UNDERTOW — one-thumb abyss descent
A one-thumb deep-sea descent arcade game with a sharp, readable loop. Hold to rise, release to fall. Thread the glowing holes in the rising reef to build combo multipliers, skim the edges for close-call bonuses, and grab plankton orbs while the current sweeps you down into a neon abyss. Luminescent canvas art, tap-and-hold only, works in portrait and landscape.

EMBERBEAT
EMBERBEAT is a one-thumb arcade climber: hold the screen to make the ember rise, release to let it dip, and thread the glowing ashen ring-gates that scroll toward you. Collect a tight chain of gold sparks to stack a combo multiplier while the pace quickens. A dependency-free canvas loop that works in portrait and landscape, keeps your best score, and restarts in under two seconds.
