THEN HOP
ON THE KERB

On a laptop: hold ← or → to look · ↑ or space to go · Enter to start
You are at the kerb, and you can only see what is in front of you. Hold ◀ or ▶ to look along the road, then press GO to hop across one lane at a time — as far as you can in 90 seconds, before the third honk.
GO hops you forward one row. A kerb, the walkway between the shops and the green strip in the middle of a wide road are safe. A lane is not.
Hold ◀ or ▶ and your head turns, so you are looking along the road. Let go and you face forward again. You can slide your thumb straight from one to the other, and GO works while you are looking.
The arrows on the road point the way that lane's traffic goes. So it comes from the other end of the arrow. On most roads the near lanes come from your right and the far ones from your left — but not on every road.
Step in front of something and it stops dead and honks. Nothing touches you. You are put back on the last safe row, and it costs you one horn and 3 seconds.
You have 90 seconds, and the clock starts on your first hop. A go ends when the time runs out, or at the third honk. Your score is how many rows you crossed.
Not everything on the road is a car. A truck is slow and long. A motorbike is small and fast. And one thing in three is something silly.
Look Both Ways is Frogger, the arcade game from 1981, seen from where the frog stands.
