Ah. The simple yet addictive game of Crossy Road. Simple name, simple design, simply fun.

Crossy Road is a game where you cross the road while collecting coins. Once you get to one hundred coins, you go to the prize machine to receive a character. If you do something special with the character that is required, you will receive a special character, one that you cannot get from the prize machine. Crossy Road’s world is made of small cubes. Crossy Road has won Apple’s Design Award, and I agree with the results. Many people like this game and think it is addictive and that sometimes less is more, but other people think it is a bit boring, doing the same thing over and over. I asked my friend what she thought and she said, “Crossy Road is okay, but it is just doing the same thing over and over again. I wish that there was more to it.” And many other people agree with her because all you’re really doing is crossing the road and hopping on logs until you fall in the water, run into a train, are caught by the eagle, or have been run over or smashed by a car.

Given that some people really like Crossy Road, I am not going to give this a bad rating. I will give it three and a half stars because people still like this game and the half is because it won the Apple Design Award.
