Crossy Road is a game that relies on your sense of timing. You must navigate a character across a world that is always moving. You tap to hop forward across lanes of traffic. The roads are filled with cars that move at different speeds. You must study the rhythm of the vehicles to find an opening. Do not rush into a lane without a clear plan. If you stay still for too long you will face the eagle. This makes the game feel very urgent and intense. The world is built randomly as you move along. You will never face the same setup twice in your runs.
The pixel art style is clean and very inviting to look at. You will enjoy the sounds of the engines and the chirping of birds. It is a perfect game for a few minutes of play. You will find that you cannot play just one round. You will always want to try to beat your last best distance. Keep your fingers ready for the next hop. It is a simple concept that provides hours of fun.
