Despite the “relatively” lower revenue when compared to the game’s success, Hipster Whale is happy that it decided to respect its players and not to imitate other companies’ practices.Ĭrossy Road continues to add new characters (its most recent addition were some fun British and Irish characters), and some recent tweets by Hipster Whale artist Ben Weatherall are pointing to more characters coming soon. Vietgame.asia – Apparently Crossy Road can be successful even when the cars drive on the other side of the road because according to a new report by research firm App Annie, Hipster Whale’s take on Frogger had more active players in the UK during the first quarter of 2015 than Candy Crush Soda Saga and Clash of Clans.However, don’t take that to mean that Crossy Road can’t put money in the safe fast enough the game might be quite popular still (it has been downloaded over 70 million times worldwide), but as co-founder Matt Hall said at the GDC conference in March, Crossy Road isn’t making anywhere near the money that other popular F2P games are making mainly due to its monetization practices. Still, while the various playable characters add some visual and audio variety, they don’t actually help you make it upfield any easier - so you can have just as much fun with Crossy Road if you don’t pump any money into it at all.But “Crossy Road” isn’t making anywhere near the money that other popular F2P games are making mainly due to its monetization practices. The prompts to watch those ads can be a little annoying, and I’d gladly pay a dollar or two for an ad-free version of the game.
Still, Crossy Road isn’t totally free it’s “freemium.” You can get more gold coins to unlock new characters by watching in-app video adds or straight-up paying for them with your hard-earned dollars. It’s the sort of game that, given a little love from its developers in the form of new features down the road, could remain a constant presence on my iPhone for a long time coming. I downloaded it on a whim before the weekend, and ever since have found myself coming back to it every time I had a free second on the subway or couch. Crossy Road’s simplicity, along with its colorful visual palette and quirky soundboard, gives it the same appeal as Flappy Bird: You can play it for two minutes or two hours and love every second of it, either way.
