On iPhone, the on-screen controls are so simple that they work remarkably well: holding down your left thumb moves your character left and right, while tapping with your right thumb jumps. Fear not – controls are a complete non-issue here. If you’re high on the Nintendo nostalgia, there are even stages with barrels to shoot out of, DKC-style.Īnyone who’s played a traditional platforming game on a touch device will likely be concerned about Crossy’s control scheme. Gameplay feels much like a Super Mario Bros.-style platformer, but with characters like Unihorse and Mallard replacing the mustached plumbers. Think less “crossing the road” and more “climbing an endless tower, one micro-level at a time.” But don’t let the word ‘sequel’ mislead you – Crossy Road Castle offers an entirely different gaming experience than its predecessor.

Anti-gravity rainbows, cute animal characters, prize machines, co-operative play, and endless tower platforming: if this all sounds like the perfect diversion during a long stay indoors, you’re absolutely right.Ĭrossy Road Castle is a long-awaited sequel to the original Crossy Road and one of the newest Apple Arcade titles.
