One Button, One Rope

What is Scarlet Skips?

Scarlet Skips is a one-button roguelike by Yerk Games, released on 3 September 2026 for PC (Steam, Windows) at $4.99. The entire game runs on one button — press, hold, release — and every few levels it deals you three of its 10 upgrade cards to stack however you like.

This site keeps the reference material that the store page does not: the upgrade cards confirmed on video, straight answers on Switch, PS5 and mobile, the mod and Workshop status, what actually happens at the end of a run, and how the 512 Steam reviews split. Where the game has not told anyone something, we say so instead of filling the gap.

From the Park

Scarlet Skips Screenshots

Scarlet mid-jump with a red and white striped rope over her head, score 23 — The score counter sits above Scarlet; the bar on the right tracks progress to the next upgrade draw.

Scarlet skipping in the park with trees and a brick building behind her — One park setting is the whole game — mown grass, daisies and the waterfront behind the railings.

Close view of Scarlet jumping as the rope passes under her feet — The rope against the ground is the timing cue worth watching, not the character.

Scarlet mid-run with pigeons on the grass beside her — Pigeons wander the lawn while a run is in progress.

Scarlet jumping with the rope arcing above her head — Height cards widen the gap between jump and rope, buying reaction time.

Scarlet skipping rope in the park during a longer run — Runs end on a single missed input, with no boss or finish line.

Get Started in 5 Steps

Check it runs. The listed specs are steep for a 2 GB game — compare against the system requirements before buying.
Learn the three inputs. Press, hold, release. That is the entire control scheme, explained in how to play.
Watch the rope, not Scarlet. The animation is deliberately distracting; the rope hitting the ground is your cue.
Take height cards first. Speed cards get you more draws but shrink the timing window — see the tips page.
Learn what you drew. Card effects stack in ways the game never explains; the upgrade table lists what each one does.

FAQ

What is Scarlet Skips about?

It is a one-button roguelike about skipping rope, made and published by Yerk Games. You press, hold and release a single button to keep Scarlet jumping, and every few levels you pick one of three upgrade cards. The store page frames it as helping Scarlet work through a rough patch one jump at a time.

Is it Scarlet Skips or Scarlett Skips?

One T. The game is Scarlet Skips, after the character Scarlet. Scarlett Skips and Skarlet Skips are common misspellings, and both currently show up as breakout search terms — if you searched one of those, you are in the right place.

Is Scarlet Skips a real game?

Yes. It released on Steam on 3 September 2026 at $4.99 and had 512 user reviews at our last check. The question comes up because the reveal trailer circulated widely as a meme months before launch.

About This Site

Scarlet Skips Rope Log is an independent, unofficial fan resource for Scarlet Skips players — not affiliated with Yerk Games.

How we verify: Every upgrade card named here was seen in at least two launch-week playthrough recordings. Cards seen in only one clip are marked as single-source.
Update cadence: The store page, the achievement unlock rate and the review counter get re-read every Friday, and the numbers on this site are dated so you can tell how stale they are.
What we don't do: We do not invent the missing cards. Yerk Games ships ten and only some are named on camera, so the rest of the list stays blank until footage shows them.
