Student completes Crossy Road, reaching max score of 9999

I love Crossy Road so much because it has simple gameplay, which allows for more

street over the mechanics. My name is Joshua Beasley and I hold the world record title for

highest score on Crossy Road. I've been playing games as long as I can remember. I started playing

Crossy Road in 2016, but I'm studying games design at university and I'd love to work in

the games industry. Crossy Road has a very simple gameplay loop, which means anyone of any age or

ability can understand and enjoy the game. I have a good understanding of car patterns

and cycles which allows me to make plans and cross the roads effectively

The game is easy early on but the fundamentals still apply at higher scores. It's good to

aim to stay within the middle as you have a greater view and can see the cars on both

sides of the road. Generally when I'm playing I'm looking to see if there's a gap between

the cars that I can make. When there are longer sections of road I try to make sure I have a plan of how I going to approach the road and what path I going to take before I reach it If there are lanes of roads that are completely empty it means that a police car is about to come through so you should stay clear of that lane Just before 9000 I almost died when going

from a log to a lane with a red truck. When I was playing, I miscounted the cycles so the cars didn't

line up. To save this, I had to go back onto the log and then forward again onto the red truck lane

I was very close to dying because the log almost went off the edge of the river

9999 is the highest possible score to get in Crossy Road. Where someone else may break the record and stop, I keep pushing and keep breaking the record over a man

Ever since I started playing Crossy Road in 2016, I've been aiming to break the world

record, so when I finally did it it was a huge achievement and I was very proud of myself
