About Crossy Dash
It is a 3D isometric arcade game with no finish line, so a run lasts exactly as long as the chicken does.
The catch is that you can't stand still. Each run is about survival on two fronts, because the screen slowly creeps forward behind you and crushes the chicken if it gets too close. You get a moment to think, but never a long one.

Cars and trains crush the chicken on contact, and warning signs pop up when something fast is about to come through. Rivers have to be crossed by hopping onto moving logs, and a missed jump drops the chicken into the water. Hopping off the edge of the road ends the run too.
Coins show up in different spots along the way, and you spend them to unlock other animals that also want to cross the road. Collecting enough to unlock every animal is the main goal, and that slow coin hunt is the addictive part. The trouble is that coins often sit right where it is least safe to stand.
The world has a rounded, smooth look. Every run starts with the chicken in a safe area before the first lane of traffic.
Quick summary
- You start in a safe area and hop forward into the first road.
- The screen follows you, so you have to keep moving across roads, train tracks and rivers.
- Coins along the way are saved up and spent on new animals.
- The run ends when the chicken is hit, falls in the water, hops off the road or gets caught by the screen.
Key features
- A fun 3D isometric take on the chicken crossing the road.
- Runs never end on their own, only when the chicken gets caught.
- Cars and trains are instant danger, and warning signs flag the fast ones.
- Rivers are crossed by hopping along moving logs.
- Coins unlock other animals to play as.
Tips & tricks
- When a warning sign appears, hold off on that lane until the danger has passed.
- Wait for the logs to line up before you hop onto a river.
- Skip a coin if grabbing it would leave you standing in a bad spot.
- Use the sideways and backward hops to dodge, but don't drift back so far that the screen catches you.
