Both M1 and Intel CPUs are compatible on MacOS. The recommended MacOS version is 11 (Monterey) or above. The minimum version supported is 10.9, however, there are limitations which mean the custom level functionality is not available on 10.9. Due to the difference in compatibility, there are two downloads; only use the MacOS 10 version if the standard Mac download does not run for you.
The game’s engine (GameMaker Studio 2) only officially supports Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04. As such, Frog Hop only officially supports Ubuntu as well. That said, it should generally work on most Linux distributions, but may require additional steps and workarounds.
The Tiled level editor is also available on MacOS and Linux, so custom levels are fully supported regardless of platform, although you need to install the application manually yourself. (Download from mapeditor.org)
Download the Frog Hop Level Editor zip and unzip it; keep the top level folder named “LevelEditor”. On Linux, place this folder next to the application executable. On MacOS, you can either place it next to the .app or at ~/Library/Application Support/com.tinywarriorgames.froghop/. This alternate path allows you to install the application to /Applications as is typical on MacOS.
Last but not least, Hoppy holidays everyone!
