Crossy Road

Crossy Road is an endless arcade game in which your task is as simple as it is insane: your character has to cross an eternal world of roads, rivers, train tracks, and forests without being flattened, drowning, or crushed by the dangers on the way. You begin as a gallant little chicken, that is, a real chicken attempting to cross the road, but the world opens up so fast when you begin opening new characters. The longer the distance that you leap, the greater the score. But it is not as easy as it seems to live even a few dozen steps. Traffic is congested, trains without notice, logs flying around haphazardly, and when you stand too long, a huge eagle comes down and snaps at you. The pressure is real!

How to Play Crossy Road

The objective sounds quite simple, as well: continue the hopping and never die. However, all environments pose risks, and it is up to time when you can jump, and this is what makes the challenge.

Controls

• Arrow Keys – Move in any direction (up, down, left, right)
• Spacebar / Mouse Click – Confirm actions or restart
• One point = one step forward. No complicated combos, just pure timing and instinct.

Pro Tip: Never be afraid to reverse in case of traffic jam - occasionally, the only thing that will save your life is to reverse in order to get a moment off.

Win Money and Character Unlocks.

The coins appear as you play the game randomly, and you can use them to get new characters in the in-game prize machine. Featuring hundreds of eccentric characters, they make their own mini-goal to gather.

Some popular picks include:

• Chicken – The original road-crossing superstar
• Mallard – A duck with charm
• Cow – Perfect for farm-themed maps
• Wizard – Sparkly visual effects and magical flair
• Zombie – Turns the world into a spooky wasteland

Each character comes with its own theme or visual twist, keeping every run fresh and fun.

Obstacles You’ll Face

Crossy Road throws a mix of hazards your way:

• Highways: Cars, trucks, vans — if it moves, it can crush you.
• Train Tracks: Trains appear with almost no warning except for a brief bell sound, so pay attention.
• Rivers: Jump between logs or platforms to avoid falling in.
• Grasslands: Safe at first glance, but trees can hide obstacles and block your view.

As you survive longer, everything speeds up and patterns become more unpredictable, making each run more intense than the last.

Unique Environments & Themes

Crossy Road is more than a single looping road each character can transport you into a different themed world. One moment you’re hopping through a busy modern city, and the next you’re in:

• Calm farmland
• Snowy mountains
• Neon-lit futuristic highways
• Haunted graveyards
• Classic countryside paths

Every theme has its own personality, soundtrack, and hazards.
