Arcade games

One input, no instructions, and a run that ends. Voltfall is ours and it is the purest version of it: dodge the falling geometry, and the game gets faster the longer you survive, which means every run ends by being good at it for slightly too long.

The rest of the shelf is broader than that — Castle Island Clicker Game barely needs you at all, and Fallingman.io - Winter Seasons drops a crowd of you into an obstacle course together. What holds it together is that nothing here asks you to read anything before you start.

This is the right shelf for five minutes. It is the wrong one if you want something to come back to tomorrow; try Idle or Strategy for that.
