The game uses a single-screen top-down view. You move Frogger one hop at a time in four directions. The lower half is a road filled with cars and trucks to dodge, while the upper half is a river crossed by riding logs, turtles, and other moving platforms. Some platforms move quickly or sink, so timing matters. Fill the home slots at the top to clear rounds, with faster hazards and tighter timing as difficulty rises.

Frogger
The player-controlled frog trying to cross the road and river to reach the home bays at the top of the screen.
Strategy
Watch traffic patterns before moving instead of reacting at the last second. On the river, favor longer logs because they give you more room to adjust. Be careful on turtles, since some groups submerge and can drop you into the water. When nearing the top, line yourself up early with an open home slot to avoid risky sideways corrections. Keep moving to manage the timer efficiently.
