''Radical Rappelling'' is an EndlessRunningGame by Creator/HalfbrickStudios, released on mobile phones in 2015.

The player joins Rip and Roxy as they rappel down the mountain, hopping on the rocks and trying to avoid the spikes. The game is played by tapping and holding the screen to descend. Doing well on your run, (in particular, performing various tricks such as Rock Hops, Rock Vaults and Ringos by interacting with specific elements that appear along the way) fills up a tank for Radical Remix. When activated, Radical Remix will make Rip or Roxy briefly invulnerable to obstacles and faster to boot.

!!Radical Tropes:
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The game goes out of its way to use as many words that start with an "R" as possible. This includes [[AlliterativeTitle the game's title]], almost everything Rip and Roxy say, what they get to interact with, player ranks and names of the locations.
* AdvancingWallOfDoom: To make sure player doesn't stand still for too long, Rip and Roxy have to outrun molten lava that slowly descends their way.
* CharacterInTheLogo: A silhouette of Rip rappelling appears on the logo's first letter.
* ChargeMeter: Doing tricks and hopping through the rocks fills up the meter for Radical Remix, a beverage that makes player invulnerable and fast for few seconds.
* FloatingPlatforms: Many rocks that Rip and Roxy hop through on their descend float in the air.
* HeartsAreHealth: Revives that can be obtained through Randomiser are represented by red hearts. Despite their name they act more like additional hit points.
* OneHitPointWonder: Rip and Roxy only need to take one hit for the game to end. The only way to get more hit points is by getting "Revives" through Randomiser.
* ParodyProductPlacement: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GsTy5gw1c8 Trailer for the game]] is "proudly sponsored by" Radical Remix energy drink, which among other things is claimed to be Raddictive, Revolutionary, Radiating and Reinventive.
* PurelyAestheticGender: The game allows to choose between male Rip and female Roxy. The differences between them don't go beyond their looks and voice clips.
* RideTheRainbow: Rainbow is one of the tricks you can perform by touching the cloud. Rip/Roxy will slide on a small rainbow that appears from it, before continuing their journey.
* SpikeBallsOfDoom: Main obstacles of the game (outside of the [[AdvancingWallOfDoom lava]]) are the small purple floating spike balls that you must hop past.
* VisualPun: Every once in a while[[note]]And more often with a dedicated Randomiser boost[[/note]] one of the rocks will have a star on it. Hopping on it will count as a trick and make Rip/Roxy shout "Rockstar!"
