Many will come into this looking for clear answers and goals. Most negative reviews will claim this to be "pretentious", "not a game", "boring". If something isn't easily understood or goes against an established view of what an interactive project can be, it seems to ignite a strong defensive anger. I've always loved the concept of extremely short form games. Experimentation and explorations not confined to rigid rules of game design. Rooftop Cop has you exploring 5 endless vignette games that are abstract and rich in atmosphere. I'd describe the art style as "glitch-grime", a wasteland of pixels in an oppressive world. This is a slow experience where themes of corruption, exploitation, and power sink in gradually through the repetitive nature of the medium, and where patience unravels contemplation about its overarching message.

About This Game
A world of Police that have forgotten what, and why, they are policing.
Rooftop Cop is a collection of five endless vignette games and a 7-track album. The games are set on a loose metaphysical timeline in which the Cops slowly lose their way.
Each of the five parts is quite different, and varies in theme from environmental terror, to manic industry, to a sort of darkly aloof joy. The companion album is included, and contains more than just the music from the games. (See instructions below on where to find the music after download!)
______________
ROOFTOP COP
I: A Proud History -- balance collecting citations with an abstract deficit, looking for tiny crimes
II: Capture the Flag, for One -- find and return the flag in an environment that does not have you in mind
III: The Datamines -- endlessly collect "evidence" from apartments, find places to stash it before you are crushed under its weight
IV: God Bles Everyone -- amass junk and expand your raft as you drift through a flooded city
V: Palace of the Organizer -- play in the sand, check the fax machine, and re-arrange sticks on a soothing dystopian beach
______________
DOESN'T SPEAK, DOESN'T LISTEN
