Crossy Road's primary objective is to navigate through various obstacles while avoiding being hit or sliding off the screen. Players must guide their character through highways, rivers, and other challenges, striving to keep the character alive and moving forward for as long as possible.

One of the key aspects of crossy road is the accumulation of points. Players earn points by successfully crossing obstacles, with the score increasing incrementally with each step taken. This scoring system encourages players to push themselves further and take on more challenges.

Additionally, players aim for a high score by crossing as many obstacles as they can without losing points. This competitive element motivates players to beat their own records or challenge friends to achieve the top scores.
