Get a frog home across the traffic and the river

Quick facts
- Version: 1.2
- Platform: Windows
- Levels: 15, plus your own with the editor
- Trial: free, fully functional, 30 days
Key features
15 levels of road and river hazards
You guide Froggwin through rush-hour traffic, then across rivers. Cars, trucks and other vehicles are a danger on the road. Snakes, otters and other predators are a danger near the water. You hop across turtles and logs to reach home at the top of the screen. Fall in the water and you drown.
Build your own levels with the Frogg Level Editor
The Frogg Level Editor is a visual design tool for making levels that play in the game. You aren't limited to the 15 that come with it.
Set the number of Froggs, the speed and the timer
You can change the number of Froggs and the play speed. You can also play with the timer on or off. With the timer on, taking too long to get home costs you a life, and each second left when you arrive earns bonus points.
Bonus points from flies and lady Froggs
You score extra by gobbling flies and escorting lady Froggs. To clear a level, you fill all 7 home slots.
Who it's for
It suits you if you like simple, quick arcade games and remember the original. It also suits you if you enjoy making your own levels. It is a small old-style Windows game, not a modern title.
