About

The hopping-across-the-road arcade idea, built from scratch: dodge cars and trucks moving at different speeds, then ride drifting logs and turtles across the river without being carried off the screen. Each frog that reaches an empty home scores a time bonus; fill all five to clear the level and face faster, denser traffic.

Objective: Fill all five homes on each level before your lives run out.
