Description
Double Dutch Derby is an endless rhythm game played with two thumbs on two ropes. There is no note chart: the ropes are the beat, and the run keeps climbing until you miss three jumps.
There is no note chart. Each rope strike is the beat, and each thumb is a foot: tap left, tap right, stay in the air exactly as long as the ropes need you to. A run never pauses, but it is marked out in stages of about ninety seconds. Clear a stage and you win back a heart and a pocket of coins; miss three jumps and the run ends, with one chance to continue.
The tempo keeps rising, the combo keeps multiplying, and every best score goes to a global leaderboard, checked on the server before it counts. It is free to play with ads for players 13 and up, one $2.99 purchase removes them for good, and younger players get an ad-free game with an auto-generated leaderboard name.
