FAQ
Common questions about Scarlet Skips, its controls, upgrades, platforms, and current release status.
What kind of game is Scarlet Skips?
Scarlet Skips is a one-button action roguelike and score-chasing game developed and published by Yerk Games for PC through Steam. The goal is to time your jumps, survive longer, and chase higher scores.
How do the controls work?
The official game description uses a single-button press, hold, and release control scheme. The exact keyboard mapping is not fully documented in the store description, so check the current in-game settings for the active input.
How do upgrades work?
When you level up, you choose one of three random power-ups. The current Steam listing says Scarlet Skips has 10 upgrade cards, and upgrades can be stacked and combined to shape stronger high-score runs.
What platforms support Scarlet Skips?
As of September 5, 2026, the confirmed native platform is Windows through Steam, and the game is Steam Deck Verified. No official Mac, native Linux, mobile, console, or browser version has been announced.
How much does Scarlet Skips cost?
The current Steam base price is US$4.99. Steam may show a different price in your region, so check the live store page before purchasing.
Is there a Scarlet Skips demo?
As of September 5, 2026, Steam does not list an official downloadable demo, and no official demo announcement has been found. Treat third-party pages offering a download with caution.
Does Scarlet Skips have an ending or final boss?
No traditional story ending, final boss, or ending unlock is officially confirmed. Launch-week player reports have not found a boss, finish line, or ending sequence, so be cautious with guides that present Ending A or Ending B as established facts.
How do I unlock the first Steam achievement?
The current Steam version lists one achievement, Off to a Great Start. Player testing reports that deliberately letting the rope hit Scarlet on the first jump unlocks it; Steam's storefront does not publish that trigger as an official description.
