Why did the frog cross the road?  Because he wanted to hop perilously between speeding trams to get to the other side.

Hoppit is a game that on first inspection could be mistaken for Frogger.  After all, you are a frog, you start at the bottom of the screen and while traversing several hazards, must make your way to the top.  The screen layout is very similar too, but this is where the likeness ends.

Instead of avoiding traffic, you've got to hop on to it.  Trams rush past at an alarming speed and you must jump on one where you are carried along before hopping off onto one of the traffic islands or grass verge.  Repeat this until you are at the top and that is your job done.

Typically of an early Vic20 game, the controls are simple yet awkward.  F1 to hop forward, F3 and F5 to hop left and right.  Not the most intuitive.  The sound is basic at best and annoying at worst.

However despite all this, Hoppit is still an entertaining game for a while. It just doesn't last long enough before you reach for the off switch.
