Crossy Road gets party-mode multiplayer on Android

Why did the chicken cross the road? Because all his friends were doing it, and the chicken is susceptible to peer pressure.

Crossy Road on Android now has a multiplayer mode that enables up to four people to compete in the Frogger-style arcade action. Like the standard Crossy Road, players need to progress as far as possible to get a high score, but the multiplayer forces you to deal with three of your friends at the same time. Developer Hipster Whale found a ton of early success with Crossy Road, and now new content releases like today’s content update are helping the studio keep it relevant for a mobile-gaming industry worth $34.8 billion.
