Coilbreak Arcade
Carve wooden coils, aim across shifting lanes, and smash through 81 escalating arcade routes.

HIVELIGHT
Fly a bee through eight glasshouses. Load pollen from a bloom, carry it to another bloom of the same species, and set the fruit before the light goes — while roof vents throw you off line, spider webs shake the pollen off your legs, and a wasp works out where you are going.

Prism Spin: Overdrive
A one-thumb 3D arcade racer with 100 escalating gates—absorb weaker spinners, dodge stronger rivals, and conquer the Crown Boss.

AEROBALL RUSH: 20 Skyways
Guide a bouncing aeroball through 20 handcrafted forward and downward skyways, mastering moving platforms, sweepers, rush gates, tickets, and perfect landings.

BEETLE DERBY
Eight races around one back garden, run at the scale of a beetle: grass blades are trees, gravel is boulders, and a snail is a wall that moves. Drift the corners to charge your boost, take the dew pads down the fast line, and hold your place against four rivals who each cheat differently.

MOTHLIGHT — One-Thumb Arcade
MOTHLIGHT — a one-thumb arcade game with a single razor-sharp verb: tap to reverse your orbit. Circle a glowing lantern as a moth, sweep up light motes to score and build combos, and thread the widening gaps between rotating thorns. One brush with a thorn ends the night. Endless difficulty curve, persistent best score, and full juice (screen shake, particle bursts, near-miss chirps) in portrait or landscape.

GYRE — a one-thumb ring-rider
A one-thumb arcade ring-rider. Tap anywhere to hop outward through concentric rings — each ring spins at its own speed and direction, so hopping flips the way you sweep through drifting light and deadly shards. Periodic GYRE SHIFTS reverse every ring at once and force you to re-read the board. Chain pickups for a rising score multiplier and graze shards for bonus points.

Headlong
Professional high diving from Mediterranean sea cliffs. Declare a real dive code before you climb — somersaults, twists, tuck or pike or straight — and that sets your degree of difficulty. Then it is only shape: time the take-off to the crew's swell window, tuck to spin faster, open out to slow down, twist while straight, spot the water and arrive vertical with nothing left over. Rotation is real angular momentum, budgeted across three seconds of air. Seven judges raise cards, the middle three are multiplied by what you declared, and fifteen rounds across five cliffs decide the season.

Gravity Courier
Flip gravity to guide a courier through gates in a rotating megastructure.

A one-thumb arcade game with a sharp core loop
GRAVITON is a one-thumb gravity-flip arcade game: tap anywhere to flip between the walls of a scrolling void-corridor and thread every gap. Graze edges, grab gold orbs and thread cleanly to charge your TEMPO meter — fill it to ignite OVERDRIVE, which slows time and multiplies your score.

GLASSFALL
Lean a tower of glass and roll a marble down it. Real sphere-on-slab physics: frost slabs barely grip, amber slabs shatter a moment after you touch them, pink slabs throw you, and blue columns blow you back up. Eight towers, three prisms each, one basin at the bottom.

HULLSIDE
You are a magnetic repair crawler on the outside of an orbiting station. Trace the hull seams and hold the torch steady while solar arrays sweep past, coolant vents fire, micrometeorites land and the station turns you into the dark.

Orbit Hive
A one-thumb orbital arcade game. Reverse your drone's orbit to harvest glowing honey-cores and build a decaying combo multiplier, then risk grazing spore hazards for a near-miss bonus. Dark bioluminescent-reef visuals with full canvas juice, a 60fps loop, and a persisted best score.

KILN
Throw a pot on a real wheel. The wall is a radius profile and the clay is conserved: widen it and it thins, pull it fast and it wobbles, take it past the limit and it tears. Match the commissioned silhouette, choose the glaze, then hold the firing curve without cracking the piece. Eight commissions from a plain cylinder to a moon jar.

LUCENT
LUCENT is a tense one-thumb arcade dodger. Tap to flip gravity and thread the gap between spiked trench jaws, grazing glowing plankton to build a combo multiplier. The dive speed, the gap shutter and the hazard pace all ratchet up the longer you survive — one fluid tap, a bottomless difficulty curve.

SKYBALL
A low-gravity sport played inside a drum forty metres long with a hoop at each end. Fly, read the bounce off the curved wall, take the ball early and strike it through the far hoop — your own speed goes into the shot. Eight rival sides, each with a different way of beating you.

شِهاب — Shihab
لعبة أركيد بإبهام واحد: شهابٌ يدور حول قلبٍ في مركز الشاشة، وكل لمسة تعكس اتجاه الدوران. اجمع الذرّر لبناء سلسلة (×1→×8)، تجنّب الأشواك، واحصد نقاط القُرب. تعمل بكامل الشاشة في الوضع الأفقي والعمودي.

Glowmoth
A one-thumb arcade flight: you orbit a lantern, then tap to leap along your tangent for the next glow. Weave through glowing motes to build a ×combo — land a leap that gathered nothing and it resets to ×1. Touch a thistle or drift into the dark and the run ends. Warm dusk-garden canvas visuals, instant tap-to-retry, plays portrait or landscape.

Riposte
Historical fencing as a conversation of tempo, distance and intention — not a fighting game. Two silhouettes on a chalked piste over a real measure-and-tempo model: an attack must be answered by a parry-riposte, a counter-attack only inside a preparation, and every exchange reads as a sentence — feint sixte, draw the parry, disengage under it, riposte. Ten treatise plates teach one action each against a provost who demonstrates then tests it; then six fencers who each lie to you differently. One thumb holds measure, the other the four named lines. Baroque strings, no dependencies.

Paper Orbit
Fly ten risograph missions through ordered moving rings, gravity wells, repulsors, and paper debris.

EMBERLINE
A one-thumb arcade runner: tap anywhere to flip your gravity between two neon rails, thread the gaps, and graze wall edges to build HEAT. Max it out for a wall-shattering OVERDRIVE burst at 8x score — chasing a higher multiplier is the whole game.

Embertide
A molten one-thumb orbit dasher. Tap to reverse your orbit around a blazing core, thread the crimson shards, and GRAZE them for slow-mo combo glory — don't hit them. Chain gems, bank shields, and chase the best score in a sharp risk-versus-reward loop that ramps to shard-choked speed.

CINDER — one-thumb ember dive
CINDER is a one-thumb arcade game with a sharp risk/reward core loop. Tap to flick a living spark up through a dark cavern, catching embers to chain combo multipliers and cool-shards to shed heat, while dodging deadly cinders and nursing an overheat meter. Spamming taps burns you out, so clean catches and smart dives score big — and the difficulty keeps climbing.

ORBWEAVER
ORBWEAVER is a one-thumb arcade game: tap anywhere to reverse your orbit around a dying core, weaving through rotating red blades while harvesting gold motes to build a combo. Every 6 motes ramps the stage — more blades, wider, faster — and a 10-mote combo fires a slow-motion Overdrive for doubled points. Juice everywhere: screen shake, hit-stop, near-miss sparks, a comet trail and rising WebAudio blips. Instant retry, best score saved.
