Year of Gaming Week #21: Crossy Road - The Modern Day Frogger

Crossy Road
- Week #21 -

Think you have what it takes to be PokeCommunity's best gamer? Prove yourself in PC's Year of Gaming Challenges! Each week a new game will be picked to see who has what it takes to get the highest score in a game ranging from old school to current modern classics. The people with the top 3 scores will be given emblems due to their abilities. If you have a recommendation on what we should play next, send me a VM/PM and we'll see what we can do!

Quote:

"The idea of the game is to get as far as possible across the roads, rivers, grass and train tracks without dying. The player plays as a mascot and must swipe the screen in the corresponding direction to move the mascot or tap to go forward. Along the way there will be many obstacles, such as rivers, trees, boulders, cars, trains and sometimes even gravestones. To get past these obstacles the player must go past them at the appropriate moment and path to ensure survival or to use other objects to get across rivers such as logs and lily pads. "

Warning: New Challenger Approaches!

This is El Héroe Oscuro. He's been heralded as the champion of video games. Think you have what it takes to take the title from him? Each week, he will be competing against you for the highest score. What will you get if you beat his score? A raffle ticket that at the end of every 5 week cycle will enter you into a chance to win a $25 Supporter Rank or video game gift card of your choice. The more times you beat him, the more raffle tickets you get and the better chance you have of winning the prize. But don't take him lightly: he's pretty damn good at video games...

Rules

As this is a free mobile game, you can access the game in the App store on your phone by searching for "Crossy Road" - it will be the first match. It doesn't cost a single dime to get so download it.

After your game is officially over, take a screenshot of your score and comment below with said picture. This is how you enter into this challenge.

You have an unlimited amount of tries to get the greatest score. However, only the top 3 scoring members will obtain an emblem.

You have one week to participate in this challenge, meaning the last date to send an entry will be January 10th, 11:59 PM ET.

It's not showing up on the App Store. Is it download only?

So after doing a little bit of research, there's an added step for Android users:

1. Go to the store and download the Amazon App (this is also free.)
2. Download Crossy Road from Amazon App (still free at this point.)

I own an iPhone so I can't actually do this, but that's what it says on the developer's website. It's an added step but it should still work.

I already have the Amazon App Store :D Thanks for the tip~

Finally someone else posts so I can do my new score. ;D

Pendraflare January 4th, 2015 7:03 AM

Hm, this might give me more of an excuse to download another game for my phone.

Can this be done on an iPad, too? If so, i'll give it a shot some time this week.

Yes, the developers stated on their website that it does work for iPads!

Best I've gotten so far.

El Héroe Oscuro January 4th, 2015 10:02 AM

You have no idea how happy and upset I was to get this score; this puts me in the playing field y'all, beat this score if you can!

Pendraflare January 4th, 2015 10:06 AM

Alright, after getting 97, I rounded up my chance to go for greater, and after a handful more tries, this is what I claimed.

(please excuse the large image, this was done on my iPad and it was either that size or really small)
More than I planned for, that's for sure.

Klippy January 4th, 2015 6:26 PM

This should help me a bit.

Are you collecting/unlocking the special characters? Some of them are amazing. There's even a Doge.

How are people getting way over 100, I can barely get past 70...

such hop
very jump


Yes! I have 17 of them so far, they're so cute. :P I haven't unlocked Doge yet but I got to play him in a 'trial run', cracked me up.

In other news, I just passed 200 - a little sad that I only managed to improve my last score by three points, but I'm coming for you guys.


Necrum January 7th, 2015 9:12 PM

I just want a frog hnnnnng

Pendraflare January 8th, 2015 7:52 AM

I had to fight for this score, but this nice boost was worth it.

I don't think anybody will be hi-jacking me out of the Top 3 with this one, so this is as much as i'm going to go for.

