A small, no-objective isometric builder for whitewashed Mediterranean villages that was designed touch-first rather than retrofitted for it — tap to place, drag to brush, a real long-press to erase, pinch to zoom — undercut mainly by a slow, heavy first load.
7.5 / 10
A js13k 2023 entry that turns a viral fake mobile-game ad into a real, tightly-designed arithmetic puzzle — tap the bigger number to kill it, absorb its power, and watch a simple rule grow into an elemental rock-paper-scissors puzzle across 29 hand-built levels.
7.5 / 10
A landmark 2014 "playable post" by Vi Hart and Nicky Case that turns Schelling's model of segregation into a scrollable essay you interact with directly — drag unhappy triangles and squares around a grid and watch a mild, individual bias for "some sameness" spiral into total segregation, with nothing more than simple rules and honest math.
7.5 / 10
A js13k 2018 Mobile category winner that turns Star Citizen's seamless planet-to-planet flight into a tiny 2D platformer — land carefully, walk the curved surface of five distinct worlds, and use a sound-based radar to hunt down the satellite station on each one.
7.5 / 10
A side-scrolling shmup in the River Raid/Xevious mould, built on the LittleJS engine - confirmed working correctly on both touch (a real d-pad drag and fire-button press moved the ship and fired) and keyboard, shipped here with the same missing-viewport-tag fix as its stablemates.
7.5 / 10
A free reading-habit companion that turns finished books into a growing pixel-art garden, tended by a Siamese cat named Grimalkin — released yesterday, built by a working novelist, and refreshingly upfront about having no ads, no energy bars and no dark patterns.
7.5 / 10
A 2015 Kongregate clicker that grew into one of the incremental genre's most durable idle RPGs by making its faction choice actually change how you play, not just which number gets bigger.
7.5 / 10
A free bullet-hell MMO that's been asking the same brutal question for fourteen years — how far will you push a character you can never get back — and somehow still gets away with graphics that looked deliberately retro even in 2012.
7.5 / 10
A circular, emoji-reeled slot machine where the payout is decided by your reflexes, not a random number generator — every action lives on a single global tap, confirmed working end to end on a real touchscreen, and there is no real money anywhere near it.
7.5 / 10
A clean, well-produced Snake — eat apples, grab gold, avoid the walls, with a VERSUS mode alongside the classic solo grind. The virtual analog stick that steers it was confirmed here to change direction correctly by watching the snake's own state respond to a drag, not just by reading that a d-pad exists.
7.5 / 10
A pseudo-3D Pole-Position-style racer built on the LittleJS engine - confirmed genuinely playable on touch via a fallback stick control, with a real touch drag taking speed from 0 to 174mph and score from 0 to 2380, shipped with the same missing-viewport fix as its stablemates.
7.5 / 10
A short, funny murder-mystery point-and-click adventure judged 10th of the entire js13k 2022 field for gameplay — confirmed working by tapping a suspect directly and getting a distinct, written response, though its navigation arrows are genuinely too faint to see.
7.5 / 10
Nicky Case's 2017 interactive explainer turns the iterated prisoner's dilemma into a 30-minute playable argument about why cooperation breaks down — and how it can be rebuilt — using nothing but a handful of tap-driven choices and a running tournament of computer opponents.
7.5 / 10
A tower-defence game, a factory incremental and a scripting sandbox welded into one free island, where the real endgame is writing the AI that plays it for you.
7.5 / 10
A free browser incremental that has been running since 2015 — trap creatures, build a war economy out of them, and watch a soft-reset loop of zones, portals and heliums turn into one of the deepest progression systems the genre has ever built.
7.5 / 10
A meditative js13k 2020 entry about drawing a trail through a hand-illustrated world and looping it around things if you feel like it — no score pressure, no fail state, just a soft pastel scene and a line that follows your finger exactly where you take it.
7.5 / 10
A snake-vs-snake clone that started as university coursework and grew a genuine neuroevolution-trained AI opponent, several multiplayer modes, and a touch d-pad built from a repurposed QR code image.
7.4 / 10
A clean, correctly-implemented Checkers built on Frank Force's LittleJS engine, using the same tap-to-select-then-tap-to-move scheme as its Reversi sibling in this collection — confirmed working identically on phone touch and desktop mouse, with a real AI opponent that is noticeably slower to think than Reversi's but does complete every move tested.
7.4 / 10
A match-3 puzzle with levels, objectives, and power-ups, whose drag-to-swap touch gesture was confirmed working correctly - after discovering the game requires a genuine held drag rather than two separate taps to swap tiles.
7.4 / 10
A short, deadpan-funny Bitsy game where you play a robot vacuum wandering an office, narrating the dust and debris it finds — confirmed working by swipe on phone and by keyboard on desktop.
7.4 / 10
A from-scratch, Candy Crush-style match-3 with generic shapes instead of licensed candy art, four toggleable modes, and touch-drag swap controls confirmed working via genuine live-state verification on both phone and desktop.
7.4 / 10
A clean, classic box-pushing puzzle with seven hand-built levels, whose touch controls needed a missing viewport tag fixed before they'd work at all — but are solid once that's done.
7.4 / 10
A pocket-sized, wordless-but-witty space adventure where you explore a stricken spacecraft by pressing and holding, told entirely in flat vector silhouettes.
7.4 / 10
A genuinely polished mahjong solitaire with provably solvable boards, hand-drawn tile faces, and a thoughtful mobile layout that scrolls rather than crushing tiles — confirmed to actually match tiles correctly on both phone and desktop.
