If you enjoy simple mobile games that you can play anywhere, Crossy Road is an absolute masterpiece of casual entertainment. The premise answers the age-old joke about why the chicken crossed the road by letting you guide the animal yourself. You hop through a colorful world made entirely of 3D pixel blocks that look like retro toys. The controls are incredibly intuitive because you just tap the screen to move forward or swipe sideways to dodge hazards. However, the environment is a total nightmare of heavy traffic, speeding locomotives, and fast-flowing rivers filled with moving logs. You must time your movements perfectly to slip through small gaps between roaring sports cars. The game keeps you on your toes because you cannot stay still for too long. If you hesitate, a giant predatory eagle swoops down from the sky and carries your character away instantly. It is a wonderfully fun experience that blends quick reflexes with charming humor.
