About the Game

Parallel Photon Protocol is a puzzle game about switching branches, interpreting color and shape conditions, and guiding beams of light to the correct goals.

Manipulate the branches placed across the board to reconfigure the routes taken by each beam. Branches with the same shape are linked and switch together, so a single action can affect several routes at once.

Avoid routes that fail their color requirements and gates intended for other beams, then guide every beam to its corresponding goal.

BRANCH CONTROL

Analyze randomly generated boards and determine the correct routes.

Higher difficulties introduce more branches and conditions, requiring you to reason about multiple paths at once. Your completion time and number of actions determine your rank.

REAL-TIME

A fast-paced mode where you switch branches in response to continuously moving beams of light.

Read the board and operate each branch before a beam enters the wrong route.

DUEL

Place pieces on a shared board and build a longer light path than your opponent.

Use straight, corner, and T-shaped pieces to extend your light while competing for space and interfering with your opponent's route. Play locally on a single PC or challenge a Steam friend online.

Solve routes through careful reasoning in solo play or compete for control of the board. Experience puzzles built around light and branching paths through distinct sets of rules.
