Frog Fractions Walkthrough
Chapter 1: Little Frog, Big Pond
-
Collect the flies & the fruit (between rounds) until you can upgrade to the dragon. This requires having at least the turtle and static cling unlocked, but any other upgrades are optional. You may find yourself taking a typing test at some point, but it's easy.
-
The dragon can fly around the screen, but he can also swim. Dive underwater to find
A huge stash of fruit!
-
Collect a billion fruit, then upgrade the dragon with the warp drive.
-
Fly up into space.
Chapter 2: Blast Off
-
Avoid the asteroids if you like. Technically, you can't lose in this part of the game, but it's more fun to play it properly.
Chapter 3: Warning No Refuge
-
Shoot the tentacles off the boss, then the core when it's available to target.
Chapter 4: Froggy's Day in Court
-
Answer any way you like in the trial; again, it's impossible to lose this segment.
-
Once you conveniently get the max score possible and avoid beign fired into the sun, it's time to get an ID card.
-
Click and drag with the mouse to sign your name.
Chapter 5: Bug Mars on 50 Zorkmids a Day
-
Back outside for more fractions! Dive into the Martian sea this time.
-
Follow the underwater tunnels around, preferably with sound on in order to further your education.
-
Eventually you'll find a spaceship, and its time for a trip out of Bug Mars.
Chapter 6: BlastOff Again (text adventure)

Climb the ladder.
-
Get the rug.

Open the hatch.

Go inside the room behind the hatch.
-
Examine the machine.
-
Get the paper.
-
Get the electrical tape.
-
Press the buttons.
-
Pull the lever.
-
Get the zorkmids.
-
Examine the hole in the wall.

Take the coffee cup.
-
Put the tape on the wire.

Chapter 7: Living the Dream
-
In your human dream, it's impossible to catch the bugs, and you'll be overwhelmed in no time.
-
Unless you're a DDR pro, just mash the arrow keys to win the election.
Chapter 8: The Big Chair
-
The aim here is actually to unlock the final upgrades. You don't need to worry about the porn trading minigame at all - just order your staff to print money each turn, and buy the last upgrades. One of them is a padlock, which you need to buy before you can buy the last upgrade.
-
The final upgrade is a swimming pool for yourself. Great.
Chapter 9: Eyes Open
-
Dive under the surface to watch the credits. You won!
This is the most hilarious game I have played in a very long time. But then, I love absurdist, surreal, and nonsensical humor.
Despite obviously being an intentional parody, the game hits a lot of the right notes towards feeling like a space-alien-produced, misguided attempt to create an educational game featuring ideas from other, non-educational games.
This is exactly how you make a game fun and awesome without making it at all challenging.
