Blindfold Games are entertainment apps provided as a service to the visually impaired community by Objective Ed. Your in-app upgrades pay for the development and support of these games.  Hopper is an fully accessible audio game inspired by the classic arcade game Frogger.. In Hopper, you are a frog sitting on a lily pad, and you need to jump to the next lily pad. Using head phones or ear buds, you hear the lily pads move from one side of your head to the other. Each lily pad is represented by a different musical loop. When the lily pad is directly in front of you, tap the phone to jump to the next lily pad. You can move your lily pad left and right by swinging your arm or rotating your body, and you can jump to a lily pad in front of you, or behind you. Each time you jump, the next lily pad comes a little bit faster. And if you stay on your lily pad too long, an alligator will eat you. There is a STARTER PACK in-app upgrade that unlocks the easy levels, and several other in-app upgrades to unlock other features. And we've just added flies to catch, eagles to avoid, life rafts, sleeping darts and lots more.
