Common questions
What is Scarlet Skips?
A one-button action roguelike and score chaser by Yerk Games. You help Scarlet skip rope using press, hold and release timing; level-ups offer three random power-ups from ten stackable cards. It launched September 3, 2026 on Steam for $4.99, with Steam Deck Verified support.
Is there a secret ending in Scarlet Skips?
Nothing official or launch-week coverage documents a secret ending — no trigger, no condition, no unlock. The single Steam achievement is awarded for failing your first skip, and runs simply end when the rope catches. Any secret-ending claims are unconfirmed.
Is Scarlet Skips on mobile or Android?
No official phone version exists. The game's only distribution channel is Steam for Windows (with Steam Deck Verified). Sites offering Scarlet Skips APKs or free downloads are not connected to the developer.
How do I get a high score?
Learn clean apex timing first, then stack the right upgrades: jump height and luck early, rocket boots once they appear, extra ropes later. Deep runs farm upgrades mid-air on rocket fuel.
