Scarlet Skips is out on Steam, released by Yerk Games on September 3, 2026 at 655 yen. The one-button jump rope roguelite runs without permanent upgrades between runs and is confirmed for Steam Deck and Steam Machine.
Scarlet Skips arrived on Steam on September 3, 2026, from Yerk Games. The store page lists the game at 655 yen, with Steam Deck and Steam Machine compatibility confirmed. It is a jump rope roguelite built on a single hold-and-release button, with the girl Scarlet chasing high scores.
The run structure settled early in coverage. Power-ups come from randomly drawn cards at level up, including jump height increases and extra ropes, and mid-run upgrades include jump power, rocket boots, and a burning rope that counts each pass double. One snag ends the run. There are no permanent upgrades between runs, so every attempt starts from the same baseline.
Coverage before release centered on the announcement video, a comical, low-effort clip that drew 4.1 million views on X, alongside the September 3 release date and PC via Steam. After launch, the play report focused on how the build combinations change how the game plays, and on the protagonist's chest physics built in as a gameplay hazard rather than decoration.
