10 things to know before getting 'Rooftops & Alleys' 💫 - This game is made by a solo developer - The game releases on May 21st 18:00pm CEST - You can play on Controller or Keyboard & Mouse - The pricetag is 15.99 USD - The game is Steam/PC exclusive until fully finished - Purchasing the Early Access means you will also own the finished game - The game is in active development - This is a singleplayer game, not multiplayer - Consoles are planned, but for a later date, after the game is finished - By purchasing this game you support me and the games future :)

this looks exactly like how my 15 years old me would imagine the perfect parkour game with the same fluid gameplay when i played skate 3

Three things I think this game needs to be successful. (Its already looking amazing btw, these are just my personal thoughts) 1. A level editor. Most people will likely get burned out pretty fast if there is not constant content being added. Let the community keep it alive! 2. Mod/Workshop support. Even something as simple as modding in a custom character, or outfits, would be great! 3. The ability to create your own line, then challenge your friends to beat your score/time. (Being able to see the ghost of their best time/score would be a huge plus.) I'm super happy that someone is finally making a good parkour/freerunning game, I wish you the best, and truly hope this becomes the best game it can be!

As a guy who grew up playing Vector and Skate 3 this is like a childhood dream come true..

Dude said "watch me play my game, if you like it, buy it!" can't wait!

There are two types of people: Those who want to play a great parkour game and those who want to be a pigeon in a parkour game

Been watching the development of this game on IG for the past months. Really looking forward to it's release 🙌🙌🙌

Looks incredible! Great job so far, mate. Personal little movement wishlist, tho: 1. More vertical movement options, ways to get up and avoid the standard climb up animation. From straight up rock climbing to dynos to being able to do vertical wallruns anywhere and jumping out of them at any time. Essentially wall kicks or tic tacs. This would really open up a whole nother dimension of player expression and also provide a way to keep momentum while turning around. 2. The ability to hold the climb button mid-air and reach out with the left stick to grab any handholds, more like in Assassin's Creed 1-Revelations. Would allow for some very high risk, high reward leaps. This might interfere with the may striding currently works, so 3. Maybe simply make the striding part of the sprint. Sprinting of any ledge would initiate a stride, even if there isn't a beam there. This would also add a bit of depth through button disciple, having to let go of sprint right at a ledge to only drop down and not stride off. As right now, there is really no reason not to always hold down the sprint button. You might have to increase the standard walk speed though to make it more usable in parkour, tho. 4. Also if you ever do add a manual slide on even ground, that could be a stylish way to avoid the auto-stride off a ledge and could even be combined with the climb button to immediately transition to a cat hang. Keep up the good work! 🏃

Man, I've always wanted this kind of game. The gameplay looks so fluid and satisfying that is hard to believe.

It's funny that one solo dev has put more thought into settings, quality of life, gameplay and transparency than AAA devs do..seriously good work mate, keep doing what you're doing.

It needs a stamina meter which you can build up. each trick needs to consume some stamina. This will encourage strategic gameplay with the tricks you perform depending on how much stamina you have. It could be fun. For example, After a series of 5 back flips, it impossible to do another high endurance trick all in one chain.

So many small considerations (FPS counter, different control inputs) show what a thoughtful development this is. I really feel tempted to wait for a more 'final' version of this game, but really wish you a good launch, the game is looking fantastic.

Absolutely stellar. It feels like we've seen numerous studios with seasoned devs, huge budgets and plenty of time repeatedly miss the mark with parkour games. And here comes a solo dev, knocking it out of the park on his first go in just 9 months. From the streamlined yet rich mechanics to the clean and crunchy aesthetic to the wide accessibility options and even the personable presentation - it's all simply perfect.

Like I said on Instagram, I am going to be spending an unhealthy amount of time on the game. Thank you for sacrificing your time to make this game.

