BEACON — One-Thumb Arcade
BEACON is a one-thumb arcade game: you are the rotating light beam of a cosmic lighthouse. Tap anywhere to reverse your sweep, catch drifting cyan starlight before it fades to build a combo, and dodge crimson debris with only three lives. Rare golden motes pay out big and restore a life as the light speeds up.

Ember Swing
A one-thumb gravity-flip arcade game. Tap (or press Space) to invert gravity and swing a glowing ember comet through shimmering neon gates — thread the gaps, grab sparks, and graze the edges to build a streak multiplier. Crisp timing, juicy feedback, score & best saved, and it plays great in both portrait and 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.

SKYVAULT

Jump, flip and slide across a procedural dusk skyline, chaining flips, stunt rings and close calls to charge three rotating STUNT POWERS — Phase Dash (invincible, smash obstacles), Timewarp (slow-mo) and Levitate (low gravity + magnet). Ship fast, build combos, beat your best.

Gloamwing
Gloamwing is a one-thumb night flight: tap to beat your wings through a thorn-choked glade. Every flap burns the very light that keeps you alive, so you slip through tightening gaps while gathering moonpetals to refuel. Score is distance plus petals, best run saved locally — greedy flying burns out, timid flying gets you snagged.
