Micron

Linear, curated structure

You place pieces on a board to steer beat-driven energy bullets to the exit, and your solutions compose the soundtrack. Micron fuses puzzle logic and rhythm play across 63 levels with distinctive soundscapes.

Duet

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

You guide two tethered orbs rotating around a center point, dodging abstract obstacles in time with the music. A minimalist, demanding reflex game with a hypnotic atmosphere.

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Calm and deliberate

A calm Minesweeper-style logic puzzler where you clear hexagonal cells purely through deduction, with no guessing or time pressure. Minimalist visuals and soothing music give it a meditative feel.

Calm and deliberate

A minimalist black-and-white puzzler where you rotate the camera and exploit perspective to join impossible, Escher-like structures into paths for a walking mannequin.

Vectronom

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
