INSERT COIN

Seven games, hand-written in html + javascript. No engines, no installs, no storefronts — click a row and it's running. Press / and type a game's name to launch it from the console.

01 $ ls -la ~/games

Seven cartridges, zero installs.

Click a row to launch a game right here — ESC brings you back. The previews below are live: each one is a tiny self-playing build of the real thing.

Space Defenders

The classic last stand — waves descend, one cannon holds the line.

ctrl: ← → move · space fire

Iron Sights

Steady hands only — targets, timing, and tight groupings.

ctrl: mouse aim · click fire

Snake

You already know. Grow long, stay hungry, don't bite yourself.

ctrl: ← ↑ ↓ → steer

Graveyard Shift

The shift nobody signed up for. Things move when the moon's out.

ctrl: ← → move · space act

Banana Bros

Two bananas, one job. It goes about how you'd expect.

ctrl: ← → move · space jump

Over Hang

Stack past the edge. Physics is patient — until it isn't.

ctrl: ← → place · drop

Breakout

One paddle, one ball, and a wall that owes you nothing.

ctrl: ← → (or mouse) steer

02 $ cat build-notes.txt

No engines. No installs. Just files.

Every game on this page is hand-written html + javascript — canvas, plain js, whatever the game needs and nothing it doesn't. No engine, no framework, no storefront, no download. You click, it runs. That constraint is half the fun.

Game #08 is already in the editor. The bench never sits still for long.
