Edge Runner is a skill-based arcade game that tests your reflexes, focus, and decision-making. Your goal is simple: avoid the green squares, collect red bonus squares, and score as high as possible. You start each run with three lives. Every collision with a green square costs one life — lose all three, and the game ends. Red bonus squares reward precision and smart movement by giving you extra points and helping you push your score even higher. The game does not speed up over time. Instead, you choose your challenge: Easy – relaxed and beginner-friendly Normal – balanced arcade challenge Hard – demanding and unforgiving Each difficulty level has its own Top 10 leaderboard, where you can track your best scores and compete for the highest position. With clean visuals and responsive controls, Edge Runner is easy to learn but difficult to master. Designed for short sessions and endless replayability, it’s perfect for quick breaks or focused score-chasing.

Parry is a one-mechanic arcade game stripped to its essence: a single arc-shaped shield, a fragile core, and threats closing in from every angle. Drag to rotate your shield. Intercept the solid dots to score — but let the plain rings pass: block one and it's over. Pure shapes, pure reflex, no clutter. Every death is telegraphed, so every death is your fault — which is exactly why you'll tap restart instantly and go one more. HOW TO PLAY • Drag anywhere to rotate the arc shield around the core • Parry the solid dots — block them to score • Let the plain rings through — blocking one ends the run • Gold "bullseye" rings are an optional gamble — block one to wager a brief bonus or setback, or let it pass • Survive as the field grows faster and denser FEATURES • One mechanic, infinite skill ceiling • Minimalist, pure-shape visuals with unlockable themes and shield/core styles • Tight haptics and code-synthesized sound • Objectives to chase and a personal best to beat • 100% offline — no ads, no in-app purchases, no account, no data collection Hold the line as long as your reflexes allow.
