Crossy Road

The objective of Crossy Road is to move the character through an endless path of static and moving obstacles as far as possible without hitting any hazards. By default, the character is a chicken that must cross a series of busy roads, rivers and active train tracks, but there are hundreds of other characters, and depending on the character the environment around also changes, with the obstacles varying. For example, when playing as the Astronaut, the environment is space and obstacles include asteroids.

In the original mobile version, the player must hop to go forward or swipe the screen in the appropriate direction to move the character horizontally or backwards. Some characters can only be unlocked with cash or in-game currency.

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. The game's free-to-play model was based on the one for Dota 2.

A big influence on the team was the success of the game Flappy Bird. Developer Matt Hall noted that "That was when people really wanted to play high-score chasing games, and they were telling people about it, and there was this cool opportunity." Eventually Hall hit upon combining such a game with Frogger. Other influences included Temple Run, Subway Surfers, Disco Zoo, Skylanders, Tiny Wings and Fez. The game's art style was created by Ben Weatherall.

The game received generally positive reviews with Metacritic giving the game a score of 88, TouchArcade giving the game 5/5 stars, BigBoomBoom.com giving the game 5/5 stars, Gamezebo Gaming giving the game 4.5/5 stars, and Apple N' Apps giving the game a 4/5 overall score. Polygon dubbed the game "brilliant" and compared it as an updated take on Frogger, while Time called the game a mix of Frogger and Flappy Bird.

Crossy Road was a finalist for the Game of the Year Award at the Australian Game Developer Awards 2014. At the 2015 Apple WWDC developer's conference, it was one of the winners of the Apple Design Awards. In 2025, it was nominated for Excellence in Ongoing at the Australian Game Developer Awards.
