Disney Crossy Road receives a magical, Aladdin-themed update

It's not quite a whole new world, but it's pretty neat

Recently Hipster Whale and Yodo1's blocky creation, Disney Crossy Road, got a much-needed update as characters from Aladdin were brought into the fray.

For me personally, Aladdin holds nostalgic themes. Having played Aladdin to death on the Mega Drive, it's brilliant to see Agrabah's streets in game-form again, even in voxel graphics.

New characters include: Aladdin, Jasmine, the Sultan, Jafar, Prince Achmed, Gazeem, Razoul, Rajah, Iago, Abu, Genie, Magic Carpet, Pink Flamingo, Beggar Jafar, and a couple of other figures. Phew, what a haul this time.

What I particularly like about this new pack is that certain characters have useful abilities to help you through the level, such as Genie's ability to turn obstacles into something fun or Rajah's ability to swipe at things with his claws.

If you haven't got the game already, check it out on the App Store or Google Play. The game is free-to-play with IAPs.
