DAX HQ vs Parry

DAX HQ is a fast neon arcade game for quick runs, sharp reflexes, and one more try. Swipe to guide an energy saber and defend the core. Deflect plasma, parry enemy arcs, crack boss guards, and strike exposed weak points. Read the arena, time your movement, and keep the run alive. A CAMPAIGN BUILT TO CLIMB Take on 12 stages across Orbital Foundry, Solar Drift, and Void Crown. Learn the basics, face new attack patterns and mines, and challenge each chapter boss. Checkpoints at the start of chapters two and three let you return to the campaign with a fresh score. TURN DEFENSE INTO A COMEBACK Sweep up repair relays, build your combo, and charge Overdrive. Deliberate outward swipes counter directional attacks, while shield recovery gives you another chance at the next stage. YOUR NEXT RUN IS ALWAYS READY Chase an endless high score, take on Daily Challenge goals, or practice in the no-fail Training Room. Choose Junior, Arcade, or Master difficulty. Unlock saber trails, collect boss cards, earn ranks, and track local achievements. Optional Game Center leaderboards and achievements add another reason to return. PLAY YOUR WAY Use touch, pointer, arrow keys, or W A S D. Optional touch assist helps on phones. Calm Mode reduces shake, flashes, and particles, and the game respects reduced-motion preferences. Independent sound and music controls, adaptive chapter music, and optional haptics on supported iPhones let you tune the experience. - 12-stage campaign across three distinct chapters - Chapter bosses, checkpoints, repair relays, and Overdrive - Endless runs, Daily Challenge, and playable training - Junior, Arcade, and Master difficulty - Local progress, achievements, trails, and boss cards - Optional Game Center leaderboards and achievements - Core gameplay works offline - No ads or in-app purchases - No in-app account required Made as a small family arcade project.

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.
