HogFrog is a simple, one-touch game, where the player takes on the role of Tore, a young frog who is in love with the pond mafia boss' daughter, Rosina. Her father doesn't like Tore, as he never has any mosquitoes, and down on the pond, your worth is measured by how many of the little critters you have.

The player takes control of Tore, and through various levels in different ponds, must use his tongue to catch all the mosquitoes. Even though players have multiple chances on each level, each one can be completed by just one flick of the tongue, gaining the maximum points available.

The game comes with four different styles of pond, each containing ten levels. As the player progresses through the levels they will face various challenges, such as turtles that make Tore's tongue rebound, smaller poisonous frogs that stop Tore's tongue dead, and rotating logs which can be used to the players advantage as well as cause hindrance.
