"Was this game made by a man?": Indie developer of a roguelike about a girl jumping rope criticized for sexualization
In early September, Yerk Games studio released a game called Scarlet Skips on PC via Steam. This is a specific roguelike where players are invited to control a character and jump rope.
The nuance is that the character under control is a heroine with interesting forms and breast physics. This attracted the attention of not only ordinary players — soon some social media users criticized Scarlet Skips.
A post by user notjerk4kirk, who criticized Scarlet Skips, went viral and gathered tens of thousands of likes and hundreds of comments:
You can tell the creators don't really care if people play their game — they just want to see art where their character is ****.
Discussion participants who share his point of view believe that the creator (or developers) of Scarlet Skips is definitely male: "If there wasn't a girl with huge bouncing breasts, no one would even look at it."
wwwtrenchdotcom admitted that he saw a person playing Scarlet Skips on his friends list and was so disgusted that he almost unfriended him.
Overall, those who played Scarlet Skips rated the project positively: peak online exceeded 600 players on Steam, and player reviews are "mostly positive" — a 75% rating. Some dissatisfied users noted the insufficient variety of the heroine's facial animations.
