Hipster Whale's brightly polished debut is certainly riding high in free download charts all over the world, but any discomfort Hall and Sum felt was more down to good nature than any nagging sense of guilt. "When it did well, I was like, 'Er, Andy? Are we supposed to 'scale' now?'" Matt Hall When they entered the room, just as Rauser was really working up a head of steam, they couldn't help but wonder: Is he talking about us? Among them were Matt Hall and Andy Sum, the co-creators of Crossy Road, and as close to conquering heroes as Casual Connect had to offer. Was Rauser entirely fair in his assessment? Some would argue the point, but more than a few developers present shifted uncomfortably in their seats. The Binary Family's Thorsten Rauser shook the crowd to attention with an impassioned speech, equal parts warning and lament, at the dwindling respect for ideas in a casual market seemingly intent on starting with the desired revenue and working backwards from there. Next Buzz Lightyear unlocks a toy world, and so on as I realize every film has its own environment to navigate.īetter still, characters unlock at a good rate with only 100 coins needed to get a new one and coins regularly gifted to you… though of course you can pay if you are inpatient or really want a specific character.The best single session of Casual Connect Europe took place in one of its smaller rooms, modestly filled with developers still nursing their morning coffee. My second character is Rapunzel from Entangled, and suddenly the world is completely changed into knights and other medieval items. It is only when I start unlocking more characters that I realize the variety Disney Crossy Road injects. Starting with Mickey Mouse himself, I am treated to the typical road crossing gameplay: trying to hop through busy traffic, work my way around trees, and using logs to cross rivers. Bringing in Disney stars from all manner of movies, each one is a beautifully blocky representation of a familiar face. Where Disney Crossy Road does mix things is with its characters.
It is a look now seen often, but the first game took it to a new level and popularized it in a way few games before it had.
Simple, and a perfect modern mobile take on Atari’s classic arcade game Frogger.ĭisney Crossy Road keeps the original’s isometric blocky style that gives the feel of playing with models made from LEGO.
