AUREOLE
AUREOLE is a one-thumb arcade game with a single, sharp verb: tap anywhere and a ring of light sweeps outward from your core. Burn every incoming seed before it reaches you — time one wave to clear a whole swarm, chain kills to raise your multiplier, and survive an escalating storm of swarms and armored seeds. Pure canvas, no build step, playable in portrait or landscape.

EMBER SWEPT
EMBER SWEPT is a one-thumb gravity-flip arcade runner. Tap to flip your comet between the floor and ceiling rails, thread the glowing ember shards, graze for near-miss combos, and collect embers to build your Flow multiplier across a neon nebula tunnel. Three lives, escalating speed, and a persistent best score keep the loop sharp.

VIGIL
VIGIL is a one-thumb arcade survival game with a sharp core loop. Tap to fire a fast pulse ring, hold to charge a flare blast, and keep the last ember alive as void-shards converge from the dark. Every shatter feeds a decaying combo multiplier — chase a new best score.
ARC CELL
One-thumb repulse arcade. Tap to emit a shockwave from your core that blasts enemies outward. Smash them into the arena wall for points. Chain combos, charge your Mega Pulse, and survive increasingly aggressive waves. A razor-sharp core loop — time your taps, splat your targets, reach for the high score.
BEYOND — Void Runner
An atmospheric one-thumb arcade game: your lone orb orbits a dying ember star while void shards stream inward, its own ring track lined with faint orbit rings. Tap to hop between rings, dodge the shards, and collect glowing embers for combo bonuses. Pure canvas, portrait + landscape, quick restarts, and a persisted best score.
Une Girafe à Paris
A single-image art showcase built around a giraffe standing in front of the Eiffel Tower at golden hour. Elegant Cormorant Garamond typography, a tap-to-expand full-screen lightbox, and a responsive layout that reads beautifully in both phone portrait and landscape.

Ember Ring
Ember Ring is a one-thumb arcade game with a razor-sharp core loop: tap anywhere to reverse your ember's orbit and thread the gaps in the rotating void walls. Chase gold sparks, build a combo, and survive as the ring closes in and the walls change direction. Pure HTML5 canvas — no build step, plays in portrait and landscape.

A one-thumb arcade game with a sharp core loop
LUMEN is a one-thumb arcade game about light. Tap the left or right half of the screen to spin a ring of light around your core: its solid arcs must BLOCK crimson shards, while its open gap must ADMIT golden motes. Chain correct blocks and admits into a rising multiplier, fill the resonance meter to release a cleansing Nova, and survive as the shardstorm speeds up. Two rules, one thumb, no tutorial needed.

GYRE — One-Thumb Orbit
GYRE is a one-thumb arcade game: tap anywhere to reverse your orbit and thread collapsing rings of dark matter as they spin and close in on the hub. Speed, density and rotation escalate with every few gates, razor-thin grazes pay bonus points, and a charged shield buys you one second chance. Pure canvas, no build step — plays instantly in portrait or landscape.
