EMBERHOLD
EMBERHOLD is a one-thumb arcade game: you guard a central ember with a single arc of light that never stops orbiting it. Your only action is a tap that reverses the shield's spin, so you must sweep it across incoming crystal shards before they hit. Every deflect builds a chain that raises your score multiplier — and thins your light into a needle, so playing well is what makes it hard. Gold flares are the greedy bonus; three embers and you're out.

Glowtide
Glowtide is a one-thumb bioluminescent survival game: hold anywhere to rise, release to sink through a scrolling abyssal trench. Your glow is your life — eat golden light-motes to stay lit, chain them for score multipliers, and graze coral to recharge. Dying is only ever one bad tap away, so chase your best depth.
ASCUA — Enciende la noche
ASCUA es un arcade de un solo toque: mantén pulsado para hacer ascender tu brasa por un cañón nocturno, devora brasas, encadena combos y activa el FUEGO SALVAJE (modo invencible azul). Un toque para subir, soltar para caer. Gráficos de partículas con bloom, cueva procedural infinita y dificultad creciente; jugable en móvil y escritorio.
EMBERCORE
Un jeu d'arcade à un pouce : tu es le bouclier d'un cœur de braise. Tape pour inverser ton orbite, bloque les éclats d'obsidienne et laisse filer les braises dorées qui le nourrissent. Boucle limpide, combo à entretenir, tout s'accélère.
SUNSKIP
SUNSKIP is a one-thumb arcade survival game: tap anywhere to leap between the concentric rings orbiting a dying sun, dodge rotating steel arcs, and bank mint sparks to unleash SURGE (slow-mo + double score). You only score while grounded on a ring, so every jump is a gamble between safety and points — plus a third ring unlocks as a mid-run escalation.
EMBERWICK
EMBERWICK is a one-thumb, gravity-flip arcade game. Tap to slide a living ember between the hearth floor and the cold ceiling, threading slats with a gap — skim an edge for a RISK bonus, chain a combo, and chase your best. Warm lantern art, WebAudio synth, heavy slow-mo juice, and adaptive physics so it plays identically in portrait and landscape.
PULSAR
PULSAR is a one-thumb cosmic arcade game — you're the heart of a dying star. Tap to fire a shockwave that shatters the rift-shards converging on your core, chain kills to multiply your score, and grab power-ups to outrun the collapse before your shield breaks.

Stunt Wheels
Physics stunt driving: gas, reverse, and don't bonk your noggin. 16 hand-built courses of gaps, seesaws, breakable bridges and boulders on a tiny Verlet engine — every level machine-solved and verified beatable.

A one-thumb arcade game with a sharp core loop
EMBERWARD is a one-thumb arcade defense: a single glowing ward orbits a fragile ember core, and your only input is a tap to reverse its spin — or a hold to lock and brace it wider. Time your flips to reflect incoming shards, chain ricochet them into each other for streak bonuses, and survive escalating tiers. Best score persists locally; plays portrait or landscape.

LUMEN — L'ascension abyssale
LUMEN est un jeu d'arcade à un pouce : un simple tap inverse votre élan et vous fait bondir d'une paroi à l'autre d'une faille abyssale bioluminescente. Esquivez les cristaux, récoltez le plancton pour déclencher le BLOOM (invincibilité + score ×2) et grimpez toujours plus vite vers votre record.
POLARITY
POLARITY is a one-thumb arcade game: a spark rides one of two charged rails, and a single tap anywhere snaps it to the other. Flux blocks never fill both rails at once, so the real skill is timing — swap at the last possible instant to trigger a SURGE dodge that multiplies your score, or play it safe and score almost nothing. Built with pure Canvas + WebAudio, no dependencies.
PULSAR
PULSAR is a one-thumb neon orbit dodge: tap to swap your spark across the core, re-timing every single move to dodge incoming comets and sliding sweep-spears while harvesting stars to build a combo multiplier. A sharp, readable risk/reward loop with juicy feedback, a persistent high score, and under-2s restarts.
Olive Island20
PULSEBREAKER
A one-thumb arcade reflex game. Shards converge on your energy core — tap to fire a pulse the instant they enter range. The closer you let a shard get before firing, the bigger the score, but one miscalculation costs a core. Chain combos for bigger payoffs, and chase your best.
