I hate to be a downer, but there is no way Konami is going to let you do this if they find out about it. You would have to change the name, and even then, probably the character appearance. That said, this looks better than any of the Frogger games I've seen, but it's exactly the sort of thing that they'd put the screws on if they found out it was making money.
If wishes were fishes then we'd all smell like ladies' underwear.
I remember the original two-game release of Frogger Bound, Temple and Dungeons... I don't remember if I downloaded both, but I thought it was cool. It inspired me to make my own Frogger engine, based on this game: http://www.mobygames.com/game/frogger_
I liked that game so much, but on OSs after ME, it didn't play any music.
Well i changed the name to "Frog Bound" in my .mfa file now
lame, but its definitely the easiest way to go, should have thought about it before i registered the domain though, i just used that name for so many years now.. *sniff*
i also noticed on youtube some of the new frogger games have gameplay similar to mine now.. (different traps where you have to learn systems of movement)
most of my traps or more complex though, great fun
Even i made a little "yes!" scream when i finally finished my own last level yesterday and got to my credits
I dont think you will be in much trouble using a frogger in the game. I saw a kliker, a-coders I think who sold Pacman clones without getting in trouble for it. As long as you wont become a milionaire it will be fine.

yes this is a continuation of an old title
i have been working on this under the name "frogger bound 2" but i changed it around a bit, and frogger bound 1 had 2 releases, temple and dungeons.
so to avoid all confusion and issues its now just "frog bound" simple as that
i hope you wait for this game to release rather than looking up the old ones, the best levels from the old games are included here.
this game experience will be better
Honestly I think it's more unique than Frogger, enough that it really would deserve it's own original character/name. Its already changed the setting, it's not crossing a road and a river etc.

I really wouldn't recommend it. I know a girl who sold games she downloads off the Internet at a shopping mall and still hasn't been arrested. And game companies are very trigger happy when they're finding an excuse to why they're losing money.
You could always try and change it from being a frog to something else. Game concepts get sold all the time, just look different. If it was a chicken and called Bound Chicken, I'm certain nobody would touch it

You'd really be suprised, people making homebrew games for consoles or ROM hacks have been issued with "cease and desist" from game publishing/developing company's lawyers over fan games or games that use anything from a game company's intellectual property, name or graphics. And they weren't even commercial projects. I think those are predominantly because of graphics and overall being the same game but a sequel or a port for the system, but it's also happened with names/game concepts.
I think in these cases you are most elligible for a cease and desist if you plan to make money off another company's intellectual property, but even then sometimes they don't like freeware/fan projects.
