Catch the last metro within 20 seconds before chasing a perfect loot run. Move with WASD, use Space for a double jump or a kick off a cyan wall, and slide on landing with Shift or C to retain speed. Each loot pickup doubles the score; falling or missing the train scores zero.
Play free and understand the goal
Official game。This free browser parkour game by Somehow Shipped was published October 24, 2026, for the 20 Second Game Jam 2026. You flee a fictional Paris riot with a fictional designer bag. The safe line is slower; the fast line crosses pits. Perfume, watches, shoes and a baguette tempt you onto riskier routes. The setting and brands are fictional.
Controls and scoring
| Input or event | Effect |
|---|---|
| WASD / mouse | Move / look around |
| Space | Jump; press again in midair for a double jump |
| Space on a cyan wall | Kick away; a new wall restores wall-running and double jump |
| Shift or C | Slide downhill and preserve speed on landing |
| Loot / failure | Each pickup doubles the score; a fall or missed train means zero |
| R / N / T | Retry / random station / today's station |
| Tab, 1–3 / L | Open stall and buy upgrades / today's leaderboard |
From the first attempt to the finish
- Begin with today's station, which uses the same daily course for everyone. Locate cyan walls, pits, fire and water hazards before chasing collectibles.
- Jump with Space, press again in the air, then wall-run on cyan surfaces and kick off. Reaching a fresh wall restores your double-jump opportunity.
- Slide with Shift or C down slopes and as you land. The developer specifically recommends turning falling speed into ground speed.
- Once you can board reliably, add risky pickups. Another item doubles the score but cannot save a run that misses the train.
- After boarding, inspect your result. R retries, N selects a random station, T returns to today's route, and L displays today's top 50.
Mistakes and the street stall
| Problem | Adjustment |
|---|---|
| Fall on a shortcut | Learn the landing using the safer route first |
| Run out of jumps | Reach a new cyan wall to refresh your jump |
| Slow down after landing | Chain the landing into a slide |
| Miss the train repeatedly | Consider upgrading your running shoes |
| Sales are slow | Consider faster stall sales or a better selling location |
Loot delivered to the train is placed on your pavement blanket and sells even while the game is closed. Tab opens the stall; keys 1–3 buy shoes for speed, blanket/stall improvements for faster sales, and location upgrades for better prices. No universal optimal buying order has been verified.
FAQ and current version
What is the fastest route? The developer says the fast line crosses a pit; a precise record route has not been mapped.
How do I earn CONDUCTOR? A hidden CONDUCTOR time, splits and medals exist, but the threshold is not stated.
Where is my best-run ghost? It was removed in the October 24 update. The daily leaderboard remains available with L.

Secure a repeatable finish first, then use walls, refreshed jumps and landing slides to collect more. After the 20-second escape comes a second job: running a street stall to buy better shoes.
