New title studio’s debut collaboration with a media partner

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has partnered with leading industry analytics affiliate platform SlotCatalog to create Uncrossable Rush, built on the new mechanics of the iconic CrossyRun.

The collaboration, Evoplay’s first with an affiliate, represents a fresh approach to game creation, blending the studio’s innovative design and technical expertise with SlotCatalog’s deep player insights, data analysis, and discovery tools.

In Uncrossable Rush, players help Eggwina, a brave chicken, cross 24 chaotic lanes of traffic with multipliers in a high-stakes dash to safety. Featuring vibrant visuals, dynamic difficulty levels, randomised gameplay patterns and a cash-out mechanic, the title offers an instant format created to match high expectations of players.

Evoplay has been focusing on partnerships as a driver of the industry. Beyond the fast-paced action, the game tells a broader story, one of creative collaboration and alignment between content creators and the platforms that connect players with new experiences.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Working alongside the SlotCatalog team on Uncrossable Rush has been a genuinely rewarding experience. This project gave us the chance to experiment and create something that feels fresh but still rooted in what players really want.

“We’re confident that Uncrossable Rush will engage players and deliver strong results for our operator partners.”

Fedir Havlovskyi, CEO at SlotCatalog, said: “We’re incredibly excited to have partnered with Evoplay to launch Uncrossable Rush. The game reflects the kinds of mechanics and formats we know resonate with players: fast, accessible, and replayable.

“It’s been a genuinely collaborative process and one that demonstrates how affiliate partners can contribute to content innovation.”