Great showcase! I'm a game designer, and amateur parkour practicioner. So I'm hyped for the game. Some suggestions for future updates: - Create a level builder. Players can then build new levels for themselves, giving the game a lot more content for relatively little work on the dev end. Also really helps with community building, and it's just perfect for a game like this where you kind off choose your own challenges. - Add more environmental interactions. I want to fling around poles, jump through glass, bounce on tight canvas, slide across wet patches etc. And of course allow players to place those in their own levels. - The meter is a really smart addition that allows for a ton of design space. Perhaps you could have it do other things then just a speed boost as well. Like pressing it during a wallrun keeps your feet sticking to the wall. Or having it on changing some tricks into other more advanced tricks. - A game mode where you have to collect several "items" across the map in any order on a timer. It's like a time trial but allows for more choice, freedom of expression, and for people to come up with new routes. - A replay mode with camera controls, to make sick clips of the runs. Will also greatly help the reach of the game because people tend to share those after they've made them. Especially if you can work in a 'post to KZfaq ' esque functionallity. - I think you did great with not scopecreeping the project, but it has to be said. This game would be hella fun with multiplayer. Imagine playing tag with a friend! Foregoing that, you could also choose to go with some AI security guards chasing you, or having to chase a crow that was mean to your pidgeon or something. - Obvious, but, more moves and tricks! Will increase the amount of options in the game exponentially. Especially wanting to see diverolls, catpasses, barswings, underbars, tick-tacks, balancing, pole slides. Great job on getting it to launch! I'm just excited by the potential in this game.

This is going to be the perfect podcast game for me. Can already imagine spending hundreds of hours in it

This game looks like a dream come true. Once this hits, the entire industry's gonna be taking notes. I sure as hell will be. Looking forward to playing it!

Wishlist/Get Rooftops & Alleys here ❤‍🔥 store.steampowered.com/app/2703850/Rooftops__Alleys_The_Parkour_Game/

I used to install like 25 parkour mods for San Andreas to have some fun growing up lol. Finally the cool people from our generation started making games we all wanted :D

the fact that you included both the XBOX and PS layout for the tricking list is a game changer and I agree that every game should have that built-in, can't wait to play this game

i’m not sleeping until this releases

DUDE ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! This looks far better than I imagined for early access. So pumped to play tomorrow!!

Just stumbled upon this and I can't believe this went under my radar for so long. I put a ton of hours into Mirror's Edge as a kid and always wanted another game to give me even more of that feeling, and this looks absolutely perfect. Wish listed for now, once money stops being so tight I'll definitely be checking this out. Good job Mr. Solo parkour dev guy!

This is SICK! Was obsessed with parkour as a kid and will love playing this game!

Tomorrow is my birthday! This dropping is probably the best present I could ask for.

I typically don't interact with many gaming communities but i am beyond hyped to do clips been waiting so long for an arcade ish game like skate where i can chill and do cool shit thank you for your hard work this is def a dream game for me

I had only heard of this game and my initial reaction was "oh, thats pretty cool. Sounds like fun." After seeing it in action, the smoothness, the creativity, the controls... this is absolutely something Im gonna have in my library when Im feeling burnt out on Skater XL and Session. I am completely stoked on this, looks so fun.

I'd love to see a chase mode, kind of like those parkour vs security videos back in the day! Go into a restricted area, get chased by security or something and try to escape

Man I hope this comes to consoles in the future. This game looks fluid, fun, and relaxing

Imagining the future of this game with multiplayer, would be so cool. Just freerunning with some buddys and showing off their parkour skills to each other.

having tons of fun with this game!! you're a legend, mate!! like a lot of people are commenting, i would love to see multiplayer in the future. tag, capture the flag, etc. Awesome game, bro:))

This is the best parkour game I've ever seen, great job

This game is like a assassins creeds parkour system but if Ubisoft actually cared about making the game fun, cool video 👍

i have been waiting for this for 1 whole year, i'm sooooo hyped

Maybe a fun progression idea. The pigeon mode is initially locked for each map and can be unlocked by climbing to the highest or most difficult to reach point in the map. So, you'd have to solve a climbing puzzle to unlock it. Seeing the popularity of games like Only Up I think this could bring broader interest to the game!

OMG IT'S YOU! I've always seen and been super impressed by your demo reels across social. All the best with the game! I'm definitely getting it 😁😁

Feels like it was just yesterday when I first found out about this. Now we're only a day away from launch, love to see it.

What a timing to get your channel recommended on YT! I'm one of those who have always wanted a GOOD Parkour/Freerunning Game, but they never existed? Until now, because just a couple days ago one of your Videos appeared in my Feed, right before the Early Access Release. I'm definitely copping it tomorrow ;) Keep up the good work!

i can really sense the passion behind this game. Great work

I remember playing Free Running when I was young and get so excited. Im not gonna wait to give you my support and hope you the best!

