Frogatto is an action-adventure “platformer” game starring a certain green dude.

So anything with a free engine belongs here?

It should be all the code, not just the engine.
https://github.com/frogatto/frogatto/blob/master/LICENSE

With regard to the question in a broader view, some games are built using a libre engine but the rest of the code is proprietary. Some games are even built on a libre engine under a permissive license and don't provide their modified versions of the source code. What they give you could be malware for all you know.
Frogatto is an example of game code under a libre license but with proprietary assets, which doesn't really restrict the freedom of users. It does however affect the redistribution of the software but this is supposed to be dealt with else where with public domain and fair use laws. I may be dead before that happens though thanks to mickey mouse.

I tried it out but I found it plodding and badly designed. the precision jumping parts were shit, and the combat was excruciating.

eventually I just got fucking board of going slow, fighting the physics, and getting killed by random shit that flew in from offscreen so I started running past all the enemies like it was a speed run.

the difficulty completely dissipated; if the roughly 1/3rd of the gameplay is killen' monsters, and it's not fun, you need to rethink your shit.

the tech is cool and the art is amazing. I had a fuck around with the editor and that was very impessive as well.
