PERIGEE — One-Thumb Orbit Arcade
PERIGEE is a one-thumb arcade game about orbit control: tap to reverse a comet's orbit around a luminous core and thread the gap in each collapsing ring. Clean passes build a score multiplier, perfect centre-hits pay extra, and the rings keep coming faster and narrower until you miss.

SHARDWARD
SHARDWARD is a one-thumb arcade game with a single, sharp verb: tap anywhere to spin your deflector ward 90° and meet the incoming shard before it reaches the core. Read the lane, snap the ward in time, chain blocks for a rising multiplier, and charge a screen-clearing NOVA. The storm speeds up the longer you survive.

SPECTRA
SPECTRA is a one-thumb arcade with a single sharp verb: tap to shift your phase between warm and cool. Pulse-rings close in from the star's core — meet each with a matching phase or the run ends — while light-motes ride your rail and pay off only if you match them too. Rings and motes often want opposite phases at the same moment, so the skill is reading which one you can afford as the beat quickens. Juicy canvas feedback, combo multiplier, cloud-saved best score and leaderboard.

POLARIS — One-thumb polarity arcade
A one-thumb arcade with a razor-clear loop: tap anywhere to flip your core's polarity, absorb the orbs that match your color, and dodge the ones that don't. Fill the surge ring to release a shockwave, chain combos, and chase your best score. Color is doubled by shape (amber diamonds vs cyan rings) so it stays readable for everyone.

NEON PULSE
NEON PULSE is a high-speed, one-thumb arcade game. You are a glowing core in the center of the void — tap to emit shockwaves and defend against incoming energy threats. Experience intense neon visuals, proximity-based scoring, and escalating waves in this endless arcade challenge.
HEARTBLOOM
HEARTBLOOM is a one-thumb arcade game: tap anywhere to bloom a shockwave and shatter the shards closing in on the crystalline Heart at the center of the void. The twist is that your pulse also shatters the amber orbs you need — so you must read the field and choose your moment, banking multi-hit combos while spending a friendly NOVA burst that clears shards but spares your orbs.

Emberwick · چراغِ شب
یک بازی آرکید یکانگشتی با هویت بصری نگارگری ایرانی: شما شعلهٔ آخرین چراغِ یک باغِ شبانهاید که مدام میسوزد. قطرههای روغن را لمس کنید تا زنده بمانید، اما هرچه روشنتر بسوزید پروانههای بیشتری جذبِ نورتان میشوند — تعادلِ «بزرگشدن برای سوخت» و «کوچکماندن برای امنیت» قلبِ بازیست. دو زبانه (فارسی/انگلیسی)، پرتره و لندسکیپ، با دموی خودکار و ذخیرهٔ رکورد.

POLARITY — One-Thumb Arcade
A fast one-thumb arcade game. Tap anywhere to flip your charge between cyan and magenta; absorb the orbs that match your polarity to score and chain combos, and dodge the opposing hue before it breaches your core. A pure no-build canvas game with a tight flavor loop, juicy hit-stop and screen shake, and a persistent best score.
LUMEN — one-thumb shockwave arcade
LUMEN is a one-thumb timing arcade game. You are a glowing star at the center of a dark arena — tap (or hit Space) to fire a single shockwave that sweeps outward and destroys the magenta Echoes drifting in from every direction. Only one wave can travel at a time, so timing is everything: sweep a whole cluster for a PERFECT bonus and chain scoring waves to build a ×multiplier. How long can you keep the light alive?

EMBERCORE
EMBERCORE is a one-thumb orbital arcade game. Tap to flip your spark's orbit around a living core: dodge the shards, gather motes of light to charge the core, then release a screen-clearing PULSE for massive bonus. One-thumb controls, a rising combo multiplier, and heavy juice (screen shake, hit-stop, particle bursts, procedural audio) for a sharp, replayable loop.
VENOMCORE
A high-octane, one-thumb arcade game where you defend a central core from waves of toxic shards. Master the risk-reward shield system—killing enemies closer to the core triggers a toxic burst, powering your devastating Overdrive ability.
Flare
One-thumb arcade game. Tap anywhere to release a shockwave pulse — destroy incoming enemies before they reach your glowing orb. Every 10 kills ramps up the speed and chaos. How long can you survive?
Lattice
A minimalist five-in-a-row duel set on a lattice of lines. Players drop ink (black) and vermilion (red) dots at the crossings — first to line up five of their color wins. Play a friend turn-by-turn, or outsmart a sharp computer opponent.
THORN — One-Thumb Arcade
A high-stakes one-thumb reaction arcade game. Tap to fly through razor-thorn walls in an endless neon gauntlet. One mistake ends it. How far can you get?
