Appy Frog

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 12:31:49 +0000

Once you hop you just can’t stop!
Addictive fun for all ages! Help the frog to leap across the lily pads to reach the dung heap on the other side of the pond where he can feast on flies galore. Flick out the tongue to catch as many flies as you can but beware of the bees with a nasty sting in their tail!

It’s simple. You must try to eat as many flies as possible, with just 3 lives for each game. The pond can be treacherous; with each level getting more difficult to cross and a life lost for every time he takes a dip. Once you reach the dung heap the frog can enjoy his dinner but be sure to avoid those angry bees.

Choose between jumping methods either flipping the phone or touch and hold.

Have fun trying to beat your friends and family or even just better your own top score.
Happy hopping!

Appy Event is a widget that you can add to your homescreen to keep track of how many days there are to go to a particular event. For example you may wish to count down to a holiday, baby due date, Christmas, birthday or some other special event that you are looking forward to.

You can tailor the look of your widget, changing the text colour and the background. Create smart looking widgets by blending two different background colours together. As a finishing touch, icons can be added from a pre-loaded list to match the occasion.

The widget can also be used to count how many days since a particular event by setting a date in the past. For example if you put in your date of birth you can see how many days you have lived!

To find your new app once you have downloaded and installed it, add a new widget to the homescreen and you should see ‘Appy Event’ in the list.
