EMBER
EMBER is a one-thumb arcade climber. Hold to flare a living ember up a dark volcanic shaft, release to cool it and fall. Thread the glowing furnace vents to stack combos — but hold too long and you overheat. How deep can you climb?

Ember Dive
Ember Dive is a one-thumb arcade descent. Hold to dive, release to float; thread molten shards and pincers, skim every edge for a graze bonus, and fill the spark to ignite the core for 2× score. Endless difficulty ramp with screen-shake, particle juice and best-score persistence.
Ember Rise
A one-thumb vertical arcade climber. Steer a rising ember through a glowing crystal cavern, dodge shards, and catch embers to fill a combo meter that unleashes a screen-clearing FLARE. Hold-and-glide touch steering, floating score popups, hit-stop and screen shake, and a sub-2s restart.
EMBERFALL
EMBERFALL is a one-thumb vertical descent arcade game. Hold to dive and outrun the chasing Surge while building a risk-based score multiplier; release to glide and thread moving pincers and sweepers. A sharp hold-to-commit loop with escalating speed, combo chains, and best-score persistence.
NOVA
A one-thumb vertical survival arcade. Hold to burn a dying star's ember upward as a molten surge rises from the collapsed core. Thread falling asteroid fields, collect plasma to build a combo multiplier, and charge the NOVA meter to turn a fatal collision into a screen-clearing burst. Fast restarts, score + best persisted, portrait and landscape.

CINDER — one-thumb ember dive
CINDER is a one-thumb arcade game with a sharp risk/reward core loop. Tap to flick a living spark up through a dark cavern, catching embers to chain combo multipliers and cool-shards to shed heat, while dodging deadly cinders and nursing an overheat meter. Spamming taps burns you out, so clean catches and smart dives score big — and the difficulty keeps climbing.
Emberrise
Emberrise is a one-thumb arcade climb. Tap to burst a dying spark up a frozen night sky, sip warm embers to keep your Heat alive, and slip past cold shards before you flicker out. The sky warms toward the dawn the higher you climb.
SPARKRUN
A one-thumb vertical arcade ascent: one tap is thrust, weapon, and vacuum at the same time. Chase embers to feed your spark, blast ash-shards out of the shaft, and chain crystals into a rising combo. Pulse while rising for the full boost — lazy taps sink you off the bottom.
يراعة — Yara'a
لعبة أركيد بإبهام واحد: يراعة متوهّجة تصعد بين جدران الصحراء ليلًا. اضغط لرفرفتها للهروب من ظلامٍ متصاعد، وامرر عبر فجوات النار لجمع الشرارات الذهبية ورفع سلسلتك. بساطة مرسومة باليد، لمسات جرأة، وحفظ لأفضل نتيجة.
AURELIA
A one-thumb arcade ascent. Hold to pulse your glowing jellyfish upward through a dark bioluminescent ocean, release to sink, and thread the shifting reef opening as it constricts and lunges between heights. Skim the edge for NEAR, hold dead-centre for PERFECT combos — clip the reef and you're gone.
TIDEPULSE
Pulse a bioluminescent jellyfish up through a breathing reef-jaw that drifts and clamps shut around you. Stay balanced in the gap, weave the spiky hazards drifting down, and catch each fall for a PERFECT to stack combo streaks. One-thumb, score-chasing, endless arcade play.

LUMA — la montée vers l'aube
Un jeu arcade à un pouce où tu guides la dernière lueur à travers la nuit. Déplace ton pouce pour esquiver les braises, collecter des étincelles et traverser les anneaux afin de banker ta lumière : plus tu grimpes, plus le ciel vire à l'aube. Score + record sauvegardés.
Upshot
A one-thumb arcade game with a sharp core loop. Every tap flips gravity, sending a glowing ember racing through a dark shaft. Thread the vertical gaps in the cave lips, catch sparks that sit in the gaps, and chase a rising combo multiplier as the shaft scrolls faster and faster.
Cinematic view of planet Earth floating in deep (Remix)
A real-time, dependency-free render of Earth adrift in deep space — procedural oceans, drifting clouds, a golden atmospheric glow and thousands of stars, slowly rotating in a 9:16 frame. Tap "Clip 30s" to record a clean, watermark-free vertical video ready for Shorts, or save a 1080×1920 still. No build step, no textures, no CDN — the whole scene is one WebGL shader.
