PARITY SHIFT

You stamp a glowing cross onto a dark parity field. Every stamp flips the center tile and its neighbors. Match the mint ghost pattern before the stamp budget dies.

The twist

Not a maze. Not a beam. Lights-out with a budget. Order does not matter — parity does. Edge stamps clip. Targets can be all-void, all-mint, frames, checkers, or crosses. Read the ghost. Spend stamps like currency.

Minimal. Thinky. Readable in one glance, sticky for twenty more.

What's in the demo

Eight levels: tutorial through early cabinet (FIRST STAMP  CHECKER LOCK). After the last demo level the cabinet says: that's the free fold — full game 24 levels, $4.99 on itch.io.

What's in the $4.99 build

All 24 handcrafted levels. Larger 5×5 fields, pattern ghosts, tighter budgets, dense parity storms, and a final all-odd lock. Level select with lock/unlock. Settings: mute SFX, reduced motion. Instant reset and undo. Keyboard and touch (safe-area aware). Progress saved locally.

Controls

Tap/click a tile to stamp a cross. Z undo. R reset. Esc menu. Phone: on-screen Undo / Reset.
