Rooftop Run

Rooftop Run is a side-scrolling action game focused on continuous movement across elevated urban environments. The player controls a character who must leap between rooftops, avoiding gaps, obstacles, and barriers that appear without warning. The pace increases gradually, requiring fast reactions and accurate timing to prevent falling. The longer the player survives, the higher their score becomes, encouraging replay for improvement. Success is based on the ability to stay focused and anticipate the layout of each upcoming structure.

Gameplay Dynamics

The main mechanic relies on one-button input to control running and jumping. The environment scrolls horizontally, and the rooftops vary in width, height, and spacing. Some rooftops include additional hazards such as low-hanging signs or narrow platforms that require sliding or precision landings. Timing jumps is essential, as miscalculations often result in a fall and immediate reset. The game design uses repetition to train the player’s reflexes and develop rhythm, making each run slightly more manageable through practice.

Visual Style and Progression

The setting includes city skylines, minimalistic buildings, and dynamic lighting that changes based on progression. Backgrounds shift subtly to reflect time of day or height above ground. Although there is no fixed endpoint, players can track their personal records and compare them across sessions. The challenge comes from adapting to randomly generated sequences of rooftops that make each playthrough different. Audio cues reinforce timing, helping players anticipate jumps and landings more effectively.
