Frogger keeps the idea that made Konami's original 1981 arcade cabinet a classic: hop your frog up through a lane of speeding cars and trucks, then keep going across a river by jumping between logs and turtles without ever landing in the water. Every life is really one long puzzle in timing — wait too long and impatient traffic keeps coming, move too fast and you jump straight into a car or off the edge of a log.
The goal is to get frogs safely into the empty home slots at the top of the screen, one hop at a time in any of four directions. Miss a jump, get hit, or run out of time and you lose that life and start the crossing over.
Controls
- Arrow keys (or WASD) move the frog one square at a time: up, down, left, and right.
Tips
- Don't rush the road — wait for a gap that lets you take two or three hops in a row rather than darting between single cars.
- On the river, jump onto the middle of a log or turtle's back, not the edge, so a small delay doesn't tip you into the water.
- Watch which way each row of logs or turtles is drifting before you land on it — it carries you along with it, for better or worse.
It's a short, replayable classic that rewards patience and pattern-reading more than fast reflexes alone.
