Crossy Road Characters Idea - Pi Day! 😋🍕

[@SkyeTheMobileGamer]

Get ready for Crossy Road to turn 10 years old!

[@PhoticsTV]

🎊😃🎉🎊 …but a Halloween event seems like it would be next on Hipster Whale's schedule of Crossy Road events. 🤔

[@smugless191]

Crossy road on every raspberry pi is kind of insane given how many are used to control small devices and are never touched by a UI. I think this is a great idea though!

[@PhoticsTV]

Well, if you're building something for a specific purpose, then adding Crossy Road is unnecessary clutter. But if you're using a Raspberry Pi for gaming, then Crossy Road could be a nice addition.

[@Pencilboy-b1u]

I think it will be a great game mode for a legendary character

[@PhoticsTV]

I was just thinking… what if Hipster Whale released the “Pizza Pi” as an in-app purchase character… and then I have to buy my own Crossy Road character idea. 😄

[@Pencilboy-b1u]

@@PhoticsTV maybe they will give you the pizza pi for free 🤨

[@ShadowMidas1st]

Your cat is so beautiful

[@PhoticsTV]

Thanks 😻 Perhaps what Crossy Road needs to solve the pet problem is a custom cat creator. That way, you could simply make your own custom cat and name it after your pet. After that, what would be neat is if your pet followed you in the game. 😸

What if the pi day mascot is just π and instead of cars and logs how about other irrational numbers like √2, phi, e and more.

[@PhoticsTV]

Well, that idea could be expanded. Maybe this is the start of a S.T.E.M. area… where there's a “Math” level, with characters like you described, and then areas for “Science”, “Technology”, and “Engineering”. If they want to add “Arts”, then it could be the “S.T.E.A.M.” area.

We need a moai head character

[@PhoticsTV]

I think I've seen enough of them playing Gradius. 😄

[@Isaacsh0p1]

@@PhoticsTV what is gradius

[@PhoticsTV]

@@Isaacsh0p1 It's a side-scrolling shooter from the 1980s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradius I have it on the NES Classic, but I've played Life Force way more. You can see the arcade versions of both in the video for Konami's Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection… kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaGnZnZqoaelf68 …but Gradius is called “Nemesis”.

[@Cactuscatkyle]

With an android you can just mod crossy road and add your own character and i enjoy that

[@PhoticsTV]

Custom characters on Android?! That would have made making this video a lot easier. 😄

Great news I got sludge thing today also I got gift sack last year

[@jaredpolk4]

my son is going to be steve urkel for halloween

[@PhoticsTV]

There's an emoji for that… 🤓 …and I've been thinking about that problem. Ideally, I'd be able to pair the toys with the kids. As an example, if I see someone dressed as a ghost, then the plush ghost emoji is a nice match. Yet, there were so many kids last year and it gets dark so early, so it's difficult just to keep up with the flood of costumed people. 😄

[@crossyroadgamer]

Good idea, but just make it ham..😊

[@PhoticsTV]

I didn't add toppings to the pizza, but I did imagine bouncing pepperoni, kinda similar to the “Fried Chicken” character.

[@juststello]

@@crossyroadgamer can't forget the pineapple 🍍😎 but then they would have to remove the "pineapple special character" 😆

[@Mr._Pretzel_Roll]

I think this is a great idea! Although they would probably make it pie not pie

[@PhoticsTV]

Do you mean Pie not Pi? 🤔 It kinda needs the math element if they're going to do the number hunt. I suppose they could call the “Pizza” character “Pizza Pie”. Since it is voxel shaped game, maybe they'll go with a Sicilian Pizza Pie… especially if they add an “Italy” area.

[@Emilia-q3g]

Bro what app did you use to make that pizza😅

[@PhoticsTV]

It's called Goxel… github.com/guillaumechereau/goxel

[@Jonersg]

Interesting

[@PhoticsTV]

Indubitably! 🧐

[@xbsjhsxk]

Bro forgot its pie not pizza😂

[@PhoticsTV]

They are called “Pizza Pies” in the United States, especially New York. If you want one piece of the pizza, you ask for a “slice”. If you want the whole thing, you say something like… “One pie to go.” There's also Sicilian Pizza, which is often a more thicker pizza with a rectangular shape. That might translate better to Crossy road, but the triangular shape is more common. Just look at emoji… 😋🍕 So, I suppose that is another upside-down issue… because apparently “Pizza Pie” is confusing internationally. The fix for that is easy. It could be an “Apple Pie” character that does the number hunt to unlock the “Pizza” character. …or these two new characters could be part of a new United States area, where Apple Pie and Pizza Pies are part of the culture.

[@xbsjhsxk]

@@PhoticsTV whatever ya say it would still be pie more likely
