Agreed, I think Pixfrogger is OK.  I was unsure about the sprites,
but only because it seems to have many different art styles, more
than I expect for the small number of images.

Without Pixbros it's easier to reimplement Pixfrogger's on another
game engine and drop Fenix.

It looks like a direct copy to me, compare the platforms in 31 and 32:

All of the levels have that level of similarity, I've just chosen 31
and 32 because 21-30 have simpler designs.
