But now, a noisy highway has been built right in front of their home, disrupting their harmonious lifestyle.Defend your peaceful abode by blowing up as many cars in a row as possible, or whack and hack at them with your cane to finish them off. Developed by Thinice Games and published by amazing nearly weekly Xbox supporting publisher Ratalaika Games, this is a puzzle title with an explosive twist. You control one of the 2 old people, whose only aim is to stop the cars before they reach the zebra crossing. Everything that you do either awards or deducts points from your total score. Once you have completed a level, your final score will be calculated. There are 10 stages that you must complete, each with 10 waves of action. For those who are not great with their maths, that’s a whopping 100 levels for you to take on. The action plays out from a table top perspective, you have a clear view of everything that is happening, and the position of all the cars in each level is highlighted with a red template at the start of every wave.Not sure if this game is the best cut for nowadays but if you like it no reason for you to not play it right, especially with the more than fair price of admission to your 1000 gamer score.… Expand

    CrossKrush is an adorable little puzzler about a elderly couple trying to enjoy some dancing and quality Jazz when they are distracted by the sound of the Interstate outside their home. In a hilarious over reaction the couple spring outside to stop the sounds of the horns by blowing the cars up with bombs , or by just whacking them with canes. The concept is just so off the wall andCrossKrush is an adorable little puzzler about a elderly couple trying to enjoy some dancing and quality Jazz when they are distracted by the sound of the Interstate outside their home. In a hilarious over reaction the couple spring outside to stop the sounds of the horns by blowing the cars up with bombs , or by just whacking them with canes. The concept is just so off the wall and comical. I couldn’t wait to review this one, and overall it was a really quality experience. It’s not something I see you playing over and over, but it’s a good way to spend a evening or even with a friend or loved one. The single and Coop experience are both equally enjoyable. The idea is to blow up cars before they reach a check point. You can blow them up by detonating the road underneath them or by whacking them with your cane. You will also pick up powerups like one that makes you grow into a giant and be able to take out cars with one swing of your cane. There is also a laser powered cane that can take out a whole line of cars. You will also find health powerups if you aren’t playing it on the harder modes. You are meant to destroy cars, but you need to let the ambulance through. It isn’t overly challenging, and the pattern never changes. I would have like to seen this randomly generated to allow for replay value. It will however keep you entertained for awhile though as there is ten stages with 10 waves each. So it is good for a couple hours of entertainment.
    It really looks and sounds great though, and has some quality music. It runs really well in my opinion as well. I didn’t experience any issues, and I thought it was fun and hilarious from start to finish. I had a good time playing it alone, but also enjoyed playing it with some one as well. I enjoyed the characters. I liked seeing elderly characters used in a game, because that isn’t a usual thing in the gaming industry. usually it’s making fun of, or having them pass for the sake of drama. It was really cool to see them full of life and the Protagonist. It’s a really decent overall experience , and I’d certainly recommend to any one looking to pad their gamer scores, to have something short to play with a friend or family member , or just fans of puzzlers in general. So check it out , and let us know what you thought of it. To me it’s just a short and sweet pleasant way to spend a night alone, or with someone who also enjoys puzzling fun.    … Expand

    It’s an incredibly short game, seeing how I beat it twice in the space of two hours. And, like the automobiles that Henry and Florence blew to smithereens, those are two hours that I’ll never get back.

    CrossKrush is a fun puzzle game which gets your brain working and is good to play for a couple of hours, with or without a friend. It has cute graphics and catchy music. With it being a quick completion I can imagine a lot of trophy/achievement hunters will love this game. Though, with no incentive for extensive play this game would benefit greatly with some much needed additions and online play. I had great fun with this game with a full completion and really hope you do too.
