Life: UUUUUU

Score: 0

Instruction

Controls:
- W: Move up (forward)
- S: Move down
- A: Move left
- D: Move right
- The frog rides along with logs, turtles, or crocodiles in their moving direction when standing on them.
- You cannot leave the edges of the game area.

Goal & Rules:
- Reach the goal zone at the top and land on an empty dot (.).
- Water is deadly unless you are on a platform (log, turtle, crocodile).
- Cars are deadly on collision.
- Jumping into an already occupied goal will kill you.
- Stepping outside the game area will kill you.
- You have 6 lives (shown as U). When all are gone, Game Over is displayed — click Restart.

Scoring:
- +10 for each new row upwards (except the goal row).
- +200 for reaching an empty goal.
- +1000 bonus for filling all 5 goals, then the goals reset.

Obstacles & Platforms:
- Road: Cars "[=]", "[o]", "[#]" move in different directions.
Water:
- Logs "==="
- Turtles "(o)"
- Crocodiles ">═»"
- All move at different speeds and can carry you, but can also push you off the edge.

Tips:
- Jump early on water rows to avoid being pushed off by moving platforms.
- Time your crossing on the road, cars alternate directions between rows.
- Goals can be filled in any order; aim precisely for the dots.
