A hand-painted frog jumping game: hold to charge, leap across lily pads, and collect treasures. Play offline on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. FrogHops brings a hand-painted Chinese pond to iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Hold to charge, release to jump, and turn a quiet moment into a satisfying test of precision. Hold anywhere on the pond to charge. Release to leap toward the next floating platform. Landing safely keeps your run alive; landing near the center earns more points; a perfect landing builds your precision streak and earns a petal. Choose your way to play: progress through 999 increasingly challenging Journey levels, score before time runs out, keep leaping in Endless mode, or challenge a friend on the same route on iPhone and iPad. Later routes introduce smaller targets, varied pond platforms, and mirages that can be revealed with earned petals. Petal darts are earned and used within each run. Reach floating coins and gems before they fade, then spend the gold on frogs in the Frog Shop. My Pond lists your collected items, their value, and owned frogs. Frog cards show their price and jump strength: stronger frogs leap farther with the same charge. Your available gold and owned frogs sync between paired devices. Choose between two complete visual worlds included from the start: the indigo-and-gold Moonlit Silk or the mint-and-peach Peach Mist. Themes change the presentation, never the physics, scoring, or leaderboard fairness.
