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

Neverball

Neverball is a 3D ball-rolling game in the lineage of Marble Madness and Super Monkey Ball. You guide a ball through obstacle courses by tilting the ground beneath it using your mouse, keyboard, or joystick. The ball has real physics and real momentum, which means every slight tilt matters, every overcorrection sends you careening toward an edge, and every narrow bridge becomes a test of nerve. The floor moves. The ball reacts. You try not to fall into the void. Each level has a simple goal: collect enough coins to activate the exit pad, then reach it before time runs out. Yellow coins are worth 1, red coins 5, blue coins 10. Collect 100 total and you earn an extra life. The levels start gentle enough, teaching you how the tilt-and-roll relationship works. Then they introduce moving platforms. Then mazes. Then pushers that shove your ball sideways. Then narrow ramps over bottomless drops with moving obstacles and a 30-second timer. The difficulty curve goes from "pleasant Sunday puzzle" to "controller-gripping precision platformer" across 183 levels. Three highscore categories per level reward different playstyles: most coins collected, fastest time to unlock the goal, and fastest time to complete the level. Speedrunning and coin-optimization runs require completely different approaches to the same course, which gives every level at least two reasons to replay it.

Teeworlds

Teeworlds is a fast-paced 2D multiplayer shooter where you control a "Tee" — a ball-shaped character with eyes and feet — across side-scrolling platform maps, fragging up to 15 other players with an arsenal borrowed straight from the arena shooter playbook. You spawn with a hammer and a pistol. Scattered across the map are a shotgun, grenade launcher, laser rifle, and the occasional ninja sword power-up that lets you slash through everything in your path. Health and shield pickups keep you alive. The grappling hook keeps you moving — swing from ceilings, slingshot across gaps, or hook an enemy player and drag them into your hammer range. The movement is where Teeworlds clicks. Double jumps, wall slides, and the grappling hook combine into a physics system that's deceptively deep. New players can jump in and have fun immediately, but high-level play looks like a completely different game — players whipping across maps at absurd speed, threading grenades through gaps mid-swing, hooking opponents out of the air. Easy to learn, genuinely hard to master.
