EMBERDASH
EMBERDASH is a one-thumb vertical-shaft arcade game. Tap to flare a glowing ember upward, thread the neon gate gaps, dodge falling coals, and graze sparks to charge a screen-clearing FLARE. Fast tap-to-retry restarts, a persistent best score, escalating difficulty, and an original chiptune soundtrack that speeds up as you climb.

EMBERFALL
EMBERFALL is a one-thumb vertical ascent arcade game. Hold to thrust a living ember upward while its flame constantly burns down — collect fuel sparks to stay alive, rise above or drop below shadow blocks, and graze their edges for CLOSE! near-miss bonuses. Chain combos for score and reach the brightest depth. One thumb, everything.

EMBERWICK
A one-thumb ember climber: hold to rise, release to sink, then thread dark rock rows and skim their edges to feed a graze-combo. Collect glowing embers to charge an invincible flash-dash while a rising darkness chases you low. An original canvas arcade game built around a sharp risk-versus-reward loop.
