ORBITAL
ORBITAL is a one-thumb arcade reflex game: tap to reverse your orbit around a pulsing core, dodge red shards, catch gold sparks, and graze hazards to multiply your combo. A tight core loop with screen shake, hit-stop, procedural sound, and a persistent 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.

SAFEHOUSE — Night Watch
SAFEHOUSE — Night Watch is a one-thumb survival arcade: shadows called Hollows close in from all four sides and you tap a wall to flash a gas-lamp and drive them back. Manage a regenerating Lamp Charge, break the red breach rings before they seal, and chain repels to trigger a double-score LAMP SURGE. Runs portrait or landscape, canvas + procedural audio, best score saved locally.

PERIGEE
A one-thumb orbit-survival arcade game. Tap to flip your ember's orbit around a collapsing star, dodge the sweeping razor blades, thread glowing sparks for combo, and graze the blade's edge for bonus points. The ring heats up, the blade accelerates and multiplies — how long can you keep the light alive?

PULSAR
PULSAR is a one-thumb arcade reflex game: you steer a comet around a breathing pulsar sun. Tap to reverse your orbit — catch the golden sparks to chain a combo multiplier, dodge the crimson shard arcs, and protect three lives. Survive as long as you can and beat your best light-stealing run.

Fathom
Fathom is a one-thumb deep-cavern swimmer: hold to swim up, release to sink. Thread the glowing spire gaps, gather light orbs, and skim blades for bonus — your speed and score multiplier climb with every meter you dive. A sharp hold-vs-release risk/reward loop with juicy feedback.

وَمِيض — Wameed
وَمِيض لعبة أركيد بإبهام واحد: شرارة تهوي في هاوية لا قرار لها، وبنقرة واحدة على الشاشة تنتقل بين الجدارين لتتفادى الأسناخ الحمراء وتجمع الفُتات المضيئة. كلما تعمّقت زادت السرعة وضاقت المسافات، وتتنامى سلسلة المكافآت مع كل تجاوز خطر. مبنية بـ Canvas نقياً بلا أي مكتبات، تعمل باللمس في الوضعين الطولي والعرضي، وتحفظ أفضل نتيجة محلياً.

PULSAR
A one-thumb arcade game built on a single sharp mechanic: tap to flip the direction your orb spins around a pulsing core. Chase golden shards to stack a combo multiplier, slip past flaring red arcs that sweep the orbit, and survive as your spin relentlessly speeds up. Colorful canvas juice, best score saved locally.

Un jeu arcade à un pouce avec une boucle claire
ORBE — un jeu arcade à un pouce, à la boucle limpide. Ton orbe tourne sans fin autour d'un cœur lumineux : un seul tap le fait passer d'une orbite à l'autre. Capte les éclats dorés, esquive les shards pourpres, enchaîne les combos — la vitesse ne cesse de monter. Portrait comme paysage, record sauvegardé, redémarrage instantané.

فانوس — لعبة إبهام واحد
فانوس: لعبة أركيد بإبهام واحد وحلقة لعب واضحة. اضغط وثبّت لترتفع وارفع إصبعك لتهبط، ثم اخترق مركز حلقات الضوء لتستعيد ضوءك — فضوءك هو صحّتك الوحيدة. تجنّب الشوك الحادّ، واجمع الجمرات، وارفع تسلسلك كلما ازدادت السرعة. ليلٌ نيلي دافئ، جزيئات ومؤثرات، وأفضل نتيجة محفوظة — تعمل عمودياً وأفقياً على الجوال.

PIVOT
PIVOT is a one-thumb, single-tap gravity-flip arcade dodger. Tap to reverse gravity and ride the floor or ceiling to thread glowing barrier gaps, stacking a combo multiplier and grabbing gold shards for a high score. Thread gaps mid-flip for double-point RISK bonuses; one shield forgives a stumble and your best score persists.

