PeakParkour is an audio-based endless runner where your character runs forward automatically across three lanes. Your task is to survive for as long as possible by using sound cues to control their movement—switching lanes, jumping, or ducking to avoid a variety of obstacles.
The game keeps you on your toes by constantly changing the environment. You will traverse four distinct terrain types, each with its own special rule that limits your movement:
- Jungle Terrain: No restrictions.
- Waterway Terrain: You cannot duck, or you will drown.
- Rope Terrain: You cannot switch lanes, or you will fall.
- Pipe Terrain: You cannot jump, or you will hit the ceiling.
You will face numerous obstacles that require specific actions to overcome, such as changing lanes to avoid rolling logs, ducking under burning vines, or jumping over rushing rivers. A unique challenge is the "Dizzy Egg," an unavoidable obstacle that, upon impact, temporarily shifts the gameplay to a sideways perspective with altered controls and new audio cues to navigate.
Along the way, you can collect special items by aligning with them in the correct lane. Gold Coins guide you onto Rope Terrains, while the Acceleration Sphere doubles your speed, and the Flying Item allows you to soar above all obstacles for a short time. Be careful, as you cannot pick up a Flying Item while inside a pipe, and if you are already flying when you enter one, the effect will be cancelled.
