Emberloop
Emberloop is a one-thumb arcade game: a single tap flips the direction of the ember you steer around a ring. The twist is that the ground you leave behind chars black and becomes a hole, so every reversal is a gamble against your own trail — while cold violet rifts open ahead to force the decision. Three embers, chained gold motes for score multipliers, procedural WebAudio, and a best score saved locally.

A one-thumb arcade game with a sharp core loop
PERIHELION is a one-thumb arcade game built around a single, sharp decision: a deflector arc orbits the last star, and one tap reverses its direction. Sweep the arc to shatter incoming violet comets, chain deflects into a combo multiplier up to ×12, catch slow-time flares, and hold the line as the swarm escalates. Attract-mode demo, score chase and a shared leaderboard.

ORRERY
ORRERY is a one-thumb arcade game: a needle of light sweeps an ancient star-dial — tap to fire a bolt and strike the glowing runes exactly as the beam crosses them. Precision builds a combo multiplier and charges a screen-clearing Nova, while mashing breaks your streak. Endless, escalating, instant restart.

CATHODE
CATHODE is a one-thumb arcade game with a single, sharp rule: a spark orbits a neon ring and you tap when it crosses a glowing cyan node — but you must let the red ones pass. Charge drains constantly, so every catch keeps the beam alive as the ring speeds up and the nodes shrink. Features a live UI-free attract demo, perfect-tap bonuses, combo scoring, and a persisted best score.

A one-thumb arcade game with a sharp core loop
Emberkeep — a one-thumb arcade game with a razor-sharp core loop. You are a warden of light orbiting a dying ember in the void: tap anywhere to instantly reverse your orbit direction and steer your light-arc into incoming crystal shards to shatter them before they crack the core. Build combo multipliers, catch golden shards, and trigger a Resonance power-up that widens your guard. A deterministic attract demo plays itself UI-free until your first tap.

Emberloop
Emberloop is a one-thumb arcade game: a single tap reverses your orbit around a central hearth. Thread incoming frost shards, slip through the gap in closing frost rings, bank gold sparks to build a combo multiplier, and grab a flare to blaze through everything for a few seconds. Pure no-build canvas, plays in portrait and landscape.

RIMGUARD — Hold the Rim
RIMGUARD — a one-thumb neon reflex arcade game. Tap to spin your shield a quarter-turn and catch every glowing shard before it breaches the rim. Chain combos, land risky late PERFECT catches for bonus points, and fill the overcharge meter to unleash a screen-clearing pulse. Fast, juicy, and instantly readable.
