NOVA DRIFT
A one-thumb gravity arcade. Ride a comet in perpetual orbit around a hungry core that keeps dragging you in. One tap fires an ion pulse that shoves you outward and blasts a shockwave to clear hazards. Collect motes to build a combo and trigger FEVER — but the closer you ride to the core, the faster you score. Don't get consumed.
cat and mouse
You are a tiny mouse on a warm kitchen floor. Drag to scurry, auto-fire breadcrumbs at hungry cats, use DASH and HIDE abilities, and collect cheese to survive wave after wave. Features a combo streak system — chain 5 hits for score multipliers and a golden burst! A portrait pixel-art survival arcade built with pure Canvas 2D.
EMBERVEIN
EMBERVEIN is a one-thumb arcade gauntlet. Hold to let a glowing ember rise, release to let it fall, and thread the vein of cyan gates. Threading the bright core line earns a PERFECT combo with hit-stop and rising pitch for risk/reward. Score and best persist, and it plays in portrait or landscape.
PULSAR
A one-thumb orbital timing arcade game. Pilot a comet around a breathing star, tapping to dive between rings as expanding pulse waves sweep across. Chase spark chain-combos and charge a screen-clearing NOVA shockwave to survive a ramping cosmic gauntlet.
Sunset Kart GP
A sunset coast kart race in pure WebGL — no assets, no libraries beyond Three.js. Drift to charge boost, thread the corners, and beat 5 rivals over 5 laps. Fast laps, best times, and a podium to prove it.

Vesperwing
A moth shmup through a candlelit cathedral. Your glow is ammo and lure: drink flame to charge your beam, but the brighter you burn, the faster the shadow choir converges. Three stages, three bosses, and a bell fought in the dark.

MOONWICK
A moonlit night-garden match-3 saga: swap six luminous garden charms — Emberberry, Sunbell, Cloverwisp, Dewpearl, Nightplum, Frostmoth — to relight a withered nocturne garden across 24 hand-built levels and three worlds. Forge wickbeams from match-4s, bloombursts from L/T shapes and rainbow wildwicks from match-5s, then combo them; thaw frostglass, cut bramble, crack stoneroot, scrub nightmoss, light moonwicks and float dew-pots home. Deterministic seeded engine — the zero-UI attract screen is the solver playing real levels. Portrait-first, pixel-art, pure JS, no build.

A one-thumb arcade game with a sharp core loop
Cinderhold — a one-thumb arcade defense. Guard the last ember from shadow wisps closing in from the dark rim: hold anywhere to charge your light, release to burst. Early releases fizzle and perfect charges double your score, so greed is the whole game.
AURA
AURA is a one-thumb orbit arcade game. You're the last ember circling a collapsing star: tap to reverse your spin, sweep into sparks to feed it, and dodge the drifting cold cinder shards. Chain combos, trigger Overdrive, and survive an ever-faster collapse.
GRAVITON
A one-thumb gravity-flip arcade runner. Tap to flip your orb between a cyan and magenta rail while the tunnel scrolls past — match sparks to stack a combo multiplier, but every flip commits you to whatever blade is sliding into your lane. Thread close for CLOSE near-miss bonuses. Best score saved on your device.

CINDER
CINDER is a one-thumb orbital arcade dodger. Hold to dive your ember toward a dying sun, release to drift back out — thread crimson ash belts and catch golden sparks to build your combo. Reaction timing, screen shake, and hit-stop make each run a <2s restart.

One sharp core loop — tap to climb, thread, combo, surge — with escalating difficulty, score persistence, and juicy particles, shake and synth audio.

GYRE
GYRE is a one-thumb arcade game where you ride the rim of a light vortex. Tap to reverse your spin — the reversal is simultaneously your dodge and an attack burst that zaps asteroid shards you rail into. Reverse late and close for perfect combos; how long can you keep the gyre alive?
Iron Vow
A warrior with a beautiful glowing sword stands at the heart of a dark arena. His beloved has been taken — enemies swarm from every shadow. Tap anywhere to swing your legendary blade in a radiant arc, cutting down grunts, shielded knights, and swift runners.
