Control games with

Heartbeat

How to play

A heart monitor trace scrolls by. Tap, or press space, right as each beat's tall spike crosses the dotted line. A perfectly timed tap gets a bigger burst, and hits in a row build a streak. Miss a beat, or tap between beats, and you lose a heart.

Easy keeps a steady rhythm. Medium and Hard get faster and less regular.

Dash

How to play

Get the ambulance through traffic by switching lanes. Use ← → or A D, swipe, or tap the left or right side of the screen.

After a stretch of traffic a call comes in: a flashing cross appears at the top, then a crash across the whole road comes into view. Reach it and the ambulance pulls up to the patient. Every patient you reach starts a new level with faster, heavier traffic.

Traffic speeds up as you go. On Medium and Hard, cars can come two at a time.

Pipette

How to play

The pipette swings back and forth while the test tube slides along below. Release a drop with space or a tap so it lands in the tube. A drop that clips the rim still slides in. Fill the tube and a new one appears, moving a little faster than the last.

The tube is narrower and quicker on harder levels.

Immune

How to play

You're a white blood cell. Clear every germ out of the maze while the viruses chase you. Grab one of the big antibody capsules in the corners and, for a few seconds, the viruses weaken and you can catch them. Steer with the arrow keys or W A S D, or swipe. The openings on each side are a tunnel to the other side.

Clear a maze to reach the next level, where the viruses get a little faster. Harder levels have more viruses, faster and smarter, and the capsules wear off sooner.

Hop

How to play

Run as far as you can and jump the cacti. Jump with space or ↑, or tap the screen.

It speeds up the longer you last. Medium and Hard add double cacti.

Pong

How to play

First to seven wins the match, and each match you win brings a quicker opponent. Move with ↑ ↓ or W S. With the controls set to Mouse, move your mouse over the game instead. On a phone, slide your finger.

The computer gets quicker and your paddle gets shorter on harder levels.

Bricks

How to play

Break every brick by bouncing the ball off your paddle. Move with ← → or A D, your mouse (with the controls set to Mouse), or your finger. The ball launches by itself, or press space or tap to launch it sooner.

Clear the wall to reach the next level, with a faster ball. Harder levels have more rows, a faster ball, a smaller paddle, and fewer lives.

Snake

How to play

Eat the dots without running into yourself. Steer with the arrow keys or W A S D, or swipe.

On Easy you can pass through the walls. Each level starts faster.

Flap

How to play

Flap through the gaps between the pipes. Press space or ↑, or tap, to flap. The bird waits in place until your first flap.

The gaps get narrower and closer together on harder levels.

Dodge

How to play

Stay out of the way of the falling rocks. Move with ← → or A D, your mouse (with the controls set to Mouse), or your finger.

Rocks fall faster and more often on harder levels, and the longer you last.

Invaders

How to play

Shoot the marching rows before they reach you. Move with ← → or A D, your mouse (with the controls set to Mouse), or your finger. Fire with space, or keep your finger on the screen to fire automatically.

Clear a wave to reach the next level: the next wave starts lower and marches faster. Harder levels have more invaders, more bombs, and fewer lives.

Blocks

How to play

Fill complete rows to clear them. Move with ← →, turn with ↑, drop faster with ↓, and drop all the way with space. On a phone, drag to move, tap to turn, and swipe down to drop.

Pieces fall faster on harder levels. Hard hides the outline that shows where a piece will land.

Echo

How to play

Watch the squares light up, then repeat the pattern by tapping them. Each round adds one more step, and one wrong press ends the game.

Easy has 4 squares, Medium 6 and Hard 9, and the pattern plays faster on harder levels. With a keyboard on Easy, each arrow is a square (↑ top left, → top right, ↓ bottom right, ← bottom left). On Medium and Hard, move with the arrows and press space, or press the number keys 1 to 9 (left to right, top to bottom).

Mines

How to play

Clear every square that isn't hiding a mine. Numbers tell you how many mines are next to that square. Click or tap to clear, and right-click or long-press to flag. With a keyboard, move with the arrows, clear with space, and flag with F.

Once a number has that many flags around it, click it with both buttons at once (or the middle button) to clear the rest of its neighbors in one go. On a phone, tap the number; with a keyboard, press space on it. If the flags don't add up yet, nothing opens.

Bigger boards on harder levels: 8 by 8, 12 by 12, then 16 by 16. Win and your time in seconds is your score.

Lights

How to play

Pressing a square flips it and the squares next to it. Turn every square off. Click or tap a square, or move with the arrows and press space.

Bigger boards on harder levels: 5 by 5, 6 by 6, then 7 by 7. Your score is the number of moves, so lower is better.
