An endless road-crossing arcade game: hop a plucky chicken across traffic, rushing rivers, and train tracks. One tile at a time, one wrong move from a squash, splash, or sweep.
About Road Cross
Road Cross takes the classic lane-by-lane hop and keeps it lean: one chicken, one tile per tap, and a world that never repeats the same way twice. Grassy shoulders give you a breather (watch for trees blocking the way), roads throw cars and trucks at whatever speed and direction the lane feels like, rivers demand you ride logs and lily-pad your way across without touching the water, and the odd train track looks safe right up until the warning lights start flashing.
The further you go, the meaner it gets — lanes speed up, traffic thickens, and the safe gaps on the river get tighter, so the run that felt easy at row ten turns into a dodge-and-weave scramble by row forty. Linger too long deciding your next hop and an eagle loses patience and shoves you forward, ready or not.
It's built for quick, replayable runs: a clean tap or arrow key moves you exactly one tile, coins along the way are just for style, and a crash, drown, or sweep drops you straight into a retry screen with your score and best run so you can jump back in immediately.
Inside Road Cross: what we checked
The numbers below come from Road Cross's own source code, and the screenshots are from our own test run of the game (20 October 2026).
- Your score is simply the furthest row you have reached, one point per new row. Coins are counted separately and do not add to the score.
- Each new row is random: 42% road, 34% river, 8% railway and 16% grass. After three hazard rows in a row, the next one is always grass.
- The game gets harder over about the first 45 rows. Road traffic speeds up from about 1 to 2.6 rows' worth per second and the gaps between cars shrink from about 3 tiles to a little over 1.
- On a river you must land on a log. You ride along with it, and if the log carries you off either side of the screen you are swept away.
- Railways give a warning of about a second before a train crosses, and each crossing cycle lasts roughly 4.5 to 7 seconds.
- If you stand still for 6.5 seconds, an eagle makes the chicken hop one row forward. You can only retreat down to five rows behind your furthest point. Your best score is kept in this browser.

How to play Road Cross
Hop one tile at a time toward the top of the screen, weaving around cars, riding logs across rivers, and crossing train tracks only when the lights aren't flashing. Grab coins for style points, and don't just stand still — an eagle will nudge you forward if you idle too long. Reach as many rows as you can before a vehicle, the water, or a train ends your run.
Controls
Desktop: arrow keys or WASD to hop in any direction, M to mute. Touch: tap to hop forward, swipe up/down/left/right to hop that direction.
Tips & tricks
- Don't overthink a hop — the eagle forces you forward after a few idle seconds, sometimes right into danger.
- On rivers, commit to a log early; drifting off the edge while you hesitate is an instant swim.
- Flashing lights on a train track mean move now or wait it out — never freeze on the rails.
- Trees only block a single tile, so sidestep instead of waiting for a grass row to clear itself.
Frequently asked questions
How do you cross the river in Road Cross?
Hop onto the floating logs and ride them across; touching the water ends the run. Time each hop so the next log is in front of you before you jump.
Why does an eagle grab the chicken?
If you stand still too long, an eagle pushes you forward. Keep hopping and wait on grass tiles, which are the safe rows.
Does Road Cross save my progress?
Yes — Road Cross keeps your best score and settings in this browser's local storage, so they are still there when you come back on the same device. Nothing is uploaded and no account is involved — clearing your browser data is what resets it.
Is Road Cross unblocked at school or work?
Road Cross is a plain web page of about 39 KB — no plugin, no installer, no app store — so it loads on a Chromebook or a locked-down school or office laptop the same way any other page does, and the whole game arrives in one short download. Whether it opens comes down to your network's filter rather than the game itself.
