- Frog Hop Directions
-
- v1.0

- Copyright 1996
-
-
- OBJECTIVE
-
- The objective of Frog Hop is to keep the frog jumping along
- the lily pads for as long as possible. When enough points
- have been acquired, a special Next Level lily pad will appear
- and you must have the frog reach it in order to continue to
- the next level.
-
-
- GAME PLAY
-
- At the start of the game, you will have 8 seconds before the
- frog begins to jump off the pink starting pad. The frog
- will follow the direction of the yellow dots that are
- on each pad. You must create a path for the frog by rotating
- the lily pads in a clockwise direction by clicking on them with
- your mouse. After the frog jumps off a pad it will sink and
- cannot be used again, however, the lily pads with the cross (+)
- are never removed from the board.
-
- Your frog can jump off the game board from the top, bottom,
- right or left as long as the lily pad opposite the exit
- (top to bottom, right to left) is a valid entry path.
- 15 bonus points are awarded every time you exit and re-enter
- the game board.
-
-
- STARTING LILY PADS
-
- The frog will start to jump off the pink starting pad after
- 8 seconds have elapsed. During the 8 second count down,
- you can rotate this starting pad, but once the frog starts
- to jump, you cannot.
-
- On some higher levels there will be several frog starting pads.
- You will not know which one of them is the real starting pad
- until the frog starts to move. Some levels have as many a three
- starting lily pads, so you'll have to plan quickly for all
- possibilities. When the real frog starts to jump, the dummy
- starting pads will be reset to normal lily pads.
-
-
- JUMP METER / RESET BOARD
-
- There is a Frog Jump Meter located on the right side of the
- board. This meter counts off the number of lily pads the
- frog has jumped on. If you can get the frog to travel across
- 8 lily pads and can exit the game board, then all the pads
- will be reset and 50 points will be added to your score.
- Each time you reset the board, one pad will turn dark green
- and cannot be jumped on by the frog.
-
-
- POINTS NEEDED / NEXT LEVEL PAD
-
- The points needed score indicates the amount of points you
- have to reach before the special Next Level lily pad appears.
- You must then have the frog reach this pad in order to continue
- to the next level. The needed score is computed with this formula.
- Score + (Level * 75) + 100
-
-
- TURBO JUMP BUTTON / DOUBLE POINTS
-
- The frog gains points the longer it continues to jump. If you
- click on the Turbo Jump button below the game board, then the
- frog will speed up and get double the points. When the frog
- exits the board and re-enters it, the speed will resume at the
- normal pace. Using the Turbo Jump button is essential to gain
- high scores. Make sure your pathway is already set up before
- hand.
-
- BONUS LILY PADS
-
- On some levels there will be special blue or red bonus lily pads
- with either 60 or 30 written on them. If you can get your frog
- to jump onto these special pads you will have those bonus points
- added to your score. You get double the points if the frog is in
- Turbo Jump mode!
-
-
- FORK PADS
-
- These pads are signified by the ? on them. If your frog jumps
- onto these pads it will randomly select one of the possible
- directions. Every time you use one of these pads you will be
- awarded 15 bonus points.
-
-
- THE FLY
-
- On each level a fly can appear on the game board. If you can
- get the frog to land on the lily pad with the fly, then you will
- be awarded 250 points. (500 points if in Turbo Jump mode)
-
-
- END OF LEVEL
-
- The level will be over when the frog comes to a dead end and
- cannot continue to jump. Each dark green lily pad on the game
- board will add 50 points to your score. If you have successfully
- reached the Next Level lily pad extra bonus points will be added
- to your score. The extra level points are given using this
- formula (level*100).
-
-
-
- END OF GAME
-
- If your frog runs into a dead end and does not reach the
- Next Level lily pad the game will be over. If your score is
- in the top ten all time high scores, then your score will be
- recorded and you will be asked to enter your initials onto the
- scoreboard.
-
-
- POINTS / SCORING
-
- 5 points for each jump ( 15 per lily pad )
- 15 points for each fork lily pad
- 30 points for the red 30 point bonus lily pad
- 50 points for resetting the game board
- 60 points for the blue 60 point bonus lily pad
-
- (100*Level) points for completed level
-
- 250 points for capturing the fly
