Scarlet Skips Overview: Creator, Release Date & More
Scarlet Skips is a one-button jump-rope roguelike developed and published by Yerk Games, released on Steam for Windows PC on September 3, 2026 at a list price of $4.99. If you came here to ask who made the game or when it came out, this page collects the answers, along with what is known about price history, supported platforms, PC requirements, and how players received it in launch week.
Developer and publisher
The official Steam listing credits Yerk Games as both the developer and the publisher of Scarlet Skips. Public information supports this studio-level credit only: no official source currently confirms individual founders, designers, programmers, artists, or a larger internal team. Fan-run creator pages name additional individuals, including an Erik Segriff credit and a performer credit for Brenna Thornton, but those names have not been confirmed by Yerk Games or any official source.
Unconfirmed: individual people behind Scarlet Skips. Treat Yerk Games as the confirmed developer and publisher, and treat any named individual as unverified until an official source publishes those details.
One official detail connects the studio credit to the wider YerkDiff handle: the Steam copyright line reads © 2026 YerkDiff. Fan-run pages describe the game as growing out of the "yerkdiff scene" into a polished Steam release, a framing that is itself fan-sourced rather than confirmed. For creator research, the most reliable reference remains the official Scarlet Skips Steam page, which establishes the developer and publisher credit, release date, platform, and feature list.
Release date and store history
Scarlet Skips launched on Steam on September 3, 2026. That date refers to the paid Steam release, and the store page identifies the product as a Windows single-player title with an English interface.
The store history contains one easily misread detail: a pre-release snapshot taken on August 30, 2026 by a third-party tracker showed a "2 September 2026" date and no price, because the listing was still being finalized. That earlier figure was a stale pre-release listing; release dates on upcoming listings move often, and the actual launch landed on September 3. A few facts were stable across those early snapshots: Yerk Games as developer and publisher, PC as the platform, and the jump-rope roguelike description.
Price
Scarlet Skips lists at $4.99 USD on Steam. Launch reporting around release described the price as about $5, which matches the store listing.
Price-tracking services recorded one lower point in the store's price history: SteamDB's records show $3.29 as the lowest recorded price, dated to launch day (September 3, 2026). That figure is presented here as recorded price history rather than current pricing; as of early September 2026 the standard list price is $4.99.

System requirements
Steam lists the following minimum and recommended specifications for Scarlet Skips (as captured by fan-run pages mirroring the listing):
| Requirement | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 | Windows 10 |
| CPU | Intel i7-6700HQ | AMD Ryzen 9 3900X |
| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | NVIDIA GTX 1060 | NVIDIA RTX 2080 |
| DirectX | Version 12 | Version 12 |
| Storage | 2 GB available space | 2 GB available space |
Both tiers share the same OS, DirectX version, and storage requirement, and even the minimum spec is modest, which fits the game's lightweight arcade presentation. A reasonably modern Windows 10 PC should handle it; the recommended tier is for players who want maximum headroom.
Reviews and reception so far
Player reception during launch week was positive but based on a small sample that is still growing. One snapshot taken around September 5, 2026 showed roughly 74% positive from about 708 Steam reviews, while SteamDB's review field read about 76% positive in the same window. Both figures move quickly in the first weeks after launch as new reviews land, so treat them as early-September numbers rather than fixed ones, and check the Steam store page for the current split before quoting it anywhere.
Content warning
Steam's store listing for Scarlet Skips carries content descriptors for suggestive themes, revealing clothing, exaggerated animation on suggestive body parts, and general mature content. This guide repeats those phrases plainly as Steam's own label for the listing. The warning describes the game's presentation as classified by Steam; it is not a claim about the game containing explicit scenes, and nothing in the game's official material describes story content of that kind. The game itself is a one-button arcade score-chaser.
