Parry Runner

One input. Infinite steel.

Parry Runner is a combat game where your timing is your only defense. You are a lone swordsman standing against an endless siege of cannons. There is nowhere to run—only the sharp edge of your blade between you and certain defeat.

Play the web version for free directly in your browser! Downloadable versions are available for those who wish to support the project.

THE CORE LOOP

The world moves to your rhythm. Encounters slide into place, testing your focus and reflexes. When the cannon fire reaches your position, a single, perfectly timed input is all that stands between survival and a game over.

• Deflect: Use your one and only input to swing your sword and redirect incoming projectiles.
• Survive: Each successful parry keeps the streak alive.
• Bonus Life: Precision pays off! Parry 5 incoming cannonballs in a row to earn an extra life.
• Adapt: As the pace increases, you must master the window of opportunity to dismantle the siege.

FEATURES

• One-Button Precision: Simple, accessible controls that demand mastery.
• Infinite Combat: Procedurally generated encounters that test your endurance.
• Rhythmic Flow: A unique "treadmill" combat system that keeps you locked in the zone.

HOW TO PLAY

• Swing: Use any input to swing your sword.
• Time it: The cannonball moves fast—wait for the right moment to parry!