FINALLY SO HYPEDDD

FINALLY, IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT FOR MONTHS. LETS START THE HYPE ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought the game immediately when it came out ! I love it ! The mechanics, the animation, everything ! It's perfect, congrats 👏

7:31 when he started doing hand springs and corkscrew flips i genuinely cried tears of joy i cannot wait to play this game!!!

Man, the game looks beautiful, the gameplay seems very solid, the possibilities are endless and I can't wait for a possible release on consoles, I'm definitely going to buy it!

This is the parkour game ive always dream of.

As a former traceuse, this type of game is one I've waited my whole life for. 💖💖💖 THIS is the parkour experience. Wish you and the games' success!

I’m buying this after work. Thank you for awakening my inner-ninja from childhood.

Finally! it's happening boys!

youtube short creators gonna go crazy with this 😂😂😂😂

i’ve been wanting this type of game for 6 YEARS, I glad just purchased ur game and im having a blast, keep it up very fun game!

Congratulations on the game, i wish you success. It's refreshing to see the dev providing a guide to their game. More could take a lead from you 👍

This is about to be the Skate. of parkour games!

After watching the development of this game for some time, I'm really happy to see it release!

Dude your game is so clean bro holy shit. For 9 months too is insane.

This gake looks so clean! Can't wait for the final release. Maybe you can add like a kick off the wall for the game and also a multiplayer mode, which could provide a lot more awesome tricks and opportunities 😀

I will buy it immediatly on release so exited!

as a girl gamer who has always loved parkour. I cannot tell you how amazed I am that this is real and brilliantly made for 8-9 months in the making! I cannot wait for this game to come to console! I've followed this game since I saw it on Facebook one time. please keep up the amazing work! xx

Mind blown. Can't put into words how perfect this is. I've wanted a game exactly like this for literally years. I was about to become a game developer for the sole purpose of creating a game like this. I'm glad to see you also understand the vision. Cannot wait for the console release, and I hope it isn't too far into the future. Much love and support, you nailed this. I will be buying it the second it releases for PS5. Hope it is super profitable for you, because you deserve it.

Game looks incredible. Definitely gonna buy this when it launches on console

Im so hyped for the game

i need this game, im gonna gts for 48 hours

I'm so hyped to get off work in the morning and purchase this. Cant wait to see what characters, clothing, and game modes you bring later down the road, I'm for sure going to make Content on this game. You made this in 9 months by yourself, Crazy!💯💯 Street Pigeon 4Lyfe

I can’t even begin to imagine how proud you must feel putting this out in the world.

i need this on console AHHHH

I will divorce my wife if she gets in the way of seeing this

as a kid that always went around doing parkour, watching jesse laflair (i hope that how you spell his name i kinda forgot lol). to see this game come about is a dream come true. ive been waiting a long time for a parkour game that actually focuses on parkour and not just basic stuff. thank you

I'm seriously trying not to play games too much (too much work and family obligations) but I'm gonna buy this game just because I think it's amazing you made this by yourself, and it's freaking amazing looking.

2 hours left ⌛

Steam deck verified?

Despite not having played the game myself, I've been enjoying seeing others play it. In the event that this game has online multiplayer capabilities, tag sounds like a lot of fun to play with friends and other gamers. I'm excited to see the final result.

this is actually insane its ridiculous how much stuff hes integrated in that i was hoping would be added and its already in. customization the weather, the time of day the button layout for menus that arent automatically recognized by the software but manually selected. the animations are so so smooth, i love how accurate it is for slowing down and maintaining your footing. this is amazing everything looks so good great job. the only thing i could say you could add right now specifically is a move for gaining height in a wall climb, as in running up to a wall and pushing up with your feet once maybe twice and using your hands as much as you could to gain height to hopefully grab the ledge and pull you up. also maybe multiplayer eventually to trick with friends would be amazing, great work definitely buying your game excited to see whats next 🦔❄

Am I dreaming?

