Parry Lab vs Minimum Effort

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 screen and touch delay, so the figures are real and not estimates - 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: go 30ms sooner and the same attempt lands. 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.

You have a job. You do not want to do it. Minimum Effort is a satirical workplace strategy game. Every workday runs from 09:00 to 17:00, and everything you can do with those 480 minutes trades three things against each other: the time it saves you, the output it actually produces, and how conspicuous it makes you. The goal is not to be good at your job. It is to find the least amount of work that survives. HOW A DAY WORKS • Do the work, fake the work, or avoid it entirely. Looking busy covers part of a shortfall when the boss checks the deliverables. It never files the report. • The boss patrols the floor. When he walks past in the middle of something you get a couple of seconds to look busy . and less time the hotter you already are. • Repeat an act and it gets riskier every time. The fourth bathroom break is not the first bathroom break. • Colleagues talk. Each one has their own trust in you and their own doubts, and a rumour that crosses the floor twice reaches the boss's office from a direction you were not watching. THE PEOPLE Your accomplice will cover for you. The overachiever notices an unearned win. The snitch keeps a note of when people leave their desk. The gossip has already told two other people. You can chat, delegate your work, ask somebody to cover, genuinely help them . or put your name on their work, which they never forget. PROMOTIONS ARE A TRAP Every rung on the ladder pays more and expects more. Getting promoted is easy. Staying just competent enough not to be fired, one rung higher, with a bigger quota and the same amount of effort . that is the game. FIVE CAREERS - Corporate. Easy. Meetings, decks and a quarterly review nobody reads. - Startup. Chaotic. Twelve people, no structure, and everybody notices everything. - Consulting. Medium. Frameworks, workstreams, and never being the one with the answer. - Investment banking. Extreme. Enormous money, enormous work, and an associate who never leaves. - Home office. Nobody can see you and everything is measured. The green dot is your new boss and it cannot be charmed. Corporate and Startup are included. Consulting and Investment Banking are unlocked together by the Career Pack. Home Office is its own pack. Both are one purchase each, not a subscription, nothing recurring, and either one removes the advertising. THE ONLY SCORE THAT MATTERS Total money earned, divided by hours you actually worked. Retire at the top of a ladder having been paid for years and worked for weeks, and the number on your record board will say so. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No account and no sign-in. No server of ours. Your careers are saved on your device and nothing about them leaves it. It does show advertising, which Google's ad kit loads over the network, and either pack removes it. Minimum Effort is a work of satire. The offices, the colleagues and the careers are invented, and nothing in it is advice about a real job.
