About

Deadly Crossing

Features
Read full description

Deadly Crossing is a portrait survival run. Tap to move across a hazardous jungle โ€” change course anytime. Bombs, ditches, and crunchy leaves can end the crossing โ€” or draw a predator. When riders close in, sprint for a bush. When the clock runs out, night falls. Scenes are free. Power packs (Gun and Fast Run) start empty; watch a rewarded ad for one charge per stage. A banner may sit at the bottom of the screen; an interstitial may appear before some runs. A rewarded ad can revive you after death. How to play โ€ข Tap to move toward the hut โ€” change course anytime โ€ข Hide in glowing bushes when robbers ride in โ€ข Swipe to dodge an attacking animal โ€ข Use Gun or Run when you have a charge โ€ข Beat the clock or nightfall ends the run No account required.
