Concept

• The player controls a frog that can only hop around. 
• Help the frog cross the poisonous river and make it to the other side filled with food.
• The level starts off with simple obstacles that help the player identify the controls.
• Starting off with the simplest of puzzles, there exists at most 1 unique path to reach a fixed platform

Art

Camera

• The camera follows the frog, with it a little left to the center.
• Shows at least 3 platforms ahead to allow the player to plan the moves.

Main Mechanic

• Apply a thrust on the frog in the direction the player needs to move.
• Refer to the table in the legend or below picture to learn more about hop and jump
• A hop is 2 sq horizontally and 1 sq vertically, and a jump is 5 sq horizontally and 3 sq vertically.

Objective

• The objective is to climb the platforms to reach the needed food/material.
• The water is poisoned, so the frog cannot fall into the water.
• Move in a specific combination of hop and jump to reach the destination.

Walkthrough

• The player starts on the left side of the screen, as indicated in the image above.
• The player has to move to the right and reach the end point all the while hopping and jumping on the platforms.
• The floating platforms sink after a duration of approx. 3 sec upon contact with the player.
