Crossy Road

Crossy Road is an arcade game inspired by the classic Frogger where you have to try to guide an animal across a series of streets full of traffic and other dangers.

Gameplay in Crossy Road is very simple: tap the screen and your cute little animal will make a jump ahead, and slide your finger to one side or the other to move him sideways. Your aim is to try to get as far as you can, avoiding cars, trucks, and trains that pass on the highways.

Along the way you'll not only find dangers, but also, here and there, coins you can use to buy new animals to take across the roads. They don't any have particular special abilities, but some of them do look quite cool.

One of Crossy Road's strong points, in fact, is its charming graphic quality. With a minimalistic and polygon-like style, the game presents an aesthetic midway between Frogger and Minecraft.

Crossy Road is a reinvention of the classic Frogger that adds a new layer to Konami's 1981 hit, and in doing so manages to offer a fresh and fun experience that's perfectly adapted to touch screens.

Crossy Road is an endless arcade hopper video game developed and published by Hipster Whale. The core gameplay revolves around navigating a chicken (or one of the many unlockable characters) across a series of increasingly challenging obstacles, primarily roads filled with speeding vehicles, rivers with floating logs, and train tracks. The player controls their character with simple tap-to-move-forward and swipe-to-move-sideways controls. The objective is to travel as far as possible without getting hit by a car, falling into the water, or being caught by an eagle that appears if the player remains idle for too long.

The game's appeal lies in its simple yet addictive gameplay loop, vibrant voxel-based graphics, and a wide variety of unlockable characters, each with their own unique visual style and some even with different environmental effects. These characters are obtained through in-game currency (coins) earned by playing or through optional in-app purchases. While the game is free-to-play, it is designed to be fair, allowing players to unlock characters primarily through skillful play and accumulating coins. The game features daily challenges and special event characters, providing ongoing reasons for players to return. Crossy Road's accessibility, charming aesthetic, and challenging gameplay have contributed to its widespread popularity across mobile platforms.
