Froggy Frosh: Frog Jump Arcade

The river never stops moving. Neither should you.

Froggy Frosh is a one-thumb arcade game about jumping. Hold the left or right side of the screen to charge, let go to leap. Hold longer, go further. That is the whole control scheme, and you will still be getting it wrong an hour later.

WHERE IT GOES WRONG

Every landing pad is smaller than the last. Around the twenty-fifth jump the target has shrunk to a fraction of what you started on, and the current keeps pulling. Stand still to think it over and the river carries you off the bottom of the screen.

Nothing is random in a way that can cheat you, though. The game checks every platform before it appears, and only places a pad it has already proven you can reach. When you miss, you missed.

TEN FROGS TO FIND

Some you earn by climbing high. One is for the stubborn. One is for anyone who was here while the pond was new. Two are hidden in the main menu itself. The game nudges. It will not spell them out.

WHAT IT ISN'T

No account. No sign up. No internet permission at all, which means the game physically cannot send anything anywhere. It works on a plane, in a tunnel, on a phone with no SIM card.
