Capybara Crossing

The world's chillest animal, in a hurry for once.

An endless arcade hopper. Tap to hop, swipe to dodge: cross busy roads, ride logs over rivers, outrun trains, and spend the coins on fifteen capybaras. Every point is one more lane survived — and whatever you do, don't stand still. The eagle is watching.

How it works

Hop to survive. Everything else is detail.

One thumb, portrait, a run that fits inside a bus stop. The rules take ten seconds; the far side of the road takes considerably longer.

Hop

Tap to hop forward, swipe to move in any direction. Every lane you clear is a point, and the world builds itself ahead of you — no two runs share a layout.

Dodge the traffic

Cars, trucks and buses, each lane with its own speed and direction. Trains give you a flash of crossing lights and a second and a half, then don't negotiate.

Ride the logs

Water doesn't hold a capybara; logs and lily pads do. They drift, so you drift with them — ride one to the edge of the screen and that's a swim.

Never stand still

Idle five seconds and a warning flashes. Idle eight and an eagle decides you look like lunch. The most iconic way to lose a run — you'll only let it happen once. Probably.

Four kinds of lane

Every run is a new world, one lane at a time.

The map is generated as you go from four lane types, and the mix is what makes a run feel fair or furious. Here's what each one wants from you.

Grass

Breathing room. Trees, bushes and rocks to route around, and the safest place to find a coin — any lane has a 30% chance of one, and here nobody's coming for you.

Road

Two to four vehicles per lane, every lane its own direction and speed, and it all gets faster the further you go — up to two and a half times, around the 75-point mark. The coins parked in traffic are worth the detour. Usually.

Water

Three to five floaters per lane, all moving. Land on a log and it carries you; hop between them; hop off before the screen edge arrives. Miss, and the capybara looks very surprised for about a second.

Railway

Empty until it isn't. The crossing lights flash for a second and a half, then a train crosses the whole screen in a blink. Cross between trains, never during — and never, ever linger on the track.

The roster

15 capybaras. Zero chill.

Coins from your runs unlock them in the shop, from the 100-coin Baby Capy to the 3,500-coin legend in a space helmet. Many carry a perk, and every one is earnable by playing — there is nothing to buy.

The screens

Start line to game over, in three screens.

A start menu, the road, the river. That's the entire app — the rest is how far you get.

The start screen: the coral Capybara Crossing title banner over a capybara on a sky-blue background, Best 7 and 1 coin, a teal Play button and a yellow Characters button

Start line

Best score, coin purse, Play, Characters. Swipe or tap to move — that's the tutorial.

Gameplay: the capybara on a paving-stone start lane below three busy roads of red, blue and yellow cars, a grey truck, a purple bus, a river with logs and grass lanes with coins and flowers; score 1

Traffic

Three roads in a row is a real question. Left lane or right lane, and how much of that coin do you actually want?

Gameplay: the capybara riding a lily pad across a river next to a coin, with a railway, more rivers and coin-strewn grass ahead; score 5

Rivers

Logs drift, lily pads bob, and the railway behind them is very quiet right now.

Keep the run going

Every run ends. The next one starts in a tap.

A run is thirty seconds or three minutes, and the game is built so the next one is always right there — with just enough to chase that "one more" turns into twelve.

Questions

The short answers.

Is it free?

Yes — the whole game, every capybara included. There are no in-app purchases; everything is earned by playing. It's supported by ads: a banner at the top of the screen, an occasional interstitial after game over (never during your first three games of a session, never twice within two minutes), and rewarded videos you can choose to watch for 50 bonus coins or a revive.

Do I need an account?

No sign-up, no login. Your high score, coins, unlocked capybaras and achievements are saved on your device.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The game runs entirely on the device — play on a plane, on the subway, in the one corner of the house with no signal. Only ads need a connection.

What is the eagle?

Stand still for five seconds and a warning flashes. Stand still for eight and an eagle swoops in and carries your capybara off. Some capybaras buy you more time — Hot Spring Capy 20% longer, Rainbow Capy 30%, Space Capy 40% — but none of them buy you a nap.

How do I unlock new capybaras?

Collect coins during runs — one coin each, and the ones sitting in traffic are worth the detour — then spend them in the character shop. Prices climb from 100 coins for Baby Capy to 3,500 for Space Capy, and many come with a perk: coin magnets, smaller hitboxes, bonus starting coins or a more patient eagle.

Will an update wipe my progress?

No. Every update runs a validate-and-repair pass over your saved data before anything reads it, so your high score, coins, capybaras and achievements carry over — they have since version 1.0.

The other side of the road isn't going to reach itself.
How far can your capy go?

Free. No account. The eagle is already circling.
