How to Play
Road Hopper is a traffic-and-river crossing game. Guide the frog upward through moving cars and across floating logs to reach the goal row.
Cars move on road lanes, while logs carry you over water. Falling in water or hitting a vehicle ends the run.
The course is 540 units tall on a 40-unit grid, and the lanes are fixed: five river rows on top with drift speeds of 1.5, 2, 1, 1.8 and 1.2 alternating direction, then road rows below running at 2.5, 3 and 2 and faster. Your frog is 25 units, slightly smaller than one grid cell, which is why a half-cell misalignment is usually survivable on logs but never on roads.
Because river and road lanes alternate direction, the safest crossing is almost always a diagonal: you are moving against the flow on one lane but with it on the next.
Controls
- Arrow keys — Move frog up, down, left, right
- Start — Begin run
- Space — Pause or resume
Tips & Tricks
- 1Cross roads when cars are spaced — don't rush mid-lane
- 2On logs, move with the log and plan your jump off
- 3Use the two safe banks to pause and read the next set of lanes
- 4Sometimes waiting one beat is safer than hopping forward
- 5The five river lanes alternate direction, so read each new lane's arrow before committing — the pattern flips every row
- 6At 25 units on a 40-unit grid you have roughly 15 units of slack on a log, so you can afford to ride one and correct your position
- 7The fastest road lane runs at 3 units, nearly three times the slowest river lane — treat road rows as timing puzzles, not reaction tests
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I cross the river?
Land on a moving log and hop toward the next platform before it carries you off screen.
What increases score?
Each upward hop adds points, with a larger bonus for reaching the goal row.
When does the run end?
A collision with a vehicle or falling into the water ends the run.
How many lanes are there?
Five river lanes across the top and several road lanes below, all on a fixed 40-unit grid.
Do all lanes move the same way?
No. Directions alternate row by row, and speeds run from 1 up to 3, so every lane needs its own read.
How much room does the frog have on a log?
The frog is 25 units on a 40-unit grid, so you have visible slack to land slightly off-centre and still survive.
