Rooftop Roller
An original assisted-forward-motion rooftop roller-skating game, not a free-roam skatepark or an endless runner. Forty-eight short seeded routes connect five to eight rooftop gaps in roughly 22–35 seconds, with a 62-second limit including explicit recoveries. Hold to crouch and charge, release before the lip and steer toward the broad landing extension. From route 4, narrower mint rails offer roughly double crossing points but require active balance. Offset landing lines arrive at route 8, rail crosswinds at 17 and soft-knee compression landings at 25. Later routes narrow the safe landing and require every roof link. Falling deducts up to 300 banked points and requires Recover or R; it does not silently reset or trap the skater. Original procedural buildings, rooftop planters, skylights, vents, roller boots and articulated limbs use only bundled Three.js. Best score, earned stars and unlocked routes save locally.
How to play
- Tap Play. Hold the play area to charge a jump; drag the same thumb left or right to select the gold safe crossing or, from route 4, a mint rail. Release on the gold stripe for the first three routes; later gaps use the nearer coral takeoff stripe.
- On a rail, drag against the balance dot and keep it near the centre marker. Rails carry you 35% faster across the gap and score roughly double points. Hold while descending onto striped compression landings. Safe roof crossings score less but avoid rail balance risk.
- Meet the roof-link goal to unlock the next route. Recover explicitly after a fall, pause whenever needed or retry a solo route. Keyboard: arrows/A/D steer, Space charges/releases, Escape pauses/resumes and R recovers or retries. Daily uses the UTC date; friend rooms run one same-seed solo score challenge.
Tips
- Charge before the takeoff stripes. Releasing late leaves no roof underneath; releasing much too early can bring the wheels down inside the gap.
- For a rail, line up before jumping and make small corrections against the balance dot. Crosswind changes the correction needed, not the room seed.
- A clean chain multiplies crossing points. The first three routes award three stars for no falls; later routes also require at least one successful rail for three stars. Hold on descent for the coral-striped landing extensions.
Questions
Are friends skating together in one live city?
No. Every human plays a separate solo route with identical seed and configuration, and the shared Kit compares scores and displays the podium. The shared computer characters are scoreboard opponents, not physical skaters in the scene.
What saves, and how is the Daily streak earned?
Best score, highest unlocked route and maximum earned stars save through Kit.store. Mid-run animation frames do not save. The Daily is identical for the UTC date. Only a successful completion earns a streak entry, once per date; consecutive UTC dates extend it and a missed date resets it.
What happens after a fall or a hidden tab?
A fall removes up to 300 points and waits for Recover or R while the route timer continues. Recovery returns you to the next terrace and the missed link cannot be reclaimed in that run. Hiding the tab pauses; returning requires an explicit Resume. Graphics failure or context loss shows an actionable reload message.
How realistic is the skating?
The original quad boots have modeled wheels and laces; articulated legs alternate pushes, arms counterbalance, knees crouch and compress on landing. Forward speed and rail attachment are assisted. This is a timing-and-line-choice arcade model, not unrestricted skating physics.
