What’s It About?
Kids tap at the far top, left, right, or bottom of the screen to advance Frogger and help him avoid cars and slow-moving trucks. Once across the road, kids have to hop Frogger onto left-moving turtles and right-moving logs to get to the beach on the other side, snagging pink flies along the way. A 20-second timer means kids have to keep Frogger moving. Kids to share scores via Facebook or, depending on their device, OpenFeint or Game Center.
Is It Any Good?
Frogger is delightfully retro while employing modern touch and tilt controls. The goal: cross a busy five-lane freeway and alligator-infested river without getting squished or eaten. The scoring is a little confusing at first and the arcade music repetitive, but kids will love helping Frogger to safety.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
