Croak!

A variation of the classic arcade game Frogger, designed to make use of the
Amiga’s hardware.

The basic gameplay involves guiding a frog into one of 7 home-bases at the top
of the screen, which have hard barriers either side of them (avoid these).
This involves first guiding him across a road, avoiding the vehicles, then
over a river using moving logs.

In this version the road has a variety of machinery to dodge, ranging from
standard cars to lorries – hitting one kills your frog and leaves a red
splodge in that part of the screen – a nice touch. The rivers also have
families of turtles appearing intermittently – these can be used to cross a
level, but they don’t stay up for long. There’s also a 2-player mode in which
both players compete to get into the same slots – player 2 using a yellow
frog.

You have a 60 second time limit for each frog on the first level, and 5 lives
at the start. Once all 7 slots are filled, you get a 50-point bonus for each
one, and move on to the next level. Progressively you have less and less time,
more traffic, less logs, and a few other difficulty elements – the part in
between the road and river has a chicken marching across to avoid, and a crow
swoops overhead ready to grab your frog.