Klippy January 8th, 2015 10:45 AM

El Heroe's a bit busy, so I'll just post the most updated scores here for now. I really like this game, beyond the scope of this competition as well. It's just a little fun thing. :>

1. Pendraflare - 324 clucks
2. Klippy - 210 clucks
3. Juno - 201 clucks
4. ❤Hitomi❤ - 116 clucks
El Héroe Oscuro - 105 clucks

Necrum January 8th, 2015 11:53 AM

I miss the Alligators... Also I just discovered that there's a pause button in the top right corner oops

Juno January 8th, 2015 2:41 PM



For some reason I thought Pendra's new score was 380+ so I was really aiming for that, but this puts me at the top for now. ^^

Landscape is great.

Just a head's up, El Heroe will only accept the current score, not the top one. Not sure if you were submitted the 30 or the 276, but thought I'd advise you of his policy. :)

Lord Scalgon January 8th, 2015 6:19 PM

No point of uploading my screenshot of a score of 174, but if I do achieve a score that warrants a top 3 score, then I'll upload that screenshot.

You still get a raffle ticket if you beat Matt!

Pendraflare January 8th, 2015 6:52 PM

Nice try, but I don't think you're jacking this one from me.

If I have to pull myself back into the Top 3 after this, then hopefully it'll be soon enough.

Oh, forgot about that. Either way, I'll post my final result at some point during the lasting hours.

JesteR January 8th, 2015 7:09 PM

Well, I'm gonna continue, even if my phone stopped working. Time to pull out the crappy tablet. Sorry if the future pictures seem a bit deformed.

El Héroe Oscuro January 10th, 2015 12:39 AM

Didn't get a chance till now to update the scores, but here it is now:

1. Pendraflare - 392 clucks
2. Juno - 335 clucks
3. Klippy - 210 clucks
4. Wilhelm - 164 clucks
El Héroe Oscuro - 134 clucks
5. ❤Hitomi❤ - 119 clucks
6. epicassassin1811 - 30 clucks

Believe me when I say I have 134, I have the screenshot on my phone but it's 3:39AM so I'm honestly too tired to post it right now. I'm going to continue working on beating y'all crazy scores so keep it up! Little over 20 hours left in this challenge!

This was the highest I could get so far, it might be my final score considering I'm going to a wedding for the rest day. Nonetheless, try to beat this score if you want a raffle ticket!

Haha sorry bud. Also. Can you do me a favor? Can you update the OP with my new score? I'm having some difficulties doing it from my phone and I think it would help people to see what the current standings look like.

Absolutely!

I'm not sure I can beat the score :'( I got close and lost and I was sad.

Just believe in yourself!

It was my only good run that broke 200; I kept dying around 150 so I really don't think I can beat that score. My heart was actually racing because I knew I had broken 200 but I had absolutely no idea as to if there was anyone who had a 200ish score haha.

Necrum January 10th, 2015 12:51 PM

Ugh it was bad enough when you were 10 above my score -_-

Lord Scalgon January 10th, 2015 4:54 PM

EDIT: New personal best...and maybe 1st place, too.

Juno January 10th, 2015 6:03 PM

Aw, this always happens at the end of the week. D:

So here's a small boost to ensure I at least stay in top three. This emblem's cute. I want it. c:

JesteR January 10th, 2015 7:41 PM

After 5 hours, I have succeeded...

http://i.imgur.com/tYleuBG.jpg

I have to win the one game I can actually play on my tablet.

Lord Scalgon January 10th, 2015 7:51 PM

Bravo. Assuming I don't beat your score, I wouldn't mind taking 2nd place, unless another person actually surpasses my score.

Your score is quite amazing as well. I was actually going to post my score of 396, but then you posted yours soooo...

Pendraflare January 10th, 2015 8:54 PM

Oh wow, I thought for sure I was going to keep the #1 spot, but that 580 really snuck in at the last second and I barely stayed in the top three (I think). Well, guess that worked out alright then!

El Héroe Oscuro January 11th, 2015 8:16 PM

Sorry for the delay, but congratulations to epicassassin1811, Lord Scalgon, and Pendraflare for winning this week's challenge! Furthermore, congratulations to the following for beating my score and winning a raffle ticket in the process; the pulling of the raffle will commence after 3 more YOG challenges.
  • epicassassin1811
  • Lord Scalgon
  • Pendraflare
  • Juno
The Year of Gaming is going to be take a week off and will return on Sunday, January 18th!
