Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game PC

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.

The game has implemented a series of challenges, in which we can test our skills. They may be about completing designated routes as quickly as possible or fighting to score as many points as possible. In order to increase the precision of our tricks (and the chances of a good landing), we can use the slow-motion mode.

We can admire our player from behind his back (TPP) or watch the action from his eyes (FPP). The game allows us to customize his appearance to individual preferences. We can also embody a pigeon and freely traverse the map in its skin, for example in search of the most freerunning-friendly locations.

Technical aspects

Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game runs on Unreal Engine 5.
