What 512 Steam Reviews Say About Scarlet Skips

Review counter read: September 4, 2026

What players praise

• The animation. Yerk Games built the movement from hand-made animation blended with procedural motion in Unreal, and it is the thing reviewers and streamers point at first.
• The price. At $4.99 it is a cheap curiosity, and several launch-week playthroughs treat it as a one-sitting purchase.
• The core timing loop. Press, hold and release on a single button is easy to pick up, and the upgrade draws keep runs varied.

What players criticise

• Content volume. The most-replied launch thread on the topic is titled Thats it? and asks where the extra modes, outfits and voice lines are.
• Pacing. One negative review quoted on the store hub calls the game slow before enough speed upgrades stack up.
• The AI question. A 26-reply thread argues the game is AI-generated. Yerk Games has not replied to it. The channel behind the game has been posting hand-animated shorts since at least 2018, which is the counter-evidence people cite.
• One achievement. Players expecting a completion list get a single achievement, awarded for dying on the first jump.

How to read this page

This page reports other people's numbers. We do not score games ourselves — we have no way to verify a playtime claim, so what you get here is the Steam counter, the date we read it, and what the loudest threads are arguing about.

If you are weighing the purchase, the price page covers what is and is not included, and is it worth buying puts both sides of the split next to each other.
