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.
Cozy little game, when you try to cut things exactly like your customers like based on weight.

Snake, except your body is the key that opens the door. The runes on each floor stay lit only while you are lying on them. Cover four at once and the wyrmhole opens — which means the puzzle is not where to go, but what shape to be when you get there. Length is currency. Motes feed you longer, shed shrines cut you shorter, and most Sanctums need you to be both before you leave. Some rooms want a body long enough to bridge a gap. Others want one small enough to thread a gate. Fifty hand-built Sanctums, each teaching one idea before turning it against you: floors that fall away behind you, ground that burns where you have been, and things in the dark that have noticed you. Then the Endless Reach — a causeway that builds itself ahead of you and collapses behind, for as long as you can keep ahead of it. One steady tick. No slow motion, no mercy frames. You learn how long a cell takes and you time your turns against it, exactly as you always did.

You have to manipulate different shapes of sand blocks that fall from the top of the screen and arrange them in a way that they form complete horizontal rows at the bottom of the screen. The more rows you clear, the more points you get and the higher your level goes. Rotate and move the blocks to fit them better in the available space, but don't let them stack up too high or touch the top of the screen or you'll lose. This game is fun, challenging and relaxing at the same time. It tests your spatial skills, your reflexes and your creativity.
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
🔚 Deus Ex Machina is a puzzle-platformer where you play as the "god in the machine", drawing and manipulating arrows to guide a robot through treacherous industrial levels. Guide the machine. Become the god. The game features a robot/player character that auto-walks through levels, and you must strategically place directional arrows (with limited resources) to navigate spikes, gaps, and obstacles. The title plays on the Latin phrase deus ex machina—literally "god from the machine"—referencing both the player's omniscient role in manipulating the game world and the industrial/robotic theme. ## How to Play - Left-click to draw an arrow - Left-click an arrow to rotate it - Some levels limit the number of arrows you can place - Right-click to erase a block - Some blocks are permanent - Avoid the spikes - Reach the orb to win - Press "R" to restart the level ## Credits - Victor H (Music Composer): https://vhsm3.itch.io/ - Mark (Programmer): https://github.com/remarkablemark - 16x16 Industrial Tileset: https://0x72.itch.io/16x16-industrial-tileset - Kenney Interface Sounds: https://kenney.nl/assets/interface-sounds - Menu SFX Pack: https://hitrison.itch.io/menu-sfx-pack - Typewriter Machine: https://pixabay.com/sound-effects/film-special-effects-typewriter-machine-64191/

You work nights at an afterlife telephone exchange. The living ring in wanting to speak to someone who died. They never say the name. They say "my late mother, the one I miss most at Christmas," and then they wait. Ten case files sit on your desk. Four of those ghosts are on the line tonight. One of them liked snowmen and family gatherings. Work out which caller wants which ghost, then get up out of your chair and carry the plug across the floor to their socket yourself. The lines can't cross on the floor. Anchor posts lift one over another. The wiring is old, and if you hold too many live lines at once the breaker goes and you're patching in the dark until you find the frequency again. Eight nights. Three strikes each. Nobody is in a hurry - the callers have all the time there is.

A little game of steady hands. Slide, tilt, and guide a loose nut along a wobbly wire home to its robot. Hold the nut, drag it along the wire, and tilt it through every hill and dip without touching the rail. Dock it into the robot's socket to finish the fix. Six short courses teach one thing at a time: holding steady, tilting through bends, and reading the camera. Then the Workshop turns it up with rolling hills, tighter bores, and a three-crest finale. - Three stars for a clean run. Every touch of the wire costs a star. - Six courses across two chapters; each finish unlocks the next. - Mouse, keyboard, or touch: drag to move, wheel or Q/E to tilt, right-drag to orbit. - Resume any run exactly where you left it. Best stars are kept. - Built with Rust + WebAssembly, WebGPU rendering, and Blender models. Needs a WebGPU browser: a recent Chrome, Edge, or Safari on a supported device.

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.
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.
2048 is a free, open-source puzzle game created in 2014 by a 19-year-old Italian web developer named Gabriele Cirulli, who built it over a single weekend and published it on GitHub under the MIT License. It went on to consume roughly four million human lives in its first week. Not because it's complicated — it's the opposite of complicated — but because your brain will not let you stop. Here's the deal. You've got a 4×4 grid. Two tiles are sitting on it, each showing the number 2. You swipe in a direction — up, down, left, right — and every tile on the board slides that way until it hits a wall or another tile. If two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into one tile worth their sum. Two 2s become a 4. Two 4s become an 8. Two 8s become a 16. After every swipe, a new tile (usually a 2, occasionally a 4) pops up in a random empty space. Your goal is to keep combining tiles until you forge the mythical 2048 tile. The problem is that every move spawns a new tile, the grid is only 16 squares, and the moment you can't move — because every space is full and no neighbors match — you're dead. It's basically a territory war between you and entropy, and entropy is very patient. The strategy is deceptively deep for something with four inputs. Experienced players will tell you to pick a corner, keep your biggest tile parked there, and build a descending cascade along one edge — sort of like organizing a shelf where the heaviest books go on one end. The moment you let a big tile drift into the middle, your board starts to choke. You'll develop opinions about this. You'll start swiping left in your sleep. This is normal. It's free, it's open-source, it runs in any browser, and a round takes about ten minutes — or four hours, depending on how many times you whisper "one more try" to yourself. You should play it right now. You should also clear your afternoon.
