Ze_ro Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Important Note: This weeks competition is over and no further scores will be accepted. Leapin' Frogger! Home may look like it's only a hop, skip, and a jump away, but looks can be deceiving. First, there's a dangerous highway to hop across, full of fast-moving cars and trucks. Then there's a swirling river to leap, full of frog-eating creatures. How's Frogger going to get home safely? By letting you hop him on his way. Guide Frogger safely through this perilous journey, and you'll jump for joy!

Deteacher Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 ARRRRGH! I can't believe I forgot to post a score for last week's game. I did play, but it's too late now. A mistake I won't make again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, neither does Toy, I'm sure! Mac, I haven't put your boxes out yet...will do tomorrow, I promise. EDIT: My first go around: 4,426. This is actually easier to play with keyboard commands on the emulator...too bad the flicker is wicked bad. I'll see what I can do on actual hardware later on.

Deteacher Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) 4,626. The game actually rolls back to the first level of difficulty, but with both snakes. I only had 1 life going into it, but I couldn't figure out the pattern with only one life. I'll have to keep playing it to see what happens.
