Playing with a keyboard or touch screen
On a computer, most Gaimo games are played with the keyboard. Click inside the game area first so it receives your key presses. On phones and tablets, games that support touch can be played by tapping and dragging on the screen.
Games pause automatically when you switch to another tab or window, so you won't lose progress if you are interrupted.
Frog's Way Home
Frog's Way Home is an arcade-style browser game focused on timing, movement and precision. Guide the frog across a flowing river while carefully choosing where and when to jump.
The river is full of surprises. Stones slide from side to side, the current pushes your leaps downstream, branches drift past, snakes patrol the water and, in later levels, logs roll under your feet while fish leap out of the river. Each of the ten levels adds a new twist, so the game grows with your skill.
Objective
Safely guide the frog through the river and reach home on the far bank to complete the level, while avoiding dangerous areas and failed landings.
You have three chances per crossing. Missing a stone sends the frog into the water, and a splash can wake the snakes. On longer crossings, a halfway flag lets you retry from the middle of the river instead of starting over. Your best crossing time for each level is saved so you can try to beat it.
How to play
Observe the next stone, adjust the frog's direction, charge your jump and release at the right moment. Try to land near the centre of each stone for better control.
- Choose a level on the start screen and press Start. New levels unlock as you complete the previous one.
- Aim the frog towards the next stone by turning left or right.
- Charge the jump. Hold the jump key and watch the landing marker travel forward. It slows down as it passes over a stone.
- Release to leap when the marker sits on the centre of the stone.
- Land accurately to build a streak of perfect landings and charge Water Flight.
- Catch fireflies to charge Calm Water, then use your abilities on the hardest sections.
- Reach home on the far bank to complete the level.
Controls
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| ← → or A D | Turn the frog. On a wobbling stone, lean against the tip. |
| Hold Shift | Make smaller, more precise turns |
| Space, ↑ or W | Hold to charge the jump, release to leap |
| ↓ or Esc | Cancel a jump charge |
| B | Use Water Flight (when charged) |
| C | Use Calm Water (when charged) |
| P | Pause and resume |
| M | Sound on / off |
| 1–9 | Pick an unlocked level on the start screen |
Touch: on phones and tablets, drag from the frog to aim and set the distance, then let go to leap. When an ability is ready, an on-screen button appears — tap it to use Water Flight or Calm Water. The pause and sound buttons sit in the top-right corner.
Special abilities
Water Flight: successful accurate landings charge Water Flight. Land three perfect jumps in a row to fill the Flight meter. When it is ready, Water Flight lets the frog travel above the water for a short time, carrying it up to three stones forward in one go — perfect for skipping a dangerous stretch.
Calm Water: fireflies sometimes drift over the river. Catch three of them to fill the Calm meter. Calm Water makes the river hold still for a few seconds: logs stop sliding, the current eases and everything in the water slows to a crawl.
Levels
Frog's Way Home has ten levels. Each one introduces a new challenge:
- 1The first crossingLearn the hops. Two snake lanes.
- 2Sliding stonesEvery stone slides side to side. Time your leaps.
- 3Snake seasonSliding stones, wider gaps and more snakes.
- 4Fast waterA fast river pushes your leaps downstream. Every fall costs one of your three chances.
- 5Branches & rapidsStones slide both ways and branches drift down the river.
- 6Rolling logsFloating logs roll and slide — land dead centre or the frog slips off.
- 7Fish runA zig-zag crossing, with fish darting between the logs.
- 8Leaping fishThree long gaps, then a tight cluster — and fish start leaping from behind.
- 9Fish swarmThe logs march across the river while groups of fish leap at you.
- 10The schoolA gauntlet of fast, wide-swinging logs, and a whole school of fish leaping at you.
Tips
- Aim for the centre of stones — centre landings are the safest and count as perfect.
- Don't rush difficult jumps. Wait for a sliding stone to come towards you.
- Watch distances carefully; the landing marker slows down over a stone to help you.
- Build accurate landing streaks to charge Water Flight.
- Use Water Flight strategically to skip the most dangerous section of the river.
- Save Calm Water for fast currents, rolling logs and groups of leaping fish.
- In fast water, the current pushes your leap downstream — aim slightly upstream.
