Hop a frog across a busy road and a log-strewn river to fill all five lily pads — without getting flattened or going for a swim.
Swipe in any direction (up/down/left/right) to hop one cell. Cross the road dodging cars, then ride logs and turtles across the river. Land on one of the five empty lily pads at the top to score and respawn — fill all five to clear the level and advance. Each life has a timer. Three lives total.
Don't be greedy with the long stretches — the safest play is to claim the easiest pad first and bank the points, not the farthest pad. The level clears whichever pads you fill in whatever order.
On the river, time your moves to land on the BACK of a log, not the front. A log carries you forward; if you land near the leading edge and the log keeps moving in the same direction, you'll run out of log before the next lane opens. Landing on the trailing edge gives you the most ride time to plan the next jump.
The road is mostly about reading speed, not luck. The fastest lane (the one closest to the road's far edge in classic configs) only needs a single one-cell jump through a gap — but slow trucks can block you for half a second longer than you'd think. If a gap is too tight, wait one extra car-cycle on the safe cell instead of forcing the jump.
Filling pads in a corner-out order (outer pads first, center last) is harder because corner pads need diagonal river approaches — but you get a small efficiency bonus from not crossing your own previous routes. New players should fill center-out instead.
