Parallel Overhead is an endless runner game developed by Linus Vanas (aka Huitsi) and first released in September 2020. Two opposite ships, named Truth and Beauty, traverse an infinite hyperspacial tunnel. They always move in tandem, and the player has to orient both to avoid voids in the tunnel. It can be played from a web browser, from a 64-bit Linux executable or built from source.
