Frog Crossing

Dodge traffic, ride the current

Hop the frog up through lanes of moving traffic, then across a river by riding logs instead of touching the water. Reach one of the five lily pads at the top to score, and fill all five to advance to a faster, harder level.

You don't restart from zero every time

A death sends the frog back to the furthest safe checkpoint you've reached — the near bank after the road, or the far bank after the river — rather than all the way to the very start. That means the road and river sections are effectively two separate challenges to master rather than one unbroken gauntlet, so if you keep dying in the river, it's worth deliberately practicing just that stretch instead of re-running the road lanes over and over to get back to it.

Road and river reward opposite instincts

The road section rewards decisiveness — waiting too long in one lane just means dealing with the same gap in traffic later instead of a better one, so committing to a gap the moment it's safe beats hesitating for a "perfect" opening. The river section rewards the opposite: patience and precise timing on log speed matter more than quick reflexes, since jumping onto a log too early or late is what actually causes most river deaths, not the log's speed itself.

Filling all five lily pads, not just reaching one

Reaching a single lily pad only scores that one crossing — advancing to the next, faster level specifically requires filling all five, which means a full run needs five successful road-and-river crossings in sequence, aimed at a different pad each time. That structure is what turns this from "cross once and you're done" into an actual full round with a real sense of progress toward completing it.
