How to play Rooftop Runner
Hold → to run (you only move when you press it). ↑ / Space / tap to jump (double-jump!), ↓ dive. Clear gaps and crates, grab coins.
Tips & tricks
- Hold the right arrow (or tap Run) to accelerate—you don't move unless you're pressing, so quick bursts let you control your speed and line up jumps perfectly.
- Master the double-jump: every jump gives the same kick, so pressing the second one near the top of the first carries you highest and furthest—enough for the widest gaps.
- Watch for glowing power-ups bobbing on wider rooftops—the shield bounces you back up from one fall into a gap, the magnet pulls in nearby coins, and the triple-jump token gives you an extra mid-air jump for about eight seconds.
