Roof Runner

Roof Runner is a small side scroller where you control the stickman who is running across rooftops and jumping over obstacles. Graphics is really minimal, the size of the file is only 70 Kb. The idea to make a game where runner jumps over obstacles is far from an original one. However, the interesting thing is that here we combine mouse to position the runner and spacebar to jump. Double space is for double jump. The goal is as usual, get as far as possible. You can also collect powerups which double your speed for a while, but that makes it much harder to react to the incoming obstacles at the same time. For keeping your scores it is unfortunately used mochi leaderboard, which as we all know, stops working soon. All in all this is one interesting addictive game meant for those who like parkour.

Downsides

In controls there is no mentioning of using a mouse in the game. That it can be used I have discovered by accident.
There is no background music and no sound effects.
It is nothing we haven't seen so far. There are loads of similar games with much better graphics out there.
Looks like Canabalt rip off.
Submit score dialog jumps out every time you lose, which is somewhat annoying, especially if you are not too skilled player and you die a lot. Perhaps it would be better to insert an option to explicitly submit your best score by pressing a button.
The game has only basic jumps, not nearly enough to present itself as parkour stickman game.
There is no indicator which tells you how long your double speed lasts.
Obstacles are simple black boxes, nothing special.
