Rooftop chase games: what makes a good one

A rooftop chase game is a runner with someone behind you. The pursuer changes everything: speed is not just score, it is escape, and every choice (jump, hide, push on) is measured against how close they are.

The pursuer is the design

A visible meter. How hunted you are should be readable at a glance: calm, alert, hunted.
Ways to shake them. Blending into a crowd, breaking a line of sight, chaining near misses.
Different pursuers. A guard who blocks, one who runs you down, one who shoots, a captain who leads.
Fair contact. Getting caught should come from a mistake you can see, not a hidden hitbox.

The ending matters

Most runners end when you trip. A good chase game gives you a decision instead: bank what you have now, or keep running for a grander finish with the pursuers closing in. The end of the run becomes its best moment.

What to look for

A pursuit meter you can read.
At least one way to lose pursuers without just running faster.
A finish you choose.

Where Leap of Faith fits. Leap of Faith is a rooftop chase: four guard archetypes (Halberdier, Runner-guard, Crossbowman and the Captain), a pursuit meter from Calm to Hunted, crowds to blend into, and landmark gates where you choose LEAP NOW or RUN ON. A run ends in a slow-motion leap of faith graded by a golden ring, with a stamp card to share. Free in your browser and on your phone.
