A genuinely substantial side-scrolling shoot-em-up built on Andy Balaam's Smolpxl engine - real enemy variety, projectiles, and a scrolling city backdrop, confirmed working via a real scored kill on desktop and a real fired bullet on phone.
7.7 / 10
A tiny local light-cycle game (human vs. bot) built on Andy Balaam's Smolpxl engine - confirmed genuinely working via real directional turns on both desktop and phone, forming clean L-shaped trail corners exactly matching the input sequence.
7.3 / 10
A charming, instantly-readable Pac-Man homage built in Rust and WebAssembly — eat every apple in the maze while dodging a ghost, faster clears score more — confirmed to control flawlessly on both touch and desktop with no bugs anywhere.
7.1 / 10
A gentle, timer-based maze-escape puzzle with a nice pushable-wall twist and helpful contextual hints — confirmed working on touch and keyboard alike, but marred by the same cosmetic "undefined" button-label bug already flagged in this engine's Snake entry.
6.5 / 10
A charming compress-and-launch physics toy from the smolpxl teaching engine — genuinely fun and confirmed working on touch and keyboard alike, but marred by a pervasive "undefined" text bug that appears the moment you touch the screen.
6.5 / 10
A minimalist Snake built on a teaching engine with a real, touch-native on-screen control pad -- confirmed working, but paired with an unusually punishing pace and a visible cosmetic bug.
6.3 / 10
A very simple tap-to-drop-water timing toy — confirmed genuinely functional on touch and keyboard, but shallower than its stablemates and, contrary to what we expected going in, still hit by the same "undefined" text bug found across this small games family.
