Rooftop Renegade

A quick burst of platforming goodness, unafraid to be set back by its lack of variety in challenges, and instead focusing on consistently uplifting level design, with a fantastic soundtrack to boot. (Review Policy)

Rooftop Renegade is a supremely fun indie game that'll have you zipping over roofs faster than Santa on Christmas Eve. I dig it! 😄

Speedrunning fans should find some appeal, but if you’re not all about perfecting your runs this may struggle to go the distance

Rooftop Renegade's fast-paced gameplay is fun and challenging enough, but its speedrunning focus may limit its widespread appeal.

My main complaint is that there isn’t enough content here. Yes, there is the Generator Mode where an endless array of levels can be created, shared and raced against friends. But after a while these feel very ‘similar’. I do admit that I was unable to test out the multiplayer mode, however I doubt that this would provide significant longevity to the title. Rooftop Renegade isn’t quite the smash hit game I was hoping for, but as a first up effort there are still enough things here to like that I’ll definitely raise my expectations for Melonhead’s follow-up game.
