HopJam - Support
A frog, an endless river, and no fine print.
Hop down the river and stay on the lillypads. Flies come to you — your tongue reaches one lane either side, so you don't have to be directly underneath one, but you can't reach two pads across.
How do I unlock the other frogs?
Each one needs both a score and a number of flies — the Shop shows exactly what's still missing. Flies are the currency and they carry over between runs, so nothing is ever wasted.
What is the golden fly?
A fly made of gold that turns up roughly once in a thousand rows. Catch one and the lilypad under that frog on the menu turns gold. Catch one with every ordinary frog and the Golden frog unlocks — the only one you can't buy. Be warned: once two frogs have found one, the odds drop to one in ten thousand. It's meant to take a while.
Why does the music keep changing?
Every frog rides his own record — a roots one-drop, a rocksteady bounce, a slow dub, a steppers groove, and something brighter for the Golden frog. Switching frogs switches the track. Each one also dances to his own tempo on the menu.
The double jump won't fire.
It needs the bar at the bottom to be full — three clean landings — and it has to be a genuine double tap, both taps inside about a third of a second. A slow second tap reads as an ordinary jump instead, on purpose, so you can't spend a charged bar by accident.
I lost my progress.
Your scores and frogs live in a save file on the device itself — nothing is stored on a server, because HopJam has no accounts and no internet connection at all. Deleting the app deletes the save, and it can't be recovered or moved to another phone. That's the trade for collecting nothing about you.
Can I turn the music off?
Settings, from the main menu. Music and sound effects toggle separately, and Hard Mode is there too if the river is being too kind to you.
Does HopJam collect any data?
No. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking, and no networking code of any kind — it runs identically in aeroplane mode. See the privacy policy for the long version.
Found a bug, or something feels wrong?
Tell me what you were doing when it happened, which frog you were riding, and what phone you're on. That's usually enough to find it.
HopJam — Privacy Policy
Last updated 31 August 2026
The short version
HopJam collects nothing. It has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no internet connection. Your high score sits in a file on your own device and goes nowhere else.
Who this is from
HopJam is made by Kale Ephraims, an individual developer. This policy covers the HopJam mobile game on the App Store and Google Play.
What is collected
Nothing. HopJam does not gather, transmit, sell or share any personal information. Specifically, it does not collect:
your name, email address or any account details — there are no accounts
your location
your contacts, photos, camera, microphone or files
advertising identifiers, device identifiers or any other tracking ID
analytics, usage statistics or crash reports
What is stored on your device
HopJam saves a small file on your phone so your progress survives closing the game. It contains only:
your best score and total flies caught
which frogs you have unlocked and which one you are using
which frogs have caught the golden fly
your sound, music and hard-mode settings
That file never leaves your device. It is not backed up to any server, is not readable by anyone else, and is deleted along with the game if you uninstall it.
Internet and permissions
HopJam has no networking code of any kind. It works identically in aeroplane mode. It requests no Android permissions and asks for no iOS privacy permissions.
Advertising and third parties
HopJam contains no advertising, no in-app purchases and no third-party software development kits. No data is shared with anyone, because none is collected.
Apple and Google collect their own information when you download or update any app, entirely separately from HopJam and outside my control. That is covered by Apple's privacy policy (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/) and Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).
Children
HopJam is suitable for all ages and rated accordingly. Because it collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children either. It contains no advertising, no external links and no way to communicate with other players.
Your rights
Rights to access, correct, export or erase personal data — under the GDPR, the CCPA or any similar law — do not arise here, as there is no personal data to act on. To remove the local save file, delete the app.
Changes
If HopJam ever changes in a way that affects this, the policy will be updated here and the date at the top will change. If a future version were ever to collect anything, it would say so plainly and ask first.
