A small arcade

Old arcade games remade, a few 8-bit tributes and some ideas of our own. Short rounds, global high scores, nothing to install. Good for a coffee break.
Arcade classics, remade
Games you might remember, rebuilt with a twist or two.
Nightfare
Drive a cab through a neon city at night. Pick up fares, beat their patience, and drift past traffic for tips before the clock runs out.
PLAY ▸Talon
Five buttons and a claw. Fly into the cavern, grab what you can carry, and get the core to the surface before it melts down.
PLAY ▸Updraft
Tap to fly, one point a gap. Every score above yours hangs across the gap that beats it — fly through somebody's name and they are behind you.
PLAY ▸Bellrush
Clear the school corridor of snacks before the bell, with four hall monitors after you. Grab a whistle and they run from you instead.
PLAY ▸Moonhaul
Lunar Lander with a cargo pod swinging under you on a cable. Land the pod, then land yourself.
PLAY ▸Bricklash
Aim, fire a stream of balls and break the numbered bricks before the wall reaches the floor.
PLAY ▸Driftbreak
Asteroids with gravity wells, and a tractor beam for throwing rocks at the enemy ships.
PLAY ▸Starhive
Space Invaders with power-ups, a charge beam and aliens that break formation to dive at you.
PLAY ▸Skyguard
Missile Command, remade. Shoot down the incoming missiles before they reach your cities.
PLAY ▸8-bit tributes
Chunky pixels, tough rules, one life at a time. Best with a keyboard.
Rockfall
Boulder Dash-style cave digging, drawn like the 8-bit original. Grab the gems, find the exit, don't get flattened. Twenty caves and five bonus caves.
PLAY ▸Redline
A motorbike run through an 8-bit cave. You only control the throttle, so pick your speed before each gap.
PLAY ▸Airshaft
A one-screen platformer in the Manic Miner tradition. Collect every lamp, reach the lift, watch your air.
PLAY ▸Our own games
New ideas, mostly built around a single mechanic.
Slipstream
A neon runner you steer with the mouse. Your craft follows the pointer; dodge everything on the track and reach the finish line.
PLAY ▸Strata
Dig down, sell the ore, buy a better drill, dig deeper. Everyone digs the same new world each week.
PLAY ▸Castaway
Turn-based survival on a foggy island. Find three engine parts before the food or the weather gets you.
PLAY ▸Sonar
A pitch-black underwater cave. Ping to see the walls for a moment, then swim from memory.
PLAY ▸Overstack
Drop blocks to build a tower. Whatever hangs over the edge gets cut off. Made for phones.
PLAY ▸Swarmfall
Survive the night against a growing horde. You only move; your weapons fire on their own.
PLAY ▸High scores
The current number one on every board.
