About Rooftop Runner
Rooftop Runner is a free endless runner across the city rooftops. Switch lanes, jump gaps, slide under signs and escape a boss chase at the end of every stage, by day and by night.
How to play
- Run along three lanes. Switch lanes to dodge barrels and obstacles, jump roof gaps and slide under signs.
- One crash and you're busted, so grab a hoverboard: it works as a shield.
- Every stage ends in a boss chase. Bosses drop crates, fire lasers and lightning, and throw bombs.
- Each stage earns up to 3 stars: clear it, reach the coin target and take no hits.
Controls
- Computer: ← → or A D to switch lanes, ↑ W or Space to jump, ↓ or S to slide, 1–4 for boosts, P to pause.
- Phone or tablet: swipe left or right to change lanes, swipe up to jump and swipe down to slide.
Worlds
Five worlds of five stages each: Sunny Downtown, Neon Nights, Sunset Heights, Stormy Rooftops and Snowy Skyline. The six bosses are the Searchlight Drone, News Chopper, Storm Drone, Party Blimp, Mech Crab and Jetpack Goon. Endless stages open after Snowy Skyline.
Pick from seven runners, including Max, Mia and Ninja Kai. Boosts include the Hoverboard, Coin Magnet, Rocket and Second Chance, plus upgrades and trails.
