UPDATE ITS WORKING!!
Thank you for all your comments. I have fixed the game and also included Microsoft XNA with the game. (Its a 6mb install file)
-------------------------------------------------
The year is 1985..
On route 69 there has been a head on collision between two trucks.
One containing state of the art arcade games such as frogger and pacman, pong clones and the other containing toxic waste.
The toxic waste has caused the arcade world to connect with the real world.
The roads are overrun with Space Invaders, pong has overtaken a basketball court and Pacman has found a hedge maze in the local park!!
Can you escape to the other-side of the river before the military comes to clean up this mess??
Replay the game for harder difficulties.
-----------------------------------------------
Windows - Unzip and install XNA if you don't have it already (you probably do have it installed). Then run the Arcade.exe to start the game.

Version history
v1 Crashed without Windows Games Live installed

Crashing on launch for me, on Windows 7. No error, just an application has stopped working message.
@5T4MP5 do you have xna 4 installed? Can you try to open Arcade.ccgame if you have xna?
Fun game! Great idea to connect the 'arcade world' with the real world ;)
Unable to open it in windows 7... XNA is installed and working properly
lol this was awesome, I loved it. I managed to complete all the levels (It started over so assumed I was done)
A brilliant idea!!
The controls and collisions were a bit unforgiving, but I really liked it, and wonderful use of the theme! Great job!
@Mekuri Thanks for playing :D
It restarts and gets a bit harder, theres an ending screen if you can complete it on hard, but the pong level is brutal on hard mode :)
If the games not running and you have xna installed, please contact me by twitter @gladers so we can diagnose and get the game running on as many pcs as possible.
Good game, but very repetitive. Would love a little bit of variation in an updated version
@Vytheros if theres enough interest in extending the game I will, remember frogger only had 1 screen, this has 4 :)
Hehe, poor frogs! Mixing up so many gameplay elements in one weekend was surely challenging. Gave you 5 points on Innovation and Humor :)
Very cool! We actually considered doing a frogger game that was connected to a racing game so the cars could run over the frogs.
Overall liked the idea, but the controls are really difficult:)
Not too innovative and quite short. And collision detection on pong level is so unfair it makes me cry. But it fits the theme very well!
*Hint the left bat aims the ball right at you. The right bat reflects it. The easiest way to dodge the ball is going downwards. Make the run from the right of the screen.
See you tube video if you are still stuck. Anyone else need the pong round made more simple? Theres like 5 different ways to complete it.
Definition of Innovative - Introduce (something new).
To the world of Frogger, theres a lot of new stuff :)
Nice. If this was an arcade cabinet you would have made all your money on the pacman level.
I liked the way you interpretated the theme 'connected worlds', but besides that, the game is not bery original... Good graphics.
Thanks for showing this at the Frankfurt Independent Game Dev Meetup
The game looks really hard. I really like the idea of mixing different arcade games. I know some of these assets I think ;) Great entry - good job
Cool way to fit the theme. Fun and polished game, and I like how you can keep walking up to increase the difficulty. I got stuck on the insane difficulty though.
lot's done in the short time you had, good connection between games. well done!
Great job, neat idea. I liked the music too! I got stuck on the pacman level though, could never sneak around those damn ghosts. I wouldn't have a chance on the "hard" mode :P
Neat concept. Impressed you were able to create all those different styles so quickly!
Nice interpretation of the theme, and it is impressive that everything work! That said, the gameplay is a little stiff, specially on the "PACMAN" level. Don't know if that was intentional, but it didn't feel natural.
By the way, I see that you tried running my game last week, but it crashed. I've detected and fixed some memory errors, so you're welcome to come back and try it again! Thanks :)
Nice game!Good job.but only a question: Why controll of menu was with arrows and game with WASD ??

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Frogger clone with levels from pong, space invaders and pacman.
