What Parkour Tag is
Parkour Tag is a two-player platforming duel built entirely around movement. The match splits into rounds where one player is the tagger and the other is the runner. As tagger, you have to catch your opponent before the timer runs out to take a point. As runner, you survive until the clock expires and score that way instead. Whoever reaches the score cap with a two point lead wins the game. Rounds are short, so the roles keep flipping and both sides get a turn on attack and defense.
Moving around the arena
Movement is the whole game. You can run along any wall vertically or horizontally, jump, double jump, slide and vault, and the interesting part is chaining those mechanics together into routes of your own. Good players pick a path, read where their opponent is headed, and cut them off rather than just chasing in a straight line. The wall running means the arena is usable on every surface, so there is rarely a spot that is off limits. Expect a learning curve: the game carries a difficult tag, and precision matters more than raw speed.
Playing it with friends
Parkour Tag is built for two people facing off, and it works best with a friend. Public matchmaking drops you against whoever is available, while private matchmaking lets you set up a match against someone you know. Since rounds swap tagger and runner, a group can rotate through matches and still get fair turns on both sides. For people who would rather compete against the clock than each other, time trials offer solo runs across courses of varying difficulty, where the goal is to shave down your best time.
Customization and unlocks
You can build a custom face for your character and level up to unlock new emotes and avatars. Challenges unlock unique titles, and time trial runs earn titles you can display online as well. There is also a set of achievement-style challenges if you like working through a checklist alongside your matches.
Things to know before starting
The developer made this game alone and says plainly that it is not free of imperfections, not visually stunning and not AAA quality. It is a first-person, fast-paced, physics-driven competitive platformer aimed at people who enjoy precise movement, and it supports controller play. Go in expecting rough edges and a focus on pure movement competition rather than polish.
