Parse:Me is a quick-thinking puzzle game where you navigate between zones based on logical instructions. The play area includes five zones: Center (player start), Up, Down, Left, and Right.

You receive commands like:

  • LEFT → go left

  • NOT RIGHT → go anywhere but right

  • NOT NOT UP → double negation cancels out, go up

  • MOVE → go anywhere but center

  • RED/BLUE/GREEN/YELLOW → zones get colored; go to the correct color

The game uses a time-based life system:

  • Start with 3 seconds

  • Correct answers: +1s

  • Mistakes: −2s

  • Max time: 5 seconds

  • Time decreases constantly during play

Inspired by the game NOT NOT (Alt Shift).
Created for "60 Minute Jam #4", based on the second theme: "5 seconds".
