DUSTLITANY · Every Stroke Moves the Whole Line
An original portrait-first conservation puzzle. Swipe across any mosaic cell: every loose residue in that row or column compresses toward the stroke. A residue leaves the artifact only when the leading piece matches the collector at that edge. Every effective stroke rotates every collector to its next material, so routing and timing are one decision.
POLDERWATCH · Every Pump Moves the Tide
POLDERWATCH is a standalone portrait-first field tower defense. The attacking enemy is an integer sheet of living salt water, not a queue of walkers. Powered windpumps transfer real field volume into finite crystallizer pans; they never delete it. A wet copper cell cuts the physical route from the engine house, while a glass datum raises terrain and displaces—rather than erases—the trapped brine.
COREWAKE: Every Crater Moves the Orbit
COREWAKE is an original single-player fine-pixel planetary excavation and orbital rescue puzzle. Twelve visible radial sectors contain authored stacks of basalt, iron, ice, core samples, habitats and protected rootstone. A Drill Lance removes one frontier; Clockwise and Counter Shears remove linked frontiers while publishing different tangential impulses. Every timed intent advances a courier through twelve discrete nodes and three discrete orbit bands. Removed mass changes the remaining integer mass moment, which accumulates as a visible radial Wake. Debris persists on exact nodes. Trim fuel
BELLWRAITH · Every Rest Moves the Dead
A complete portrait-first fine-pixel rhythm tactics game. Compose four public beats, then conduct them across a three-lane funeral bridge. Toll spends two Resonance to strike the nearest shade. Chime spends one to pierce its full lane. Rest restores two Resonance and raises one Ward—but every Pall Bearer follows silence.
MISTRUMENT: Every Command Moves the Liar
An original portrait-first tactile deduction game set inside a drowned glass-chapel bathyscaphe. One gauge always mirrors its true value. Every command moves the fault to a new circuit node, then reverses that newly faulted system's physical response.
Parallax Post
A portrait-first coupled-orrery puzzle. Rotate local, transit, and deep-space address rings; each gear ratio moves more than one sky layer. Deliver six increasingly difficult celestial letters before calibration runs out.
SHEARLOOM — The Jacquard Night Works Remix
SHEARLOOM is an original portrait-first drag-place block elimination game. Three silk cuttings share one tray. Drag each fixed shape into open cells of the 8×8 loom; every complete row or column clears, preserving the familiar Block Blast hand verb.
RECOILLINE · Every Shot Moves the Battery
A standalone deterministic chain-push tower defense. Four stable cannons occupy
QUADWAKE: Every Bounce Moves the Court.
QUADWAKE is a deterministic Four Square puzzle about a ball that keeps moving while the physical court beneath it is rewritten and rearranged.
TOWLINE: Every Harpoon Moves Both Hulls
An original portrait-first reciprocal-harpoon tactics game. A cast does not drag a passive target: every paired step moves the player's tug one chart cell toward the marked hull and moves that exact hostile hull one cell back along the same public bearing. The new positions immediately determine reef damage, collision and surviving return fire.
AFTERBLADE · The Enemy Moves Before Return
An original portrait-first deterministic tactics game. A single cast samples one spatial ray twice: the bronze edge crosses it outbound, every surviving shade follows its published intent, and the ivory edge returns through the same cells after the battlefield has changed.
SPARSHIFT · Every Leap Moves the Launch
SPARSHIFT is an original portrait-first recoil-platform precision puzzle. Pip Vane leaps forward across the broken High Aviary while the spar beneath her feet moves in the exact opposite direction. The body route and the abandoned world's route are one indivisible action.
HUSHFRAME · Every Photograph Moves the Flock
A standalone portrait field-photography puzzle. Place a two-by-two viewfinder, satisfy ordered exact-composition plates, and account for the rule that every photographed bird immediately advances along its visible cyclic route. A nonmatching exposure is still a real state change.
LOCOMANTLE: The Factory Moves or Dies
A standalone Minecraft-inspired moving-factory defense game. Route a physical locomotive across an eight-station rail graph; every departure advances material exactly one wagon: Hopper → Crusher → Foundry → Lead Works. Press rail for Ironspan, recouple an Arsenal for automatic defense, and use the Rivet Rig to make the train repair itself.

QUADWAKE is a deterministic Four Square puzzle about a ball that keeps moving while the physical court beneath it is rewritten and rearranged.
AFTERCAST · The Spell Moves. The Silence Stays.
AFTERCAST is an original portrait-first three-body raid puzzle. Rook, Vesper and Serein each hold one physical rite. Invoke one ready bearer: the cast rite trades hands with the next hero clockwise, while its one-beat Aftercast stays on the original body and locks the newly received rite. The boss then performs its current public intent.
VITRINEWALTZ — The Midnight Department Store
VITRINEWALTZ is an original portrait-first goods-triple puzzle. Tap three matching front goods from three neighboring display towers. The stable goods sell in the exact order tapped; each permanent left/right price-tag arrow then swaps its entire source tower with the neighboring tower. Current elimination therefore authors the next physical adjacency.
LOCOMANTLE: The Factory Moves or Dies
A standalone Minecraft-inspired moving-factory defense game. Route a physical locomotive across an eight-station rail graph; every departure advances material exactly one wagon: Hopper → Crusher → Foundry → Lead Works. Press rail for Ironspan, recouple an Arsenal for automatic defense, and use the Rivet Rig to make the train repair itself.
LASTSEAT: Every Bell Moves the Crowd
LASTSEAT is a deterministic musical-chairs party survival game. Each public action moves Mara and advances every active Bot one clockwise mark. On the third beat, the Bell assigns every physical chair by circular distance; Mara must land exactly on a published chair to displace one rival.
TILTLOOT: Every Prize Moves the House
TILTLOOT is a portrait-first papercraft balance-heist puzzle. Guide Wren, a tiny silk-moth courier, through a hanging house where the player, held loot, loose prizes, pinned heirlooms and basketed prizes all keep physical mass.
THRUSTKEEP · Every Shot Moves the Whole March
THRUSTKEEP is a standalone deterministic mass-physics tower defense. Rams deal
AFTERCAST · The Spell Moves. The Silence Stays.
AFTERCAST is an original portrait-first three-body raid puzzle. Rook, Vesper and Serein each hold one physical rite. Invoke one ready bearer: the cast rite trades hands with the next hero clockwise, while its one-beat Aftercast stays on the original body and locks the newly received rite. The boss then performs its current public intent.
DIAMONDCALL: One Sign Moves Every Runner Remix
DIAMONDCALL is an original five-inning shared-signal baseball relay tactic. A pitch is already on the way. Pull, Center or Push contact publishes a physical landing and the defense's complete base-return schedule. After the bat, every `GO` or `HOLD` reaches every live runner while the ball advances exactly one relay beat.
