Rooftop Rush

How to play

Your skater rolls forward on their own across the rooftops of a night city. Your job is to jump at the right time. Falling into a gap or bumping into something ends the run. There is no finish line, so go as far as you can and beat your best score. The city gets faster the longer you last.

On a computer, press Space, the up arrow, W or click to jump. Hold it for a higher jump, and press again in the air to jump again. P or Esc pauses. On a phone, tap to jump, keep your finger down to jump higher, and tap again in the air for a second jump.

Tips and tricks

• Your score is your distance in metres, plus 10 points per coin, plus rail points. Chasing coins and rails beats just staying alive.
• Rail points grow the longer you stay on one rail, so try to land near the start of a rail and ride it to the end.
• Boxes, air vents and water tanks are safe to land on. Poles are too thin to stand on and end your run, so always jump over them.
• Wide gaps need two jumps. Make the first jump, then press again when you are high up, not right away.
• Coins are saved after each run. Spend them in Looks on new skater colours, from Sunset at 60 coins up to Gold at 900.

What makes it fun

Rooftop Rush uses one button, but it does three jobs: tap, hold and jump again in the air. The challenge is reading the next rooftop while the speed keeps climbing. Coin lines and glowing rails pull you toward risky spots, so every run is a choice between playing safe and chasing points. Your first few runs are a little slower to help you learn.
