AINA
A fine-art light puzzle in a mirror palace at night. Tap to set silvered mirror tesserae on the diagonal and bend a warm candle's beam through the hall until every glass lamp is lit. Twelve chambers across three chapters — the Antechamber, the Court of Mirrors, and the Dome of Light — introduce amber, rose and jade beams, fixed mirrors and carved columns, up to a six-lamp finale. A deterministic beam tracer makes the title screen a live āina-kāri demo on the real renderer, and a Hall of Mirrors remembers every chamber you light. Portrait-first, pure JavaScript, no build.

SUMINAGASHI — The Floating Ink
SUMINAGASHI is a meditative fine-art puzzle about the ancient Japanese craft of marbling ink on water. Drop concentric rings of ink, comb the surface into flowing waves, and draw the stylus to open blossoms — then lift the paper to capture your print. Twelve master prints across three chapters, a koto score, a mounted atelier gallery, and a free studio, all powered by a real deterministic marbling engine. Portrait-first, pure JavaScript, no build.
Synapse Snap
A neon neural decompression game: tap and slash glowing stress nodes, chain electric pops, hit Neural Overdrive, and unwind in Zen Flow or a 15-level Pulse campaign.

Hundred-Year Bonsai
An idle garden measured in seasons. One tree, one pot, one veranda: a real L-system bonsai with thousands of leaves that grows in real time and while you are away. Prune, wire, repot, water, feed, defoliate, jin and turn it — every verb changes future growth, not the shape in front of you. Seasons crossfade from blossom to snow, judges grade your form against seven classical styles each autumn, and at a hundred years the tree is printed in ink onto a lineage scroll and passed to a successor with heirloom traits. Six species, ten pots, no fail state.

INTARSIA
A fine-art marquetry puzzle. Drag across the cells to cut each veneer rectangle so its area matches the brass pin it covers and the whole panel tiles without a gap — then pieces resolve into grain-matched wood, the seams take a glue-line, the brass polishes, and a French-polish sheen sweeps the finished panel. Twelve uniquely-solvable panels across three chapters — parquet, boulle brass-and-tortoiseshell inlay, and exotic marquetry — plus a Cabinet of everything you have fitted. The title screen is a live joiner's demo on the real renderer. Portrait-first, pure JavaScript, no build.

UKIYO
A fine-art moku-hanga (Japanese woodblock printing) puzzle. Pull a print by hand: slide each carved block to the kentō registration marks, then rub the baren across the washi and the inked layer blooms through the paper — overprint indigo over safflower and the colours multiply into new ones, exactly as a real ukiyo-e print is built. Twelve prints across three chapters — Birds & Flowers, the Great Waves, and the Floating Moon — with a koto-and-shamisen score, a live print gallery, and a deterministic press whose title screen prints itself. Portrait-first, pure JavaScript, no build.

CLAYWRIGHT
The craft of the potter's wheel, in real 3D. Centre the clay, pull the wall up, and shape a spinning vessel to match the ghost of a master form — then fire it and watch the glaze bloom from the kiln. Built on a deterministic throwing engine (every pull and push a pure function of the clay), so the title screen throws its own masterpieces and the demo is the regression test. Twelve vessels across three studios — the everyday table, the celadon studio, and the moon kiln — with crackle, celadon and oxblood glazes, a kiln shelf, and a koto score. Portrait-first, pure JavaScript, no build.
