About

CrocoCross

Read full description

CrocoCross is a side-view riding game about momentum, balance and landing the next jump. Start with Rocco the crocodile in the Canyon, then earn new riders and trails. THREE RIDERS TO RIDE Ride with Rocco, unlock Kenji the Shiba Inu on his blue-and-white motorcycle, then meet Milo the monkey on an electric scooter. Safely land 50 backflips for Kenji and 100 for Milo. Progress carries across rides, even after a fall. EXPLORE NEW TRAILS Start in the Canyon. Safely land 50 frontflips to unlock Japan Mountains, with sharp ridges, a Mount Fuji panorama and towering torii gates. Land 100 frontflips to unlock Tropical Jungle, with grassy platforms, ramp launches, flat takeoffs and larger gaps. Tap each ready catalog card to claim your unlock. SIMPLE TOUCH CONTROLS Hold the right side to accelerate and lean back. Hold the left to brake and lean forward. The controls settle beneath your thumbs, with short presses for finer control. Suspension and articulated riders bring each jump, landing and tumble to life. A SHARED WEEKLY CHALLENGE Take on a 2,600-metre course with one life and no time limit. Everyone rides the same Canyon route, changing every Monday at 00:00 UTC. Reach the finish to record your score and time. FRESH ENDLESS RIDES Three lives and a new trail each ride. Travel farther, safely land flips and chase a separate personal best in Canyon, Japan Mountains and Tropical Jungle. Game Center is optional. 40 LOCAL ACHIEVEMENTS Track first flips, double and triple jumps, cumulative rotations, distance milestones up to 50 km, Weekly finishes and unlocks. Flips count only after a safe landing. YOUR RIDE, YOUR SOUND Choose from three original music tracks, adjust music, engine and effects separately, or mute everything with one tap from Home or Pause. Optional haptics add feedback under your thumbs. Play Weekly and Endless offline. Local records, unlock progress, achievements and preferences stay on your device. The interface is in English. Free to play. No ads. No in-app purchases. No separate CrocoCross account required.
