rooftop runner

Rooftop Runner strips a runner down to the one decision that matters: when to jump. The character sprints on its own, so there is no speed to manage and no lane to pick in advance - just a rooftop edge coming up and a gap on the other side that either fits your timing or does not. Coins sit along the safe line and the risky one, and grabbing the risky coins usually means jumping a beat later than feels comfortable.

Hazards get denser the longer a run goes, turning a relaxed jog across buildings into a string of back-to-back jumps with almost no rooftop between them. Runs end the moment a jump is mistimed, so the skill is reading the next gap while still mid-air over the last one.

How to play

The character runs automatically, so your only jobs are jumping and dodging. Jump as you reach the edge of a rooftop to clear the gap to the next one, and move left or right to avoid obstacles in your path. Coins scattered across rooftops add to your score - grab what you can without breaking your jump timing, since a late jump for a coin is the most common way runs end.