POLLEN
POLLEN is a one-thumb arcade game with a single razor-sharp input: a moth orbits a glowing flower in a night garden and you tap anywhere to reverse your orbit. Sweep up drifting pollen to build a combo multiplier while dodging thorns — everything fires outward from the center, so every reversal is a real decision. Escalating difficulty, juicy feedback, and instant restart.

POLARITY
POLARITY is a one-thumb arcade game: a spark rides one of two charged rails, and a single tap anywhere snaps it to the other. Flux blocks never fill both rails at once, so the real skill is timing — swap at the last possible instant to trigger a SURGE dodge that multiplies your score, or play it safe and score almost nothing. Built with pure Canvas + WebAudio, no dependencies.

PIVOT — one-thumb arcade
A sharp one-thumb arcade loop. Your orb glides at constant speed; every tap pivots it 90° clockwise. Bank into emerald gems to chain combos and gain speed while dodging the crimson void-nodes. Endless survival with an escalating difficulty, a persistent best score, and full portrait + landscape play.

Ember Rise
A one-thumb arcade ascent: hold to thrust up, release to fall through the glowing cracks of falling ash-gates. The twist — holding packs a HEAT meter, and overheating makes you smolder and plunge, so you must pulse to thread gaps and chain golden embers for combos. Speed escalates every run; chase your best altitude.

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.

DEFLECTRA
DEFLECTRA — a sharp one-thumb arcade defender. Block the cyan shards with your shield, but let the red cinders through. One input, two opposite instincts: tap or drag anywhere to spin your shield around the core, land last-second blocks for PARRY bonuses, and charge a SURGE that widens your shield to three facets.

Pulse Ring
Pulse Ring is a one-thumb arcade game: a comet locked in orbit around a molten core. One tap flips your orbital direction — gather stars to build a combo multiplier, charge a phase ghost-mode that makes spikes pass through, dodge void-spikes, and chase your best score as the rail accelerates. A neon-nova toy that reads perfectly in both portrait and landscape.

EMBERFALL
EMBERFALL is a one-thumb arcade reflex game. You are a glowing ember falling through a collapsing reactor shaft — a single tap flips gravity so you thread the ember through each gate's gap. Threading the shards inside gaps and staying dead-center for PERFECT near-misses stacks a combo multiplier, while speed ramps and gaps shrink to keep the tension sharp. Canvas-based, touch-first, best score saved locally.

game
Lumen Abyss — a one-thumb bioluminescent dive. Drag anywhere to steer your glowing creature down through the dark, collecting plankton to build a combo chain while dodging urchins, mines and homing anglerfish. The brighter your glow, the harder the deep hunts you: it's a risk/reward descent with a live attract-mode demo.

FLUXGATE — One-Thumb Arcade
FLUXGATE is a razor-sharp one-thumb arcade game. A single tap flips your lane and your polarity color at the same time: thread glowing ring gates by matching their color, dodge striped hazard bars, and weave through tight double gates. Flip as LATE as you dare for PERFECT combo bonuses. Endless speed ramp, procedural gates, procedural sound, and a locally saved best score.

SURGE
SURGE is a one-thumb bioluminescent arcade game. Hold and steer a wisp of light up a deep light-shaft, threading glowing halo-rings. Thread dead-center for a PERFECT bonus, collect sparks, and climb a combo ladder — but don't clip a rim. Fully playable in portrait and landscape.

EMBERLOOP
A one-thumb orbit arcade. Your ember circles a molten core — tap to switch between the inner and outer lanes and weave through crystalline shards. Graze shards for combo heat, grab emerald motes, and chase the Overdrive multiplier for bigger scores.

ORBWEAVER
ORBWEAVER is a one-thumb arcade game with a sharp core loop: tap anywhere to weave your spark between two glowing orbit rings, gather gold motes to build a chain multiplier, and dodge magenta thorns as the loom spins faster and faster. It opens straight into an auto-playing attract demo, restarts instantly, and keeps your best score. Pure canvas, no build step.
