Deadly Parkour

Deadly Parkour is a precision platformer, the kind that counts every jump and forgives none that lands an inch short. Its levels are built one at a time rather than generated, and that shows within the first few screens.

You hold two characters with different special abilities. A stretch of rooftop that dead-ends for the first one often opens up for the second, so the first question in any level is who ought to be standing there.

The goal is always the far end of the level, and the path to it is usually singular. Finding the right order of jumps is the real challenge; executing it cleanly is a second, separate one.

There are seventy levels, drawn in a pixel style with an anime touch. Your lives are still counted, though: a heart sits in the top left corner and the button beside it offers another one in exchange for a video, so a jump that lands short genuinely costs you something.
