Crossy Dots is a minimalist arcade-style video game developed and published by Hipster Whale in 2022. With its simple yet addictive gameplay, it has quickly become popular especially among casual gaming fans.
In Crossy Dots, the player guides a small dot across a series of grid-based levels. The objective is to reach the other end of each level while avoiding collisions with roaming dot obstacles of varying sizes and speeds. The dot protagonist can only move horizontally or vertically one grid space at a time.
With its highly abstracted pixel art visuals consisting only of dots against a blank background, Crossy Dots evokes a strong retro vibe. Its gameplay concept of navigating across grids while dodging obstacles is also distinctly reminiscent of the classic 1981 arcade game Frogger.
While very simple in terms of graphics and controls, Crossy Dots provides an endless arcade-style challenge. Players must exercise precise timing and pathfinding skills to get their dot to the goal while new obstacles continue spawning. This addictive core loop is easy to pick up but difficult to master.
