What it's like

Frogs, crates and firecrackers on a grass island. Drop a cracker and its blast runs down the lanes until it hits a stone. Blow up crates for power-ups, and set crackers off in chains.

Blown up? You come back as a ghost and push crackers at the frogs still hopping. Take too long and the island sinks from the edges in. Bots make up the numbers to four frogs, so you can play alone.

How to play

Hop the lanes
The stick hops your frog along the lanes between the stone walls.
Drop a cracker
The big button drops a firecracker. Its blast runs along the row and the column and stops at stones.
Tongue and spit
The other button lashes your tongue to snag a power-up or daze a frog. Next to a cracker it gulps it and spits it three squares on.
Haunt the pond
Out of the round? Your ghost floats over everything, and Boo pushes a cracker at the living.
First to 3 rounds
The last frog hopping takes the round. The first to 3 rounds wins the match.

Streamer mode

Chat cheers

Your viewers get one big Cheer button on their phones. The more of them tap, the fuller the meter on your stream, then confetti. Kaboom Pond plays the same with or without them.
