Jump Rope Roguelike Scarlet Skips Launches on Steam
A YouTube animator's recurring character gets a standalone game, and the one-button design plus confirmed Steam Deck and Steam Machine support makes it a low-friction release.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Yerk Games released Scarlet Skips on Steam. It is a jump rope roguelike where players control the girl Scarlet and chase high scores. The controls are a single hold-and-release button, and leveling up grants power-ups chosen from randomly drawn cards, including jump height increases and extra ropes. Steam Deck and Steam Machine compatibility are confirmed. The game sells for 655 yen.
The game comes from Yerk, a creator who posts animation works on YouTube, and Scarlet is a character from those animations. The one-button design keeps the loop simple: hold to charge, release to jump.
Leveling up through jump rope presents a random card draw, with options like raising jump height or adding more ropes. The store page lists Steam Deck as working without problems and Steam Machine compatibility as confirmed.
Scarlet Skips is on sale for 655 yen.
