Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game is an arcade game entirely devoted to the so-called freerunning. This is an extreme sport that involves running through obstacle-filled courses. The runs must not only be done smoothly, but also in the most spectacular way possible. The game was developed by the independent, one-person studio MLMEDIA.

Mechanics

In Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game we take on the role of a freerunner. Unlike in many games that tackle the theme of parkour, where it is largely automated, here we have full control over the character at all times.

The game provides us with a variety of urban maps with an open structure. In addition to diverse buildings, the gameplay is enriched by variable weather conditions. We run forward and slide on surfaces, jump on elements of the environment (such as metal barriers or concrete walls), and perform various tricks in the air. Acrobatics crowned with a smooth landing are rewarded with points, while doing combos provides us with multipliers, which can significantly increase the final score we achieve.

Nindie Spotlight: 6.4 / 10 by Justin Nation

While the elements of parkour movement and tricks are all here, getting into the flow is a challenge and compared to contemporaries it feels limited more quickly

Full Review

Gameffine: 80 / 100 by Farzeen K H

Rooftops & Alleys is a rare thing: a movement-focused game that respects your time and skill. It doesn’t try to be flashy. It doesn’t try to be easy. It just asks one question—how far can you push yourself? For players who love Mirror’s Edge, Skate, or Titanfall 2 for their movement systems, this is a must-play. It won’t be for everyone. It’s light on traditional-style content and tough to learn. But if you click with the movement, you’ll find yourself chasing that next perfect run for hours. This is a game built for the few who love the grind. And if you’re one of them, it delivers in spades.

Checkpoint Gaming: 6 / 10

Rooftops & Alleys builds an incredible foundation with its dynamic and exciting parkour & freerunning. Although it can be very difficult to learn and is rife with inconveniences, slowly understanding how to navigate across rooftops becomes such a thrilling time. What holds the game back is how few options the player has to test their new abilities. Despite some solid foundations, a notable lack of interesting missions or enticing exploration makes Rooftops & Alleys feel a bit too empty.
