Snake
The Nokia legend. Eat, grow, don't crash. On-screen D-pad for mobile, arrow keys on desktop. High score saved locally.
Tetris
Real Tetris physics — wall kicks, hard drop, level-based speed scaling. The most-played video game of all time, free in a tab.
Pong
The original arcade tennis. Three difficulty levels, first to 7 wins.
Asteroids
Vector-style space-rock destruction. Thrust, rotate, shoot, don't get hit.
Breakout
Brick-breaker classic. Mouse, drag, or arrow keys all work.
Frogger
Cross the road, ride the logs across the river. Don't get hit. Don't fall in.
Galaxy Shooter
Space Invaders-style alien grid. Move side-to-side, dodge, shoot. Each wave gets faster.
Pinball
Real elastic-collision physics. Z and / for flippers. Three bumpers, one ball.
Whack-a-Mole
30 seconds of reflex bashing. Watch out for bombs — they cost 3 points.
Doodle Jump
Bounce up, don't fall. The vertical platformer that defined mobile gaming.
