An enemy winds up. The blade lands. You press. Miss by 40 milliseconds and this app tells you it was 40, not just that you failed. Parry Lab is a measurement tool for action game players who want their deflect timing counted instead of guessed. Every input is judged and printed with a signed millisecond figure, so you always know whether you went early or late and by exactly how much. [HOW IT WORKS] - An enemy silhouette winds up an attack - Press the instant the blade lands to deflect it - A feint freezes mid-swing and then resumes, so wait for the real impact - Red attacks cannot be deflected at all, so keep your hands off them - Pressing with nothing landing counts against you, so mashing is punished [WHAT YOU GET] - A signed millisecond figure on every single attack, not a vague grade - Session report with a distribution chart and a plain diagnosis such as "you press 27ms late on average" - One-time calibration measures your device's screen and touch delay and removes it from every figure - 15 hand-authored movesets, ramping from steady wind-ups to feints, undeflectable attacks and shifting tempo - Anonymous global boards sorted by the lowest average deviation, a metric that mashing cannot fake - Best average deviation and longest streak saved for every moveset - Clean, distraction-free design built around one clear contact point - Plays in 9 languages - New movesets arrive without waiting for an app update [WHY MEASURE IT] Most players know they keep dying to the same attack, but not why. A number tells you which way you are off and by how much. A session takes a couple of minutes, so it fits right before you open a boss fight, and your average deviation keeps falling as long as you keep the routine honest. Find out how late you really are.
