If all that is too boring for you, there’s an entire zoo you can play as that picks random moments to darken the lights, drop the disco ball, and dance to music in the middle of the game. In terms of human characters, there’s a pop star, a basketball player, and a baseball player, among others.

But instead of spitting out cheap plastic rings, this one rewards you with different characters to cross the divergent routes of the world.īesides the original chick-en, you can play as a sheep, lizard, pig, or even a unicorn.

On your generally short-lived journey, you collect coins which buy you chances to use a cute little vending machine, not unlike those you’d find in the back of a Safeway, begging your parents for a quarter from their change to manipulate it for yourself. In the quaint 8-bit plains of Crossy Road, you can help the little fowl traverse across not only roads and highways, but also fields, rivers, and train tracks. No worries, though, since there are plenty of roads for you to cross and escape from it. So, why did the chicken cross the road? In this game, it’s because if you don’t, you’ll get picked up and eaten by an eagle.
