TESSERA
The craft of Byzantine mosaic, made playable. Read the sinopia underdrawing, nip smalti square or wedge at the hammer, and drag glowing courses of glass along the flow lines — outlines before ground, the true andamento. Grout the finished panel, polish it to a shine, and watch the gold catch the lamplight. Built on a deterministic laying engine, so the title screen sets its own masterpieces and the demo is the regression test. Twelve panels across Roman floors, the gold ground of Ravenna and the starry vault, with an apse gallery of your finished work. Portrait-first, pure JavaScript.

Farlight — Quiet Orbits
A meditative space-exploration game in WebGL2, made for phones. Survey all seven seeded worlds of a quiet system — steer and thrust with one thumb, scan each planet for a line of a forty-year-old signal, and fold between orbits. No fail state, no timers: just a slow, luminous journey to a lullaby.

Farlight — Quiet Orbits
A meditative one-thumb space-exploration game in WebGL2, made for phones. Steer and thrust between seven procedurally-seeded worlds with shader-carved surfaces, scan each one, and fold across the system to resolve a quiet signal that has repeated the same melody for forty years. No fail states, zero assets — every planet, nebula ring and chime is generated by code.
Farlight — Quiet Orbits
A meditative space-exploration game in WebGL2, made for phones. Survey all seven seeded worlds to solve the mystery of a signal that has repeated the same phrase for forty years — one-thumb flight, fold jumps between orbits, procedural planets, and a slow-beating synth score. No fail state, just quiet orbits.

Farlight — Quiet Orbits
Farlight — Quiet Orbits is a meditative, one-thumb space-exploration game rendered in WebGL2. Steer a relay ship through seven procedurally-seeded worlds with shader surfaces, scan each world to collect one line of a story, and fold-jump between orbits. Zero assets, no fail state, built for phones in portrait and landscape.
Farlight — Quiet Orbits
A meditative one-thumb space exploration game in WebGL2 with zero assets. Fly a 2.5D ship across seven seeded worlds — each with a procedurally generated surface, rings and moons — and survey them all to find out who has been transmitting the same seven-note lullaby for forty years. No fail state, fully procedural, built for phones.
松风入墨 · Pine Wind, Ink
中国风解压庭院：一滴墨随手势生长为远山、寒梅或归鸟，并得一句题词；耙沙、金缮、水书青石、拂尘观画、编钟雨檐、锦鲤池、木作。无倒计时、无失败、无体力，做完的每件小物都永久留在你的山水庭院。A quiet Chinese ink-wash sanctuary — bilingual, no timers, no failure.

SUMINAGASHI — The Floating Ink
Suminagashi is the ancient Japanese art of marbling ink on still water, made playable. Drop concentric ink rings, comb the surface into flowing waves, and draw a stylus through the water to open blossoms — then lift the paper to capture your print. A meditative fine-art puzzle built on a real deterministic marbling engine, with twelve master prints across three chapters and a free studio.
Farlight — Quiet Orbits
A meditative one-thumb space explorer in WebGL2, built for phones. Survey seven procedurally-seeded worlds, each a shader-built planet holding one note of a forty-year-old melody; fold between orbits, scan every globe, and uncover who is still transmitting. No fail state, no assets — just you, the ship, and a quiet signal.
Farlight — Quiet Orbits
Farlight — Quiet Orbits is a meditative space-exploration game in WebGL2, built one-thumb-first for phones. Seven procedurally-seeded worlds with shader-computed surfaces and fresnel atmospheres await: steer, thrust, hold SCAN to survey each world, and FOLD-jump between orbits to uncover a seven-note signal and its quiet ending. Zero assets, no build step, score your fastest full survey.
i lost maya
A cinematic canvas tribute — an auto-animating experience of stars, fireflies, and poetic verses set to generative ambient tones. A meditative space for remembrance.
Farlight — Quiet Orbits
A meditative WebGL2 space-exploration game for phones: survey seven seeded worlds with shader-rendered surfaces, fold between them, and piece together a lullaby left for an empty crib. One-thumb controls, zero assets, no fail state.
SUMINAGASHI — The Floating Ink
SUMINAGASHI is a meditative fine-art puzzle about the ancient Japanese craft of marbling ink on water. Drop concentric rings of ink, comb the surface into flowing waves, and draw the stylus to open blossoms — then lift the paper to capture your print. Twelve master prints across three chapters, a koto score, a mounted atelier gallery, and a free studio, all powered by a real deterministic marbling engine. Portrait-first, pure JavaScript, no build.
Farlight — Quiet Orbits
A meditative WebGL2 space-exploration built for phones. Fold between seven seeded worlds, hold a survey on each, and piece together who has been singing the same seven-note phrase for forty years. Zero assets, one-thumb controls, no fail state — just a quiet signal.
Drystone
On a northern English fell the walls are down, and there is no mortar coming. Drystone is a physics game about fitting irregular hand-inked stones: no grid, no snapping, no two alike — only weight, friction and the judgement in your fingers. Break every joint one over two, pour hearting into the core, tie the faces with through-stones, set the copes. Then let go. The years run: gales lean on exposed stone, frost prises at every lazy joint, the ground settles under a hollow core, and Herdwick ewes shoulder her to see if she gives. Eleven commissions. Longevity is the only score.

MANDALA (Remix)
The art of the poured sand painting, made playable. Pour coloured sand into the folded wedge and every grain blooms symmetrically across all the petals at once. Match the printed chart, then watch the finished mandala sweep away to the winds — the ritual of impermanence. Built on a real dihedral-symmetry engine (one pour, mirrored up to twenty-four ways), so the title screen paints its own masterworks and the demo is the regression test. Twelve mandalas across three traditions, with a singing-bowl score, a shrine gallery, and a free sand studio. Portrait-first, pure JavaScript, no build.

EMBERGLASS
The craft of hot glass, made playable in hand-lit pixel art. Gather a glowing gob from the furnace, blow it round, drag the wall to shape it, and roll it in colour to match a master form — then set it in the annealer and watch it cool into translucent, jewel-toned glass. Heat is the clock: shape it before it sets, and don't over-blow or the bubble bursts. Built on a deterministic hot-glass engine, so the title screen blows its own masterpieces and the demo is the regression test. Twelve commissions, three collections, and a glowing vitrine of your work. Portrait-first, pure JavaScript.

LUMIBLOOM
LUMIBLOOM is a meditative one-thumb healing game. Tap the sky to cast an expanding heal flash that de-glitches dark orb-creatures, blooming them into glowing flowers. Chain blooms to raise a flow multiplier that widens your flash, and restore the whole digital world to clear each sector.
SHIBORI
The Japanese art of indigo resist-dyeing, made playable. Fold the cloth, clamp the resist over each region, then plunge the whole cloth through the ai vat — deeper with every dip. Clamp on time and a region keeps its shade; miss the moment and the indigo drinks it darker. The fold IS the symmetry, so one clamp blooms a kaleidoscopic pattern across the opened cloth. A real fold-symmetry engine drives it — clamp-then-dip is both demo and regression test. Twelve cloths across three traditions — itajime, kumo, arashi — with a rin-bell score, a cloth gallery, and a free dye studio.
