In Hopper, you are a frog sitting on a lily pad and you need to jump to the next lily pad. Using head phones or ear buds, you hear the lily pads move from one side of your head to the other. Each lily pad is represented by a different musical loop. When the lily pad is directly in front of you, tap the phone to jump to the next lily pad.

More information on VoiceOver’s portable preferences can be found on this Apple support page.
