SUNSPIRE — One-Thumb Arcade Climb
SUNSPIRE is a one-thumb arcade climb: your sun-moth ricochets between the walls of a crystal spire and you tap to stay aloft.

EMBERWHEEL — Keep the Flame
EMBERWHEEL is a one-thumb arcade game: you are a lone ember orbiting a cold clockwork wheel, and a single tap reverses your orbit. Feed on drifting motes to keep your flame alive while dodging the frost nails riding the rim toward you — hazards always move slower than you, so the skill is choosing which way to run when they pinch from both sides. Chain motes for a multiplier, chase a personal best, and climb the leaderboard.

APOGEE
APOGEE is a one-thumb arcade game: your comet orbits a glowing node automatically, and a single tap releases it flying straight to the next node. Chain captures to build a multiplier, and deliberately skim the red hazard stars for a PERIAPSIS bonus that refunds your heat — pure timing, instant restarts, razor-sharp risk and reward.

A one-thumb arcade game with a sharp core loop
APHELION is a one-thumb orbital arcade game: you're a comet riding the gravity of stars. Tap to fling yourself free from orbit — you fly straight and latch onto the next star you reach. Time each release to thread drifting hazards and strike the core for a bullseye bonus, chaining links into a rising multiplier through a fast neon deep-space shaft. Pure canvas, works in portrait and landscape, no build step.

EMBERLOOM
Emberloom is a one-thumb radial arcade game: tap any angle and a flame-spoke sweeps there, incinerating every cinder-shard whose bearing it crosses. Turning burns HEAT and each burn pays it back, so precise short arcs survive where panicked sweeping runs dry. Chain kills for a ×24 multiplier, hold to slow the dark for a clutch save, and keep the loom alight as the waves tighten.

RETROGRADE
RETROGRADE is a one-thumb orbital arcade: you're tethered to a dying star and your only move is a single tap that reverses your spin. Weave through a collapsing debris field, chain light motes for a rising multiplier, and survive the telegraphed debris storms — with instant restarts, a best-score chase, and a full UI-free attract demo.

A one-thumb arcade game with a sharp core loop
PULSAR is a one-thumb arcade game with a razor-sharp core loop: your probe auto-orbits a dying star-core and a single tap anywhere flips its orbit direction, so you must read each incoming energy wall and thread its single gap. Walls accelerate and gaps narrow, while orbs and perfect passes charge an OVERDRIVE slow-mo — chase the streak multiplier, beat your best, and climb the leaderboard.

VESPER · Sentinel of the Evenstar
VESPER · Sentinel of the Evenstar is a one-thumb arcade game: tap anywhere to reverse the orbital spin of your ward of light, then sweep it to intercept crystalline comets before they strike the Evenstar core.

Pure no-build canvas, procedural astrolabe art, portrait and landscape, with cloud best-score and a shared leaderboard (offline fallback).

Aureole
Aureole is a one-thumb orbital arcade: you are a spark circling a living core, and a single tap reverses your orbit direction.

SHIBO846113
A one-thumb arcade game with a sharp core loop
Orrery is a one-thumb arcade game: you are a spark orbiting a glowing astrolabe core along two concentric rings.

The rings accelerate and multiply the longer you survive.

Wispway
Wispway is a one-thumb arcade game with a clear two-beat loop: a small living flame orbits a paper lantern, then tap anywhere to slingshot it across the starry indigo dark toward the next lantern. Chain clean catches to raise your combo, grab light motes to keep your flame alive, and never clip a rotten decoy or drift off into the void.

Emberweave
Emberweave is a one-thumb arcade game: a single tap weaves a glowing ember between two halos of shadow. Hazards rotate as a rigid ring field in which one halo is always passable, so the skill is reading the safe route and hopping on the beat. Chain light motes for combo multipliers, survive an escalating spin, and chase your best score.

TIDEGUARD
TIDEGUARD — a one-thumb arcade game set in a bioluminescent abyss. Tap anywhere to reverse your orbiting shield: deflect the crimson drifters before they strike your core, but let the gold motes reach the core to gather them. Because your shield blocks everything, guarding and gathering pull against each other — that tension is the loop. Rising depth, combos, and a shared leaderboard keep you diving.

Airmail
Glide a folded paper plane over sunny storybook rooftops and drop letters into flagged mailboxes. Hold to climb and trade speed for height, release to dive and win it back. Carried mail is heavy, so every delivery you make is also a decision about staying in the air.

AEGIS — One tap. Hold the line.
AEGIS is a one-thumb arcade game with a razor-sharp core loop: your shield sweeps continuously around a glowing core, and a single tap reverses its direction.

Procedural Web Audio, canvas particles, hit-stop and screen shake, instant restart, portrait and landscape.
