How to Play Feed the Frog Online

A piece of candy hangs from ropes in a forest, with a hungry frog waiting below. Cut a rope and the candy does not simply drop. It flies off with the speed and direction it had at that moment, and gravity carries it the rest of the way. The right cut, at the right point in the swing, lands it in the frog’s mouth.

Feed the Frog is free on Pokky Game. It runs in the browser, asks for no account, and starts when you press Start Game. It is a rope-cutting physics puzzle with 75 hand-built levels. Clear one level and the next one opens. Hit a zapper, or let the candy leave the board, and the level fails.

What a cut actually does

The candy swings on whatever ropes are still holding it. When you cut one, it keeps the motion it already had. Cut while it is swinging upward and it travels farther. Cut while it is coming back down and it drops short. The rope you leave until last is the one it swings from, so that rope decides the arc.

Up to three stars float on a level. The candy collects a star by passing through it. Stars sit on the route. Feeding the frog is what clears the board.

How the 75 levels change

The first 12 levels teach one idea each. After that, the sets narrow in: swing timing, then several ropes at once, then hooks, ramps and rubber bumpers, then electric zappers. The last levels use those pieces together.

A hook catches the candy in mid-air and ties a new rope. That rope can be cut like any other, and a hook only catches once. Ramps carry the candy. Bumpers bounce it onto a new line. Zappers burn it up on contact, and some of them move.

Playing a level

Open the game and press Start Game.

1. Watch the candy swing once before you cut anything. Note which way it is moving at the top of the arc.
2. Decide which rope should hold last. That rope sets the swing.
3. Cut a rope by swiping across it or tapping it. On a keyboard, press the rope’s number, 1 to 9, or choose it with the arrow keys and cut with Space or Enter.
4. Let the candy fly. If a hook, ramp, or bumper is part of the route, the first cut is only the start of it.
5. Collect the stars by passing through them on the way down.
6. Land the candy in the frog’s mouth. If it hits a zapper or leaves the board, restart and cut at a different point in the swing.

Getting the candy to the frog

Cut on the upswing when you need distance. The direction the candy is moving when the rope goes is the direction it flies. A cut at the top of a slow swing barely throws it. A cut while it is still rising sends it across the board.

Choose the last rope before the first cut. With two or three ropes, the one left holding the candy is the pivot. Cut the others away from that pivot, then time the final cut.

Plan a hook before you release. A hook catches only once, then gives you a new rope to cut. Trace the route from hook to hook, including the ramps and bumpers in between, and make the first cut only when that whole path is clear.

Watch a moving zapper for one full pass. Some zappers travel. Let one complete a cycle, see when the candy’s path is empty, and cut on the next pass as it clears that line.

On a phone

Swipe across a rope, or tap it, to cut. The same page works on a computer with the mouse or the number keys. Nothing has to be installed, and you do not sign in. Most games on Pokky Game keep your place in this browser, so a later level is still there when you come back on the same device.

Who it suits

It fits anyone who likes a physics puzzle where timing is the move. The early boards are one idea at a time, so the first session is easy to follow. Later boards ask you to hold a route in your head: which rope is last, which hook catches, and when the zapper is out of the way. If you would rather aim a shot than cut a rope, Ping Pong Ball is the other physics puzzle on the same site: 60 levels, and the job is to bounce a ball into a cup.

Feed the frog

Open Feed the Frog, let the candy swing once, and cut the rope while it is still moving toward the frog. The later levels are the same dinner, with more ropes and less empty air between the candy and a zapper.
