About Rooftop Run
Rooftop Run is a fast-paced parkour game by Madhook where you race across rooftops, jump between buildings, dive through skyscraper windows, roll, slide under obstacles, and run along walls — all while evading enemies trying to catch you. Direction is the one thing under your control; everything else unfolds automatically at high speed, demanding split-second decisions every step of the way.
How to Play Rooftop Run
Run forward constantly — stopping is not an option. Steer your direction to dodge obstacles, smash through barriers, and stay ahead of enemies who will try to grab you. Fall off a rooftop or get caught, and the run ends. Levels follow one after another, each throwing different obstacles in new variations, and each subsequent level is harder than the one before. Coins are scattered throughout the levels to collect along the way. At the start, an onboarding sequence shows you everything essential so you know what to do immediately.
