About this game

Jumpin Jack is an action arcade game from LiveWire Software based on the classic road-and-river crossing formula. Guide the frog safely across the road, leap onto turtles and tree trunks, and reach one of five slots on the opposite shore.

Once all five slots are filled, the sequence repeats at a faster pace. The Commodore 64 and MSX versions add pseudo-isometric graphics, a female frog, and an insect that can be eaten for bonus points.
