The Crossy Road Edition lets players explore a platforming level inspired by the original Crossy Road (2014), collecting facts about the game along the way.

Crossy Road Original (2014)

Crossy Road (2014) was developed by Matt Hall, Andy Sum, and Ben Weatherall in 12 weeks. Players need lightning-fast reflexes and non-stop movement as they traverse basic, procedurally generated landscapes. Dodging cars, trains and collecting coins to buy new character skins, this arcade hopper is humble yet addictive.
