ArcadeHop your footballer across sprinting players, team buses, mowers and sprinkler rivers.
About Cross the Pitch
Cross the Pitch is an endless lane-hopping arcade game set on a chaotic football training ground. Tap to hop forward, swipe to sidestep, and try to get as far as you can without being flattened by a team bus, tackled by a sprinting squad or mowed down by the groundsman.
Every lane is different: running lanes full of players doing sprint drills, roads with team buses and golf carts, lawnmower strips, sprinkler rivers you cross by jumping on floating ball bags, and rails where the Ball Express train thunders past. Stand still too long and the groundsman's net scoops you up.
How to play
- Tap anywhere (or press Up) to hop forward one row.
- Swipe left or right, or use the arrow buttons, to sidestep. Swipe down to hop back.
- Time your hops between buses, runners and mowers. Red rush lanes are extra fast.
- Cross water by landing on the floating ball bags, and wait when the rail signal flashes red.
- Keep moving forward or the groundsman's net catches you. Grab cash notes on the grass.
