Parry Circle: Reflex Arcade

Parry Circle is a one-thumb reflex arcade about a single moment: the instant a shot reaches your shield.
Meet it right then and you parry it back to destroy the enemy that fired it. Hold your shield there too early and it only blocks.
Read each shot, wait for the last instant, and chain parries into a rising combo.

■ Timing you can feel
Every contact is graded: PERFECT, PARRY, "A bit early" or BLOCKED. Only a parry destroys an enemy, and the grades tell you exactly how close you were.

■ Six shot patterns
Twin Shot, Brake Shot, Crossfire, Hold, Curve Shot and Heavy Shot arrive one at a time as you climb. Each is announced and telegraphed before it fires, so every shot can be read.

■ 100 stages, three stars
A stage takes one to two minutes. Clear it without taking a hit for three stars. Stages 50–80 are The Wall, where speed and enemy count jump.

■ Overdrive
Earn one Overdrive for every five stages you clear for the first time. Trigger it for four seconds of invincibility while every incoming shot is parried automatically.

■ One thumb, full focus
A floating joystick appears wherever you touch. Tilt your thumb to aim the shield and the screen stays clear. Combos climb a musical scale with haptic feedback, and at one heart a heartbeat tells you it is time for a comeback.
