Games

Small self-contained browser games and toys, built for fun. Each one runs entirely client-side — just open and play. The stars are my own recommendation out of five: how finished and worth-your-evening the thing actually is, not how much work went in.

  • World Express ★★★★☆
    Board gameTrivia

    Roll dice along real railway maps across forty-seven boards, buy businesses in real towns, and learn something true about every stop.

    English, Spanish, French and Japanese. Installs to a phone and plays offline.

  • Life Journey ★★★★☆
    Board gameParty

    Spin your way through a whole life — college or a first job, careers, marriage, a house, and a retirement you hope you can afford.

    Five country editions. Two to four players around one screen, or against the computer.

  • Order of Magnitude ★★★★☆
    Tower defenseStrategy

    Hold the line for twenty waves a sector. Place ordnance, upgrade it between waves, and brace for the Titan at the end.

    Twelve sectors, drawn like a field manual.

  • Bomb Rush ★★★☆☆
    ArcadeAction

    Drop bombs to smash crates and wipe out every enemy, then find the exit hidden underneath. Your own blast hurts you too.

    Keyboard arcade action, one screen per stage.

  • World Tour Surf ★★★☆☆
    SportsCareer

    Paddle into world-class lineups and ride the set waves, with five judges scoring every manoeuvre.

    Two tours, from the qualifying grind to the championship.

  • Yumimoto Ladder ★★★☆☆
    Word gameLearning

    Climb the corporate ladder of Fear and Trembling one English word at a time. Four choices, and wrong cards come back.

    Sixty words across five decks.

  • Tokyo Neon ★★☆☆☆
    Open world3D action

    Steal a car and tear through the back streets of a procedurally generated Tokyo at night.

    An early build — the city is there, the missions are not.
