The game uses a top-down view. Players control a frog moving through a busy road and then a river section. In the road stage, the goal is to dodge cars and trucks; in the river stage, the frog must jump onto logs, turtles, and other floating objects to reach a home slot at the top of the screen. Each frog must be placed into an empty home to score, while collisions, drowning, or running out of time cost a life. Difficulty rises as traffic speeds up and water hazards become less forgiving.

Strategy
Watch movement patterns before committing to a lane. On the road, move in short bursts and wait for larger gaps rather than rushing. On the river, plan your next landing before jumping, especially on turtles that may submerge. Try to fill different home slots early so the final frogs do not get blocked by occupied homes.
