Crossy Road Rush Launches on Apple Arcade Nov. 5

Hipster Whale’s Crossy Road spinoff launches on Apple Arcade Nov. 5, replacing the original’s puzzle-platforming gameplay with an endless runner featuring 50 handcrafted levels.

Hipster Whale will release Crossy Road Rush on Apple Arcade on Nov. 5. The game shifts the series from its original isometric puzzle-platforming format to an endless runner with obstacle-filled courses.

Players will avoid hazards, dodge collisions and race opponents as the courses become more difficult. The game’s adventure mode includes 50 handcrafted levels.

A daily survival mode will provide repeatable runs and global leaderboards. Players can compare their scores with other users through the rankings.

Crossy Road Rush keeps the series’ low-poly graphics, bright colors and animal characters. It will support local co-op and online multiplayer.

Crossy Road began as a game influenced by Frogger and Flappy Bird before developing its own characters and gameplay. Crossy Road Rush uses the series’ established visual style in a faster format.
