So we had this skin idea – different character ideas – that didn't change the game at all, so we had lots of different influences in it for this. Andy: And I've been playing a lot of Dota 2, which has purchases in it, and they're only cosmetic, and don't affect the game at all. From Hipster Whale, the makers of the original Crossy Road with over 120,000,000 downloads, and Disney comes Disney Crossy Roadan all-new take on the 8-bit endless adventure to cross the road. Matt: We knew video ads would work as long as people wanted to click them for some reason, so we had that nugget there. In frogger you are trying to reach a cave, while in Crossy Road, it is like a. If you've played Disco Zoo, and seeing the ads work well in that – we actually spoke with the guys there, and it was something we were thinking about too. This game is like the old arcade game Frogger, but the distance is endless.

The best Crossy Road alternatives are: Mr Mood, Toilet Run, Quickflush, Shooty Skies, Disney Crossy.

How were we going to monetise it though? Andy: We did it all in one session, had this big brainstorming session and came up with all these ideas. Weve listed the top 7 alternatives to Crossy Road. We originally were looking at a publisher, but when we told them about the idea, they were like 'ehhh, it sounds okay.' So that kind of threw us a bit, but we decided to self-publish it. The game was going to be a lot simpler originally. The free-to-play model (watching optional ads to earn coins, which you can use to buy characters, or you can purchase them with real cash) you guys have used is a bit different to other games we've seen, did you have it in mind from the start? Matt: It wasn't really from day one. Crossy Road is a 2014 Mobile Phone Game available for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, tvOS, and Windows 8.1 and 10, created by Indie Game studio Hipster Whale.
