Upon seeing today's Amazon Free App of the day, I was instantly taken back to time where taxes, mortgages and working a hard 40 hours per week meant playing til the sun went down. Frogger, an instant classic since the day it was written has made its way to the Android platform in style. The Atari classic can be snatched up as today's featured free Amazon app. This is not a mock up of the original application, it’s the real deal manufactured by Konami. The game and play is virtually identical to the original. And just as the original, you’ll have to dodge speeding cars and trucks, hop on logs and turtle backs, all to reach the riverbank without becoming road splat. There are slide controls available for fluid movement in addition to being able to just tap, no need for joysticks in this day and age. Carry the female frogs to safety and earn bonus points as you eat flies on your way there. And unlike the original, the developers added a “Phantom Phroggie” mode.
An interesting twist in this version is Phantom Mode, which guides you during the game by showing the route you took in your best game. In regular mode, you can post your high scores online and see who the top guns are with OpenFeint. Happy hopping!
So, what are you waiting for? Did we mention it's free? If you're not currently rocking Amazon's App Store, you can grab the download here by entering your email address or phone number in the upper right hand corner for a download link. Be sure to have the “unknown sources” box checked off under Settings—>Applications on your Android device. Hit the break for a few screen shots for reminiscing.
