EMBERGLASS
The craft of hot glass, made playable in hand-lit pixel art. Gather a glowing gob from the furnace, blow it round, drag the wall to shape it, and roll it in colour to match a master form — then set it in the annealer and watch it cool into translucent, jewel-toned glass. Heat is the clock: shape it before it sets, and don't over-blow or the bubble bursts. Built on a deterministic hot-glass engine, so the title screen blows its own masterpieces and the demo is the regression test. Twelve commissions, three collections, and a glowing vitrine of your work. Portrait-first, pure JavaScript.

SHIBORI
The Japanese art of indigo resist-dyeing, made playable. Fold the cloth, clamp the resist over each region, then plunge the whole cloth through the ai vat — deeper with every dip. Clamp on time and a region keeps its shade; miss the moment and the indigo drinks it darker. The fold IS the symmetry, so one clamp blooms a kaleidoscopic pattern across the opened cloth. A real fold-symmetry engine drives it — clamp-then-dip is both demo and regression test. Twelve cloths across three traditions — itajime, kumo, arashi — with a rin-bell score, a cloth gallery, and a free dye studio.

Farlight — Quiet Orbits
A meditative space-exploration game in WebGL2, made for phones. Survey all seven seeded worlds of a quiet system — steer and thrust with one thumb, scan each planet for a line of a forty-year-old signal, and fold between orbits. No fail state, no timers: just a slow, luminous journey to a lullaby.

Drystone
On a northern English fell the walls are down, and there is no mortar coming. Drystone is a physics game about fitting irregular hand-inked stones: no grid, no snapping, no two alike — only weight, friction and the judgement in your fingers. Break every joint one over two, pour hearting into the core, tie the faces with through-stones, set the copes. Then let go. The years run: gales lean on exposed stone, frost prises at every lazy joint, the ground settles under a hollow core, and Herdwick ewes shoulder her to see if she gives. Eleven commissions. Longevity is the only score.
