Evan's Remains

Evan's Remains is a mystery-thriller puzzle adventure about finding a missing boy: Evan. The game combines logic-based platform puzzles with narrative inspired by Japanese graphic adventure games. Gameplay: Every time the player solves from two to three puzzles, the story goes forward and new mechanics are introduced. The challenge of the puzzles lies in the player’s ability to figure out what do rather than solve challenges based on skill. As the difficulty curve increases, the puzzles become more complex by combining two or more previously introduced mechanics. Story: Evan, the genius boy, has been missing for years. One day, a letter signed by him is received, claiming he’s on an uninhabited island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Nobody knows why, but he asked specifically for a girl named “Dysis” to go and look for him. The player will take control of this girl, who we don’t know much about. As we follow Dysis’s adventure, questions will start to be answered little by little. All of the little puzzle pieces which seemed unrelated in the beginning will now begin to slowly fit together as the truth is slowly revealed.

Hextris

Hextris is a fast-paced puzzle game where colored blocks fall from the edges of the screen toward a central hexagon, and you rotate that hexagon to catch them on its six faces. When three or more blocks of the same color touch each other on adjacent faces or stacked on the same face, they disappear and everything above slides down. Let any stack grow past the outer grey hexagon boundary and it's over. The core mechanic is deceptively simple: blocks fall, you rotate left or right, colors match and clear. But the speed ramps quickly, and the six-sided geometry means you're managing six independent stacks simultaneously while blocks rain in from every direction. You have to think about where each color is building up, which face has room, and whether rotating to catch an incoming block will accidentally bury a color you were about to clear somewhere else. It's the Tetris problem of "I need this piece but not here" multiplied across six faces at once. Combos are where the scoring gets interesting. Clear multiple color groups in quick succession and a combo timer appears as a receding outline around the outer hexagon. Chain clears within that window and your score multiplies. High-level play is about setting up chain reactions, intentionally letting colors stack in ways that cascade into multi-clear combos when you finally trigger them. Created by a group of high school students from Boston at a hackathon and refined over three months, Hextris hit #1 on Hacker News, trended on GitHub, and became one of those games people pass around in browser tabs at work. It's built entirely in JavaScript on the HTML5 Canvas, runs in any browser, and is fully open source under the GPL license. No ads, no monetization, no installs. The flat UI design is clean and readable even at high speed, which matters when you're spinning a hexagon and tracking four incoming blocks at once. FEATURES ∙ Rotate a hexagon to catch falling colored blocks on six faces ∙ Match 3+ same-colored blocks to clear them ∙ Chain clears for combo multipliers ∙ Escalating speed keeps every session intense ∙ Clean flat UI designed for readability at high speed ∙ Runs in any browser, no install required

This game is fun, challenging and relaxing at the same time. It tests your spatial skills, your reflexes and your creativity.

Cornered

A cosy little city. A squad of cops. A thief who is always one step from the getaway tunnel. ▎ Cornered is a turn-based chase puzzle. Each turn you move one cop along a street, then the thief makes its move. Land on a thief to catch it, or box it in so it has nowhere left to run. If any thief reaches a tunnel, the case is lost. ▎ The thieves never move at random. They read the whole map and always run for the gap you left open, so every case is about planning a few moves ahead: who blocks, who chases, and when to close the net. ▎ - 50 hand-built cases across small towns, rivers and busy downtowns ▎ - Start with one cop, grow to six: later cases pit your full squad against three thieves at once, each in its own hat ▎ - Boats and cars give your cops shortcuts across the city ▎ - No timer and unlimited moves: take your time and hit the star target for a perfect case ▎ - Friendly on-ramp: the early cases teach each idea one step at a time ▎ - Calm, flat city-map art, gentle sound, and progress that saves automatically ▎ - Plays with touch, mouse or keyboard, on desktop and mobile Controls ▎ - Tap or click a cop to select it, then tap a glowing stop to move ▎ - 1–6: select a cop · Arrow keys: move the selected cop ▎ - [ and ]: ride the car or boat to its previous or next stop ▎ - R: restart · M: sound · H: help · Esc: back

Airball

You play the part of ‘Airball’ as an evil wizard has turned you into a bouncing ball of air with a slow leak! The only way to break the spell is to find the various ingredients and the spell book to break the magic curse! Work your way through the hundreds of levels of isometric rooms on your quest. Remember on each level if you stay on an ‘inflating station’ for too long it will cause you to burst! You can monitor your air level with the onscreen gauge. Using the directional controls and the jump button, jump across gaps and weave through obstacles. Get points by gathering gems during your quest, and ascend stairs by jumping, but watch out for the spikes and other hazards which will burst you! For some levels you will need to obtain special items to proceed such as candles for dark rooms, but don’t forget you are always up against the clock as you are slowing deflating, so also keep a look out for the random pumps to inflate you and buy you more time but without over pressurising and bursting yourself! Will you find the ingredients and use the spell book to lift the curse and save yourself before time runs out! Good luck Airball! Originally released in 1987 across multiple formats including MS-DOS, Amiga, Atari and others. This version is the MS-DOS version.

Bowfall

Pull back, let it fly, and watch them fall. Bowfall is ragdoll archery on floating islands. How far you pull sets the arrow's speed, damage and weight, and nothing draws the arc for you, so every shot is your own read. A killing headshot knocks the head clean off. A heavy hit to the chest shoves an archer off the edge, and gravity does the rest. The waves never end, and a warden shows up every fifth one. Coins buy permanent upgrades and new arrows, 46 to collect, from poison and hooks to a chainsaw. Clear wave 3 and the Daily hill opens: the same islands for everyone, the base bow, one global leaderboard. How high can you climb?
