What did come first? The chicken or the egg? You can grab Crossy Road for free right here. It’s a satisfying way to add themes, and it’ll be interesting to see if today’s additions will bring any of these fun new twists. For example, switching to the penguin adds snow to your surroundings. Part of Crossy Road’s considerable charm is that playing as some of the avatars cause fun environmental effects. The other seven characters are shrouded in silhouetted mystery. Nine of those are native Australian animals such as a kangaroo, echidna (Australia’s answer to the porcupine), and platypus (Australia’s answer to a beaver crossed with a duck). In a patriotic update that hit just this morning, developer Hipster Whale have made sixteen new characters available. Players of a certain vintage will get a truly satisfying buzz from eventually unlocking (or buying) a frog to replace your chicken. Although you cleverly start out as a chicken and not a frog, there are still roads and rivers to cross one step at a time, with the inescapable modern touch of collecting coins to unlock new playable characters. The 21st century’s answer to the arcade classic Frogger remains surprisingly unchanged.
The knock-on effect is that of bumping what was formerly the second most important question - funnily enough, also involving a chicken - up to number one spot, and Crossy Road has us butting our heads against that question mark over and over (and over) again. Thanks Spierig brothers for helping to shorten my bucket list. The most important question - that of the chicken and the egg - has recently been answered, thanks to the Spierig brothers’ time travelling head trip film, Predestination. Well, maybe it’s the second most important question of all time.
