Like most endless runners, Crossy Road is insanely addictive. One example is this Doge character that you can see here. There are lots of inside jokes, references, and memes associated with some of the characters, which them bit more fun. Some of them are silent while most make some sort of sound. What differs is their character animation, and the animation for when they get run over. The different characters don’t influence the gameplay and they all move the same way. You can also use in-app purchasing to unlock the rest, but it’s a dollar each so you’d be spending quite a lot to unlock all of them. The game starts off with a chicken (from the ‘Why did the chicken cross the road?’ fame) and more characters are made available as you play. The farther you go the higher you score.Īlso unlike Frogger, Crossy Road has more than one character. Unlike Frogger, which ended when you reached the other side of the screen, Crossy Road is endless, so you can keep moving forward and for every step forward you get a point. The screen keeps moving forward so if you stay still and don’t move along you’re dead. The rivers are also tricky, as you have to navigate the rows of moving logs to get past them and if you fall into the water you’re dead. The train track is relatively easier as the trains don’t come in without a warning but when they do it’s impossible to dodge due to their speed so it’s best to stay clear of the track when you hear them coming. The cars and trucks keep moving from left to right and are hard to dodge. To go left, right, or back you swipe in that particular direction. Occasionally you will also come across railway tracks and rivers with floating logs. GameplayĪs mentioned before, you cross the streets in this game to get to the other side. The game has proven to be exceptionally addictive and it was hard to put it down to write this, so let’s get on with it. The further you go without dying, the higher the score. The game basically involves crossing busy streets and avoiding being run over by the vehicles, or jumping into the water. The game is based on the 8-bit arcade game Frogger but instead of ending on the other side of the screen Crossy Road is infinitely long.
