Become one with the woods. Cross them with vim and caution, yet faster than a hunting squirrel. Learn to see ways, as you parkour through the jungle.

Rory’s incredible Chases is a fast-paced parkour game.
In times, when people are bound to sit on their computer – or when they chose to – maybe some might feel an urge to run through a crazy mushroom jungle, bounce between foliage walls, and climb giant trees.
Finally, a game lets you do exactly this.
In many games, that don’t focus their core game-loop on the free-running, but still feature parkour gameplay, a straight line to follow is given, to suggest ways that players should take in order to be as fast as possible.
Even in the parkour game Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, a red obvious line called the “Runner’s vision” accompanies you (per default it isn’t turned off) and the player is never challenged to think, where to go.
I want the player to face that challenge.
