Hopper
======

Introduction
------------
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.



How To Play
-----------
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.

Score
-----
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
