3. About the game
The game idea came from the joke “why did the

endless Frogger. The aim of the game is to get as
far across the road as possible as more traffic
and obstacles appear the further you get.
4. Development
Hipster whale is co-owned by Andy
Sum, Matt Hall, and Ben Weatherall.
Initially the developers planned to
spend only six weeks developing the

game's potential and spent another six
weeks to completing it. It drew
inspiration from Frogger and Temple
Run.
