FrogHop

I’ve come down with a classic case of spring fever and lately I’ve been looking to unwind with a select few mindless apps. “FrogHop” is the newest application I’ve discovered to satisfy my penchant for passivity. The premise of the game is to help your frog hop from colored ball to colored ball by matching the colors. As you guide him along, you can gain extra points by catching insects in the air; be careful of the stork who will try to steal his crown and the bombs in the water that can spoil the gameplay. Superior performance is rewarded with a collection of crowns and you can track your scores. The application is attractively designed with colorful creatures, the interface is easy to operate, and the instructions are clear. The game isn’t educational per se, but it definitely keeps my mind nimble by requiring swift color matching, keen observation, and dexterity to advance. My toddler is too young to appreciate this game - but I’m not - and I think it would appeal to children ages 5+ and adults. I noticed that some reviewers on iTunes had trouble with the application crashing, but this was not my experience. I think “FrogHop” is a hoppin’ good time and a fantastic choice to fill time when waiting in line or traveling.