Less talky talky more walky jumpy

actually an awesome looking game, im not a person that likes buying singleplayer games, but this one seems to match my expectations , and i’m willing to support this guy

This is the most game I love, I don't care if is multiplayer or alone but I love and I am not stopping playing this amazing game never

I remember freeruning on ps2.... this is like the best moat version of that. I hope this is going to be the skate game for parkour. Something that will prove the concept. Gopd job it looks freaking awesome and im definitely going to get it

The control scheme feels quite intuitive. An elegant solution that looks so logical we have to wonder why it was not implemented before. Great job. Insta sub!

Hey mate, I recall seeing this in the SPP self plug discord chat. So awesome to see all you've accomplished as a solo dev. Truly inspiring. All the best with your launch. I reckon a lot of parkour fans will be sinking their teeth into this as we all await SPP 🤘

Seeing it when you're just chilling and practicing, it looks way smoother than I thought, exciting

Im very happy theres a semi universal agreement that "skate" like controls eould eork best for a parkour game. Been playing it non stop since release and will continue to do so, cant wait to see how the games gonna evolve leading to the eventual full fledged release

The pidgeon idea is so good

I cant believe its coming out, i remember hearing about this game early in the development and it looked so cool even back then

bought yesterday, already played 9hours soooo satisfying

Love your game. Its much more fun than most,, and will be a classic, no doubt. Looking forward to playing what you add, and exponentially build on. I'm excited for it's present and future. Some ideas that sprung to mind. monkey swings, quick turn, skids just sprang to mind, would be ace. The feeling of flow, freedom and creativity is A1, and super smooth animation is sublime :-)

Love the way the game looks, just bought it today. From videos I've seen I think it would be cool if you could add a replay system in at some point if its not already there. Making montages of lines would be super fun. Thanks for making this game btw, its been such a struggle finding another game like this that isnt mirrors edge.

I've been playing for half an hour and I'm already getting the game down brilliantly!!! Dude this is heaven.

When Skate 3 came out a lot of kids started skateboarding. I genuinely think this will implant parkour as a large staple hobby for the future

Just bought it and I’m so happy with it it doesn’t get boring

Absolutely amazing game, been waiting and following along with the development for months. So glad its out, can't wait for what is to come!

This looks incredibleeee. This video is my first time hearing about this game. But man, the possibilities of things you could add to this is endless. Pigeon mode is sick. It'd be sick to have a P.A.R.K.O.U.R. challenge (collect the letters). Could use the backpacks Semi practically and have useful items/tools in them -- Hook rope thing that makes temporary ziplines to high up places (or anywhere really) -- Trashcan lids/skateboard decks to slide faster or something? idk -- Walkman type cassette player that stores/plays hidden mixtapes you find around the levels. This is probably the longest comment I've typed on youtube lmaoo So hype for this!

The animation blueprint in this game must be wild!

I feel like it's a gamer making a game and not a big AAA company. Love the work and the tutorial video ^^

I have a couple recommendations. If doable, please make it possible to hang and swing across bars and please make it so that you don’t have to go into pigeon mode to access high parts of the maps. Sometimes, there doesn’t seem to be a way to get to high points without going into pigeon mode. Otherwise, this is a phenomenal game! Keep doing what you’re doing and thank you so much!

really liking the game so far since its a great mix of challenging but super rewarding and satisfying when you get it down, the only feedback i have is sometime in the future a way for bar swinging of some sorts would be really awesome. as well i think interiors to small parts of each map would be cool, like running through a school hallway or vaulting over desks in the little office area on the steel yard. all in all keep up the great work on this masterpiece

So far the game looks and plays super nice! The only thing that I'm missing (as a PC main) is to be able to customise your controls. Since the default layout is WASD, this is pretty "hard" for AZERTY keyboard users (as myself). Also it would be nice if you could just customise the keys to whatever you like. This would be HUGE for me! For the rest, I'm already waiting for new maps and so on! This game is very relaxing and addicting at the same time :D Keep up the good work!

A sprirtual successors to PS2's Free Running. Brilliant. Wishlisting the game right now :D

It's so crazy seeing this game come to life after so long watching your update videos from the beginning. Congrats!!

It’s tonight everybody! As a guy who stays up all night gaming, I need this

This looks really cool! Congrats on releasing in early access! I'm impressed you did all this in less than year on your own.
