Description
Hopper is a Frogger variant.
Players have to attempt to get a frog to cross a busy intersection filled with speeding vehicles followed by hopping across a river by jumping onto the backs of swimming turtles and floating logs. Turtles are not the most stable platforms either as they can periodically submerge into the water. While crossing the river, players have to help the frog stay out of the way of otters and snakes. The back of crocodiles can be hopped on but only when their mouth is shut or else the frog can become their light snack.
The objective of each level is to get the frog across five times, once into each bay while doing so with a limited amount of time. On his way to the bay, the frog can earn bonus points by picking up a lady frog and bringing her home to the bay. Also, occasionally one of the bays will hold a fly and the frog can earn additional points by heading into that particular bay. Of course, the frog must avoid a bay when a hungry crocodile can sometimes be found waiting in it.
