Hop across the logs, alligators and turtles, again avoiding snakes and alligator teeth. Land on a lily pad.

You can point the joystick in the direction you want to jump, then press the jump button. Or you can use the 2, 4, 6, and 8 keys on the numeric pad to jump instantly. [b]Controls[/b]: Speed, control scheme, and number of players are set before beginning a game. In a two player game, the 2nd player can set their speed and control scheme at the beginning of their first turn if they wish.

You can point the joystick in the direction you want to hop (or swim or fly), then press the either button to go. Or you can use the 2, 4, 6, and 8 keys on the numeric pad.
