Frog

About

Frog is a high-speed arcade shooter where you guide a frog across a hazards-filled road and a treacherous river. The frog moves automatically left to right, forcing you to rapidly shoot oncoming vehicles and leaping insects to clear a path. With limited time and lives, the challenge lies in timing shots to avoid collisions while managing the frog’s energy. The game’s simple controls and relentless pace make it tense and addictive. Developed by Eric Chahi in 1983, Frog became a cult favorite for its inventive mechanics and punishing difficulty. Despite its age, the automatic movement and bullet-hell style influenced later platformers. Players often cite its unforgiving but fair design, with high scores earned through precision and reflexes. Its minimalist approach and escalating challenges keep it memorable over four decades later.
