Pros & Cons:
Pros
- Fun, addictive and challenging puzzle game
Cons
- App continues to run in the background when you exit
- You cannot go back to previous levels
- Very small gripe, however, graphics look a little fuzzy on screens with higher resolution
Features:
Clever Toad is a cool game built on Adobe AIR where your goal is to click on the lotus leaf to make the toad jump to that leaf. The leaf will then disappear. Continue jumping one by one, until there are no leaves remaining to win that level. Note: Toad cannot jump backwards or diagonal. Toad can only jump Left, Right, or Forwards.
Gripe Alert: The idea of the game is great but user experience is flawed. The app continues to run in the background when you press home to exit… a huge “no-no”! For example, say the music is playing and you press the Home button, it continues to play forcing you to use an task killer app to truly close it. Without killing the app the only workaround to stop it is to turn off the game sound and exit. 
Also you cannot choose previous levels, only forward progression.

Clever Toad Splash Screen
Fun Factor & Addictive:
Clever Toad holds its weight in this department. Good time-waster and desirable for casual gamers.
Graphics:
As mentioned my critical eye saw the bitmap degradation on WVGA+ screens.
Accelerometer, Vibration & Sound:
The game has background music which can be toggled.
