Hop the frog across the busy motorway trying to avoid four lanes of fast-moving traffic. To get across the river to the frog's lair you must leap on to the frogs and turtles' backs, but beware of the diving turtles, the crocodile and the snake.
Complete with music and full sound effects, dragonfly, timer and table of high scores.
Hope the flog across the motorway dodging the cars and lorries. To cross the river use floating logs and turtles' backs as hopping stones, leaping from one to the other before finally hopping into one of the five froggy lairs.
Some turtles occasionally submerge; these must be avoided. Later in the game you may come across a crocodile, a snake and a dragonfly.
Your attempts to cross the river and road are timed, and you have to hurry if you are to complete the course at all! The timer displayed in the corner of the screen counts down from 400. If it reaches zero, you lose your frog.
When five frogs are safely in their lairs, you have 'cleared a sheet' and can start on another one. Later sheets include the crocodile and the snake.
Z - Left, X - Right, : - Up, / - Down
Sound effect options (which can be selected at any time once the program has been loaded):
Q - Quiet, S - Sound Effects, T - Tune and Sound Effects
If you wish to play with joystick, press the fire button to start the game. Then use the joystick to hop the frog forward or sideways.
Score 10 points for each hop forward (without being eaten, squashed or drowned)
Score 200 points if you eat the dragonfly (by landing on top of him!)
Each time you clear a sheet (in other words, when you get five frogs safely into their lairs) you score 1,000 points
You have three frogs to start with, and you gain one frog when you have scored 5,000 points
