'Hipster Whale has created the kind of casual, single-player mobile game we're known to publish: beautifully made, universally appealing, constantly re-playable,' said Yodo1 founder and CEO Henry Fong.Ĭrossy Road for Google Play Press Materialsįounded in 2014 and based in Australia, Hipster Whale is led by Matt Hall and Andy Sum. Crossy Road's playable characters include not just frogs, rabbits, and (of course) chickens, but an exploding robot, a 'Pew Die Pug', a magic-wielding wizard, and a celebrity whose purse spews money every time she gets splatted. (Players must keep quickly moving forward, lest a watchful eagle pick them off.) Along the way, players can also collect game coins, which they can then use to win a new, playable character through the game's gacha prize machine.

In Crossy Road, players have to hop their character through lanes of busy traffic, past high-speed trains, across rushing rivers on top lily pads and logs, with every badly timed bounce threatening to end the game with a splat. 'It's great to finally see our game in that app store, where it can be enjoyed by tens of millions more players around the world.' 'Our tiny studio has been working with Yodo1's massive publishing team on the Google Play version of Crossy Road pretty much from the moment we started developing the game,' said Matt Hall of Hipster Whale.

Now, users of Google Play (the world's largest Android app store) can finally join in on the fast-paced, traffic-dodging, splat-tastic fun - and exclusive to Google Play, also unlock the beloved Android mascot as a playable character. The iOS version of the whimsical 'endless hopper' has ranked among Apple's top ten games since its November 20 release, and has been widely acclaimed by game reviewers for its intuitive gameplay, retro graphics, and quirky humor.
