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. The objective of Crossy Road is to move a character through an endless path of static and moving obstacles as far as possible without dying. It was developed and published by Australian video game developer Hipster Whale, with the name and concept of the game playing on the age-old joke/ anti-joke " Why did the chicken cross the road?" The game has also been described as endless runner version of Frogger. Players can play co-cooperatively or competitively, as characters can push each other to their deaths, but players will also re-spawn if their partner makes it far enough on their own.Crossy Road is an arcade video game released on 20 November 2014.

Two players can cross roads endlessly on the big screen, with one player using the Apple TV remote while the other plays on their phone. With the release of the 4th generation Apple TV, developers Hipster Whale added multiplayer to the TV version of Crossy Road. The different characters will sometimes change certain aspects of the visual look of the game, but do not affect the gameplay. The game contains multiple characters that can be earned by using in-game coins to get a random one, or they can be purchased for $0.99 individually. Swiping to the left, right, or back will move the character in that direction. Each tap of the screen will make the character jump one square ahead.

The gameplay is similar to that of Frogger in which players hop across roads, fields, rivers, and more.

In Crossy Road the goal of the game is to get as far as possible without dying. Crossy Road is a retro style endless runner developed by Hipster Whale and published by Hipster Whale (iOS) and Yodo1 Games (Android, Windows 8, Windows Phone.) Gameplay
