符合这个特点。这一物种在日本国四大岛及其周边岛屿多有分布，还分布于朝鲜、韩国、蒙古、俄罗斯远东地区以及我国东北三省。

可以说，这只青蛙已经在中国彻底火了。

1月10日，“旅行青蛙”软件在只有日语版本的情况下，登上了App Store中国区免费游戏排行榜榜首。

It rocketed to the top of the list of free game of App Store China on Jan 10, when it still solely had Japanese version.

在只有日语版本的情况下，这款游戏在2018年1月10日登上App Store中国区免费游戏排行榜榜首。

开发它的游戏公司在四年前就做出了一款大火的吸猫游戏：《猫咪收集》。

The game is developed by Japanese game company Hit-Point Co., Ltd, which designed Neko Atsume four years ago.

这款游戏由日本的Hit-Point公司开发，该公司也是《猫咪收集》游戏的开发者。

由于游戏目前只有日语版，语言不通也是让许多玩家愁白了头。

这不，为了养好自家的蛙，全世界的“家长们”可都在潜心研究养蛙攻略。

还有热心家长，在论坛上整理了从入门到具体的养蛙攻略，供大家参考。

以下是初始版攻略，知道这些就好上手了。

❶ Though it is a waiting game as Neko Atsume, what you do is the preps for his trips/packing, with food, travel gears and good luck charms.

这是款放置游戏，你要做的就是给你家蛙准备好旅行的食物、装备以及护身符。

❷ The currency is clovers which grow in his yard.

游戏中的货币是三叶草，长在你们家院子里。

clover：三叶草

❸ He travels to many famous vacation sites in Japan and sends cute pics from there or somewhere on the road in between.

小蛙会去日本很多著名景点旅行，还会发可爱的照片给你，有景点照，也有路上拍的。

草津温泉

❹He brings back some local specialties, including food items and non-food items, as souvenirs. However, there are no souvenirs if you get him only cheap food, besides the first trip.

它旅行回来还会带纪念品或土特产哦。不过除了第一次旅行，如果你只给它买便宜的食物和装备的话，它们就不会带东西回家。

❺There are visitors like a snail, a bee and a turtle at his door. Each time they visit, there is a flyer in the mailbox, and you get a lottery ticket if you view it by tapping on it. Make sure you have an internet connection before you tap, and it will ask you if you like to view the advertisement or not.

你家门口隔三差五会有小蜗牛、小蜜蜂、小乌龟到访。它们每次来的时候，你的信箱就会有提示。点击查看你就能收到彩票。打开信箱前一定确保连好了网络，系统会问你是否查看。

❻Tap on a visitor, the food souvenirs box opens, which you get from the frog, then you choose the food to treat the visitor with. In return, the visitor sends lots of regular clovers or one four-leaf clover later.

有客人来访时，点击“游客”，装有小蛙带回来给你的食物箱子就会打开，你需要把好吃的拿出来，招待客人。 作为回报，客人会给你大把三叶草或者是一个四叶草。

❼ Time to time, the frog gets the new titles as a traveler, like a care-free wanderer. You can see them by tapping on him, but they are in Japanese. It seems that those titles have some effects on the development of the game.

时不时的，小蛙也会获得各种旅行头衔，比如“无忧无虑的漫游者”之类的。点击小蛙就能看到（虽然是日语），但不同的头衔貌似对游戏进程也有影响哦。

❽ Eventually you start seeing his traveling buddies, a red crab, a mouse and a butterfly, in his photos. They are absolutely adorable!

再往后玩，你会看到蛙蛙旅途中的伙伴，小螃蟹、小老鼠、小蝴蝶……真的超可爱！

❾ You get lottery tickets from visitors and the frog, usually when he returns. With five of them, you can play it. Go to the shopping page, then tap on the icon on the top right corner to go to the lottery page. Tap "まわす" to play only if you have five or more tickets. If you get a white ball, that means you lost.

小蛙和来做客的小伙伴有时会带给你小彩票，集齐五张还可以抽奖哦。在购物页面点击右上角图标，再点击“まわす”就可以玩了。白球就是啥也没中。

❿ You can see the list of goods you can win by tapping "景品一覧". With a yellow ball, you have the choice of train tickets with four different directions. With a red ball, you have the choice of Konpeito-candies with four different flavors. With a green ball, you have the choice of Tamago-boro snacks with five different flavors. With a blue ball, you have the choice of good luck charms with five different colors. All these can influence his choice of the destinations.

点击“景品一覧”就可以买到很多东西。黄色的球是四个不同目的地的车票。红球是四种不同口味的糖果。绿球是五种不同口味的零食。蓝球是五种不同颜色的护身符。所有这些都会影响小蛙今后选择去哪儿旅行。

学会了攻略，那么，下面我们来正经地聊一聊，是什么驱使你下载了这款游戏？又是什么支撑着你养蛙至今呢？
