Welcome to ClapTraps!

Help our hero, Dave Dunce, save the froggies from the deadly traps and bring them to his Frogs Running On Green Grass farm.

All levels can be completed without losing any lives. If you do run out of lives, you can start on the same level you died on. You can also restart a level at any time by quitting.
