Every week, we bring you an app that\u2019ll make your life surprisingly easy. Unfortunately, we\u2019ve spent so much time playing the subject of this week\u2019s post (especially with a bunch of refurbished phones<\/a> we get to test out!) that we\u2019re going to have to write about that instead.<\/p>\n

So, here\u2019s Crossy Road<\/i>, a game that\u2019ll make…erm, relaxing easier?<\/p>\n

\n

<\/h4>\n

What is it? <\/b><\/h4>\n

Crossy Road<\/i> is a 3D update of Frogger.<\/i> Your objective is to safely maneuver your character (there\u2019s quite a few to choose from, including a chicken, a pig and a Wizard) across a busy road (and the odd lake). Each bit of road crossed gives you a point, with the goal being to score as many points as possible.<\/p>\n

Eventually, as you try and beat your last high score, Crossy Road<\/i> will become your life. Now, if you\u2019ll excuse us, we\u2019ve got a score to beat\u201d\u00a6<\/p>\n

\n

<\/h4>\n

Why is it surprisingly easy? <\/b><\/h4>\n

Crossy Road<\/i> is surprisingly easy because you only have to tap to move and occasionally swipe left and right. It gets pretty hard as your score increases, though.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/h4>\n

The best bit <\/b><\/h4>\n

All of it. We haven\u2019t been this addicted to a mobile game since Angry Birds<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/h4>\n

The downside<\/h4>\n

Your dedication to Crossy Road<\/i> may end up costing you your spouse, children and job. But at least you\u2019ll still have Crossy Road<\/i>.<\/p>\n
