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.
Luminary — Star Battle
A beautiful Star Battle logic puzzle set against a night sky. Place one star in every row, column, and coloured region — and no two stars may touch, not even diagonally. Every sky is uniquely solvable by pure deduction. Vector art, synth audio, standalone.
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?

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.

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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
COREPULSE
Un jeu d'arcade minimaliste « à un pouce » : contrôlez une onde de choc pour protéger votre noyau contre des vagues d'énergie croissantes. Précision, combos et survie.

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.

Needle Thread
A minimalist logic puzzle of tightly packed sewing needles. Tap them in the right order so each needle's tip threads through another needle's eye and slips off the board without colliding — 400 generated levels from Easy to Expert, with limited hearts, a hint system, and a satisfying thread-and-slide animation. Fully offline.
