Nine games, three thumb taps each
Every one rests on a single idea you understand before the first round is over.
- 1 to 6 · onlineUpper90
You shoot at goal. Every goal plants a glove in front of the net — for good. The more you score, the less room is left.
- 1 to 6 · onlinePylon
Air racing from above. You're at full throttle by default: here, the skill is easing off.
- 1 to 10 · onlineSteeple
Horse racing over jumps. Push too early and there's nothing left in the legs at the line.
- 1 to 6 · onlinePitch
Boules by the real rules. Point, shoot, drop short — and the replacement shot if you've got the touch.
- Solo · 30 coursesBank
A course where the wall isn't an obstacle, it's the route.
- Solo · 29 KBOrbit
A shot into starlit emptiness. The planets don't block you — they bend the ball.
- 2 players · one screenKickr
Table football from above. One bar for two players, each holding an edge of the phone.
- 1 or 2 · onlineBlitz
Twenty seconds to place your regiments, then the battle. You have to reach the other general.
- 2 to 6 · onlineMercato
A transfer window run as an auction with 97 real players. Five seconds without a bid and it's sold.
One phone, several hands
Most of these are played by several people around the same device. That was the starting point, and it shaped everything: rounds of about three minutes, controls that fit under one thumb, and no waiting your turn for a quarter of an hour.
Six of the nine also play online, with a room code, each person on their own device. Every device shows only its own buttons — you can't play for your neighbour.
