You don't need expensive gear or a computer to enjoy the thrill of parkour. Playing Rooftop Run dash transforms you into a fearless freerunner who must use her nerves and quick thinking to dash across city rooftops. Games like that rapidly capture your interest and entice you to play more.
It's not only about speed; you also need to act swiftly, respond, and choose the best the road at the right time.
There are tight spots, dangerous ledges, and abrupt fall on each path. Not knowing what is coming next makes it far more fun and challenging.
Rooftop Movement Feels Quick, Smooth, and Real: Running really gets that feeling of flow, while in many other games the movement feels stiff or repetitive. You're always moving, and the tools respond smoothly to sudden changes in direction. Sometimes you fly through the air or duck under something, and sometimes you go very fast. While it may not seem chaotic, the movement is quite fast. Once you get into the beat, it just clicks.
Pay close attention to your stride and timing.
There is no putting up with it on the roofs. You're at the beginning after one awful hop. But it's highly dangerous in part because of it. It assesses your capacity for concentrate, quick thinking, and preparation. If you get stars and coins together along the way, you have something to work toward besides just staying alive.
Hold down the left button on the mouse and move the camera.
Grab on to something to keep going fast.
When you hit red trampolines, you can jump over big gaps.
To get around, break glass or roll under pipes.
Get coins and stars, but don't lose your goal.
Don't be fooled by how easy it is to learn the game. The farther you go, the harder it is.
Rooftop Run shows that you don't need a complicated plot or lots of images to get into a game. Not much to do—just move quickly, hold on tight, and jump over a few roofs. There is nothing you need for it to begin running except a computer and a few minutes.
