FAQ
Answers use only sourced facts; unverified items are marked.
- What is Scarlet Skips?
- It is a one-button jump-rope roguelike from Yerk Games. You time a single press as the rope reaches Scarlet's feet, level up to choose from three random power-ups out of 10 upgrade cards, and stack those cards into a build that can carry her all the way to the Moon.
- How much does Scarlet Skips cost?
- It is $4.99 on Steam as a one-time purchase with no documented microtransactions. The store listing documents single-player, Steam achievements, full controller support, keyboard-only and mouse-only options, and family sharing.
- Does Scarlet Skips have an ending?
- Yes. Community documentation says you reach it by jumping higher until you are offered the Super Rocket Shoes, then riding the rocket boots until Scarlet leaves the atmosphere, lands on the Moon, and the credits roll. You can also avoid the ending by declining further jump height upgrades.
- Why does the score stop at 2,147,483,647?
- That number is the 32-bit integer limit. Community documentation describes the score overflowing past it and curving into negative numbers, and a Steam reviewer points out that the global high scores all sit at exactly that figure because the game can no longer represent a larger value.
