FROGGER JUNIOR – THE BIG LEAP FORWARD!

In May 2023, I started working on the graphics for a game project for the Amstrad CPC: Frogger Junior, a colorful remake of the famous arcade game Frogger.

Back then, the little frogs only had one goal: cross the road… but they had no idea what a long journey awaited them!

At the end of 2024, the talented Redbug took a look at my graphics and set out to bring them to life across several versions of the game. Thanks to his programming skills, our little frogs were able to leap from platform to platform and land—just in time for Christmas—on Windows, Mac, ZX Spectrum Next, and even Android!

But one major obstacle remained… You see, the Amstrad version, the very one the graphics were originally created for, still wasn’t ready!

We had to cross this last road eventually… And we hadn’t counted on Redbug’s tenacity, as this September 2026, he finished programming the Amstrad GX4000 version!

So, after over three years of small hops, big crossings, and probably a few squashed frogs along the way, Redbug, Pulsophonic, and I are particularly proud to present FROGGER JUNIOR for Amstrad’s little console! :slight_smile:

The CPR, along with a whole bunch of resources to create a physical version of the game, are available on the project’s official page: Frogger Junior - The Amstrad CPC Game

All that’s left is to get a running start… One… two… THREE… JUMP!

Happy gaming, everyone!

Silly oversight. The Spectrum Next version had SFX. So version 1.1 will be coming soon :slight_smile:

If you make another version to add SFX, maybe it would be nice :

  • Full English version, rather than text in English on GFX and other texts in French,
  • GX4000 buttons are 1 and 2, not A and B,
  • Is the Crazy Piri logo sequence necessary while the next screen includes it too?

I wanted to make a video as usual, but if you’re going to release a version with sound, I’ll wait!!! Thanks.

And the full English version, button 1 replaces A, and there’s a jukebox where you can listen to the great tunes by Pulsophonic.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions (and bug reports :P)!

Is it just me, or are the vehicles passing by in the same pattern instead of randomly?

Yes, I noticed that. Every time you die or reach the top, it resets the vehicles to the same starting position which means you can learn a route across the road.

it would be cool if they didn’t reset so you had to find a different way across every time.

It isn’t just you. I noticed this behaviour as well.

I also noticed that one the later desert level, when one level of the snakes move the background moves too with them.

Played the new version and I noticed a spelling error in English, sorry! When you complete a level it says “Dificulty increased”. Difficulty has two f’s in English…

I really like the addition of sound effects :smiley:
