— The basics

What is Frog Cross?

Frog Cross is a modern take on the timeless Frogger formula. You guide a tiny frog across busy roads and dangerous rivers, dodging speeding cars and hopping between drifting logs and lily pads. The rules are simple: every successful crossing scores points, every wrong tap ends the run.

What keeps Frog Cross addictive is how cleanly the difficulty ramps. Lane one is forgiving — slow cars, gentle gaps. By lane five the cars are blasting past, the gaps are tighter, and the river logs are moving fast in opposite directions. The game never adds new rules; it just keeps tightening the timing window. That is the classic arcade design philosophy: same controls, exponentially harder execution.

Beginner tips for Frog Cross

Always look two lanes ahead — plan where you will land before you tap, not after.
On the river, jump onto a log as it enters your row, not as it leaves. You get more time on it that way.
Wait one extra tick when you are unsure — most run-ending mistakes are taps a fraction too early.
Build up a rhythm. The cars in each lane move at a steady speed; once you feel the beat, dodges become automatic.
Do not chase the highest-value lane at the start. Survival distance matters more than per-jump score.
