Crossy Road is an arcadevideo game released on 20 November 2014. It was developed and published by Hipster Whale, with the name and concept of the game playing on the age old joke 'Why did the chicken cross the road?'[2] The game has been described as 'endlessFrogger.'[3][4][5]

Gameplay[edit]

Gameplay

The objective of Crossy Road is to cross an endless highway or series of roads and avoid obstacles as far as possible without dying. The player plays as a chosen character and must tap to go forward or swipe the screen in the appropriate direction to move the character horizontally. The game consists of an endless series of obstacles in a set path, such as rivers, cars and trains. The player must time movements correctly in order to pass these obstacles without dying. For example, in the instance of a river, the player must cross the river using floating logs, without landing in the water. If the player takes too much time crossing an obstacle, or goes idle, a bald eagle will snatch the character, resulting in the game's end. Every forward movement will earn one point, with every fifty points sounded out by an effect. Furthermore, there are coins scattered across the environment that can be used to make new characters playable.

The current iOS version of Crossy Road contains 272 characters, including the default, Chicken. Of those, 204 characters are unlockable through coins (the “prize machine”) and 46 are 'secret characters'. Another 12 characters are only unlocked with green “tokens” similar to coins except that they can only be gained by watching ads or getting in the top ten leaderboard for daily challenges. Currently, there are three characters, the Piggy Bank, Bashy Beaver, and the Slippy Penguin, that can only be unlocked with cash or 10,000 coins. Future updates may invalidate this number, as new characters are added often. In addition, the Android version includes Android Robot, based on the operating system's Android logo. Other characters include Doge, Archie, Dark Lord, and #thedress, a female character wearing the dress of the same name. Various popular culture references and games are also included, such as Forget-Me-Not and 'Emo Goose' voiced by Phil Lester.

The player is able to collect coins; an in-game currency, characterised by its squarish shape and red C in its middle. These are obtained in-game by collection during gameplay, watching advertisements, completing tasks, collecting a free gift given every few real-time hours, and using legal currency to buy them in various amounts. Coins are counted the top right corner of the screen. One hundred coins can be used for a chance at a new character from a lottery machine.[6] If the player owns the Piggy Bank mascot, red coins worth five coins each are added to the game, and coins received from free gifts or watching ads are doubled.

Development[edit]

Initially the developers planned to spend only six weeks developing the game, but afterwards realized the game's potential and dedicated another six weeks to completing it.[7] The game's free-to-play model was based on the one for Dota 2.[8] According to developer Matt Hall, Crossy Road drew inspiration from Frogger, Temple Run, Subway Surfers, Disco Zoo, Flappy Bird, Skylanders, Tiny Wings and Fez.[9] The game's art style was created by Ben Weatherall.[10]

Reception[edit]

The game was a finalist for the Game of the Year Award 2014 for the Australian Game Developer Awards.[11] It received generally positive reviews with Metacritic giving the game a score of 88,[12] TouchArcade giving the game 5/5 stars,[6] BigBoomBoom.com giving the game 5/5 stars,[13]Gamezebo Gaming giving the game 4.5/5 stars,[14] and Apple N' Apps giving the game a 4/5 overall score.[15]Polygon dubbed the game 'brilliant' and compared it as an updated take on Frogger,[3] while TIME called the game a mix of Frogger and Flappy Bird.[16] At the 2015 Apple WWDC developer's conference Crossy Road was one of the winners of the 2015 Apple Design Awards.[17]

I get to sing for two tracks thereI've been really flattered to work with this circle as I've been following them for quite a while now.This project also pushed me to sing a bit more, so I'm even more grateful! And needless to say, I'm incredibly satisfied with the final result! Or perhaps a new one has already started wherever you are.This upload is a bit different from usual, the reason being.!!!!!!The wonderful Milky invited me to sing for Norowareta Night's new Touhou Arrangement Album, 'Million Stars'! Sieudiver nailed the arrangement while Amen made super sweet lyrics that flow quite well too Really, everyone did such a great job.Thank you so so much for this opportunity once again!!!
