Other secrets and curiosities of the Crossy Road universe
Besides the Disney version, the original Crossy Road game possesses an amazing depth in terms of its hidden charactersSome require very specific actions that seem like jokes, but are the only way to obtain them. For example, the Crab It is unlocked by imitating their walk: you must move from side to side repeatedly while playing as an Australian character.
Other curious cases include the Hipster whalewhich appears randomly in rivers; if you manage to jump on it, you'll unlock it upon death. Or the Drop Bearwhich requires you to be attentive to the trees while using an Australian character; if you let the bear fall on you, the character will be yours.
For fans of high-scoring challenges, there are characters like Andy Sum, Ben Weatherall or Matt Hallwhich are unlocked by achieving a very high score (usually 85% or more of your current record) using specific characters such as the Mallard, the Dark Lord, or the Lucky Cat.
There are also missions based on collecting specific objects in the standard version, such as obtaining 50 burgers with Rocky to free Ace, or collect fossils of each type with the paleontologist to obtain Bones. These "treasure hunt" mechanics are what keep the game addictive, since each unlocked character is a trophy of perseverance.
A large number of characters to access, and they won't be easy to unlock, but this shows the level of commitment the Crossy Road development team has had to this major project with Disney. The combination of voxel aesthetics and the nostalgia of animated films creates a highly rewarding experience for the player.
