This is a game called Hot Foot, which I created for the Macintosh. It's a variation of the standard mine field type game, but created from a bent point of view-- mine.
Move your frog around Maudlin Pond, hopping from lily pad to lily pad, squashing bugs and collecting points along the way. But beware! Below the surface thar be eels! Electric eels to be precise, waiting patiently to deliver a jolt that will fry your frog like it was a piece of baloney. Ouch! Use the mouse or the keyboard centered on the letter 'J' to move your frog. Complete a level before the timer runs out and you earn bonus points. Earn 10,000 points and you earn an extra frog. The Danger Pane reports the number of eels surrounding your current location, and lily pads that you have visited will show the number for that pad. As you advance through the levels more eels will be living in the pond, but there is no guarantee that you can reach any one bug without giving up a life. Some bugs may be completely surrounded. In any level eels won't jolt the same pad twice. Hint: Be careful.
Hot Foot 2.0 is distributed as shareware. The author asks for a $10 shareware fee
if you play it and like it. If you are down on your luck and REALLY can't afford it, send any amount you feel comfortable with. Hot foot 2.0 represents a considerable effort on my part, by sending me a donation, you make it possible for me to write even better games for the Macintosh. Anyone who sends donation will receive my heart felt gratitude, and will get any future updates free. Feel free to distribute Hot Foot 2.0 however you want. I only ask that you include this README file along with the application file.
REQUIREMENTS:
Hot Foot 2.0 requires sys 7.0 or better and a color monitor. It looks best using 8 bit color but will run with 4 bit. Black and white will run but it looks pretty cheesy.
Hot Foot 2.0 has only been tested on a Mac LC due to a shortage of resources. Please send any bug reports or problems to me -- so that they can be fixed in future updates.
NOTE:
Because I've only run Hot Foot on an LC the timing on the animation may be off on faster machines and may run faster than intended. If this is the case please let me know so I that can fix it.
Thank you for your trouble, and I hope you enjoy the game.
