The main cabinets.

🧠 talks back

🍋lemon

LLM-driven · pixel art

Someone hasn't left their room in a while. You are the small voice inside them that still wants to. Be patient, be kind. A real language model plays the other side, and every run goes differently.

▶ PRESS START

anubhav, landing screen, aurora curtains over stars

🎧 play some music

Play music near it, from speakers or another tab, and watch it breathe. Eight ways of seeing sound: Chladni sand, Fourier epicycles, a pitch helix, a low-poly shoal that swims to the spectrum. Nothing is recorded or uploaded.

✳️Ananta

gita → stoics · LLM cascade

Ask anything you'd ask a wise friend. Answers draw on the Gita, the Mahabharata, Homer, the Greek tragedians, Plato, Aristotle and the Stoics. Honestly, tensions included. Runs entirely on free tiers.

▶ PRESS START

📱 2-4 players, one phone

🐦Chidiya Udd

hinglish · multi-touch · online rooms

The playground classic: finger down, and lift it only when the thing actually flies. Chidiya udd? Udd. Gaay udd? Beta bye-bye. Solo against a computer caller, 2-4 players around one phone, or online rooms with a code.

▶ PRESS START

⌨️ arrows + X

🏍️drift

road rash tribute · pseudo-3D

Race seven named rivals down a dusk highway and punch them off their bikes before they punch you off yours. Dodge the traffic, it does not dodge you. Every sprite is drawn with rectangles at runtime, no art files anywhere.

▶ PRESS START

🔥 leave it running

🔥bonfire

ambient · procedural fire & sound

A fire that actually burns down: full to embers in thirty minutes unless you tap to feed it. Fullscreen it and leave it going. The flames, the crackles and the sparks are all generated as you watch, nothing is a recording.

▶ PRESS START

🧮 no lookups

🎯andaza

fermi questions · log scoring

How many seconds in a year? How many piano tuners in Bangalore? Ten questions a round, answered as mantissa times ten to the something, scored in orders of magnitude. It keeps a running tally of whether you habitually guess too high or too low.

▶ PRESS START

🎤 allow microphone

🗣️Pratima

live MFCC · online PCA

Speak, and your voice unfolds as a drifting point-cloud manifold: 40 real cepstral coefficients per frame, projected through a PCA that learns you as you talk. Nothing is recorded or uploaded.

▶ PRESS START

📷 allow camera

🧿Simulation Cam

motion tracking · glitch overlay

Opens your camera, works out what the frame is about, and renders the tracking layer of the simulation onto that one thing: your face and hands, a swarm of insects, or a shaft of light flooded with numbers. Nothing is recorded or uploaded.

▶ PRESS START

🎧 sound on

👁️Peeche Mat Dekho

raycaster · procedural maze

A first-person crawl through the backrooms. Find the exit before the thing behind you does, and whatever you do, don't stare at it too long. New maze every death.

🤠The Iron Horse Hold-Up

WebGL · zero libraries

The one that started all of this. An Instagram reel made me ask Claude for a wild-west train heist, and out came shaders, smoke, and one determined bandit in a single HTML file. That was the moment I knew my ideas could come to life. This whole arcade followed.

▶ PRESS START

📱 grab your phone

🐍Gyro Games

tilt controls · real physics

Snake and Gyro Ball, played by physically tilting your phone. The ball bounces with real physics; the snake judges your wrist stability.

▶ PRESS START

🖥️ best on desktop

🪐Gravity Well

n-body physics · canvas

Drag to fling planets around a star and watch real n-body gravity do the rest: orbits, slingshots, and the occasional tragic collision.

▶ PRESS START

🖥️ arrows + space

☄️Asteroids

1979 classic · neon vectors

The 1979 classic redrawn in neon: thrust, spin, and shoot rocks into smaller rocks until the screen runs out of them.

▶ PRESS START

🖱️ move your mouse

🕷️Stick Spider

FABRIK IK · procedural gait

An eight-legged IK rig that wanders on its own, chases your cursor, and gets visibly bored when you stop moving. Lévy darts, Markov moods, one tap per footfall.
