Our take on Parallels
Players may bounce off when the relaxed opening gives way to moving platforms, collapsing surfaces, and shadowed shapes. Anyone who struggles with fast reactions and precise timing is most likely to hit the wall during the later route through changing light.
What is Parallels?
Parallels is a side-scrolling platform game set in a surreal, colorful world of parallel platforms.
Players guide a lost sphere by bouncing and rolling through levels, using a jump triggered by one click or key press. White surfaces are safe, while shadowed shapes, moving platforms, and collapsing walls and ceilings create obstacles. The journey starts as a relaxed puzzle-escape experience but becomes increasingly difficult as the sphere moves through changing light. Checkpoints preserve game progress. The game includes puzzle levels, bright color changes, and an ambient soundtrack.

Parallels compared to similar games
