Big splits into small — clear the field for the next wave.Star DefenderSlide your ship along the bottom and blast the marching alien formation before it dives on you — dodge the bombs.Paddle BattlePong, the original.

Ten levels, undo included.Pipe RushLay the pipe before the water gets there. The next piece is never the one you want — plan the bend, fill the quota, beat the spill.Flood ItTurn the whole board one colour in 22 moves.

| Game | Shelf | Players | Scored in | How to play |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maze Muncher | Classic arcade games | 1 | pts | Steer with the arrow keys / WASD, the on-screen D-pad, or a swipe. Eat all the dots to clear the maze; grab a flashing power pellet to make the ghosts flee — then chomp them for big points. A ghost touch costs a life; you have 3. |
| Bug Blaster | Classic arcade games | 1 | pts | Move left/right with the arrow keys / A-D or the on-screen buttons (or drag), and fire upward with Space / the Fire button. Shoot the bugs in formation and the ones diving at you — divers score more — dodge their bombs, and clear every wave. A hit costs a life; you have 3. |
| Hoop Shot | Sports & strategy | 1 | baskets | Drag back from the ball and release to set the arc and power (mouse or finger). The hoop slides faster over time. A clean basket is +2, a swish is +3. Score as much as you can in 45 seconds. |
| Neon Snake | Classic arcade games | 1 | pts | Steer with the arrow keys / WASD (or swipe). Eat the glowing food to grow longer. Don't hit the walls or yourself. |

| Brick Buster | Classic arcade games | 1 | pts | Move the paddle with the mouse or arrow keys, launch with tap/space. Catch the falling power-ups. It's forgiving — a slow ball and a wide paddle. |
| Rooftop Runner | Action & reflex games | 1 | pts | Hold → to run (you only move when you press it). ↑ / Space / tap to jump (double-jump!), ↓ dive. Clear gaps and crates, grab coins. |
| Balloon Siege | Sports & strategy | 1 | rounds | Pick a tower from the shop, drop it on open grass, and it auto-pops balloons in range. Earn money per pop, upgrade your towers, and survive the rounds. |
| Mole Mash | Action & reflex games | 1 | pts | Tap or click each mole the moment it pops out of a hole — or press the number pad (7 8 9 over 4 5 6 over 1 2 3) or Q W E / A S D / Z X C, which match the 3×3 holes. Every hit scores +1. The moles stay up for less and less time as the 30-second clock counts down. |
| Drop Four | Puzzle & brain games | 1 | wins | Tap a column to drop your red disc; the yellow AI answers. Connect four in a row — horizontal, vertical, or diagonal — to win the round. |
| Bubble Burst | Puzzle & brain games | 1 | pts | Aim with the mouse or ← →, then tap / Space to shoot. Match 3+ of the same color to pop them; clusters cut off from the top fall too. Don't let the bubbles reach the bottom. |
| Star Defender | Classic arcade games | 1 | pts | ← → move your ship (or hold the on-screen buttons), Space / Fire to shoot. Clear every alien to spawn a faster wave. Bombs and aliens reaching the bottom cost a life — you have 3. |

| Tower Stack | Puzzle & brain games | 1 | blocks | Tap (or press Space) to DROP the sliding block onto the stack. Land it dead-center for a perfect stack + combo; any overhang is sliced off and the block shrinks. Blocks speed up as you climb — miss completely and it's over. |
| Hop Across | Action & reflex games | 1 | pts | Arrow keys / WASD (or the on-screen D-pad) hop one lane at a time. Dodge the cars on the road, ride the logs over the river, and reach the top row to score. It speeds up each crossing. |
| Gem Crush | Puzzle & brain games | 1 | pts | Tap a gem then tap an adjacent gem to swap them (or drag between two). Line up 3+ of one color to clear them; gems fall and cascade for combo points. |
| Astro Blast | Classic arcade games | 1 | pts | Arrow keys / WASD (or the on-screen buttons) rotate and thrust; Space (or the ✦ button) fires. Shatter big rocks into smaller ones, clear the field, and survive ever-faster waves on 3 lives. |
| Twenty48 | Puzzle & brain games | 1 | pts | Arrow keys / WASD to slide every tile (or swipe / use the D-pad). Two equal tiles merge into their sum. Reach 2048 — then keep going! |
| Paddle Battle | Classic arcade games | 1 | wins | Drag on the board (or Up/Down arrows) to move your paddle. The ball speeds up on every hit and angles off where it strikes. First to 7 wins. |
| Mine Hunt | Puzzle & brain games | 1 | pts | Tap a cell to reveal it; the number is how many mines touch it. Use the flag toggle (or long-press) to mark mines. Reveal every safe cell to win. |
| Flap | Action & reflex games | 1 | pts | Tap the screen, click, or press Space / Up to flap upward. Fly through the gaps in the pipes — don't hit a pipe, the ground, or the ceiling. |

| Stick Clash | Action & reflex games | 1 | pts | Spend gold on the buttons below the field: ⛏ miners walk to the vein and boost your income, ⚔ swordsmen brawl up close, 🏹 archers shoot at range. Your units auto-march on the red base — smash it before the enemy waves break yours. |
| Tricky Quiz | Puzzle & brain games | 1 | cleared | Tap an answer (or press 1-4). The obvious pick is usually a trap — think laterally about puns, literal wording and double meanings. Some questions are timed, and a few hide the real answer in the scene. You have 3 lives; clear all 16 to win. |
| Prison Break | Action & reflex games | 1 | steps | Read each scene and tap the smart escape (or press 1/2/3). Wrong moves get you caught and cost a life — you have 3. Clear all eight steps to break free. |
| Sniper Strike | Action & reflex games | 1 | pts | Drag to aim the scope; tap / click / Space to fire (or the ◎ FIRE button). Soldiers pop up at cover for a moment — shoot them before they duck. Headshots score extra. Watch the red AIM flash: drop those shooters first or take a hit. 6-round mag (R or ⟳ to reload), 3 lives, ten escalating waves. |
| Helix Drop | Action & reflex games | 1 | depth | Drag left/right (or arrow keys) to SPIN the helix tower. Steer a gap under the bouncing ball so it drops to the next ring — but avoid the red danger segments. Chain clean drops to charge a SMASH that blasts through rings. Deeper = faster = higher score. |
| Color Flip | Action & reflex games | 1 | gates | Tap the screen, press Space / ↑ / F, or hit the Flip button to cycle your ball through 4 colors (pink → blue → yellow → green). Each scrolling gate's middle segment — the one on your dashed lane — is the color you must be before you touch it. +1 per gate; it speeds up every 8 gates. |
| Fruit Frenzy | Action & reflex games | 1 | pts | Drag the mouse or swipe a finger across the flying fruit to slice it — one smooth stroke through several fruits scores a combo bonus. On a keyboard, move the blade with the arrows / WASD and hold Space to slice. Don't slice the 💣 bombs: each one costs a life, and you have 3. Glowing extras are worth chasing — ❄️ slows the fruit down, ⚡ doubles points, 🛡️ blocks one bomb, 💖 is an extra life and 🍏 is worth 50. |
| Splat Launch | Sports & strategy | 1 | pts | Drag BACK from the slingshot and release to set angle and power — a dotted line previews the arc. Smash the crate towers and pop every goo-monster before you run out of blobs. Keyboard: ↑↓ aim, ←→ power, Space to launch. 8 levels, each taller and tougher. |
| Word Blaster | Word & typing games | 1 | pts | Type the first letter of any falling word to lock onto it, then keep typing its letters — every keystroke fires a laser and the last one blows the word up. A word that reaches your ship costs one of three lives. On touch screens use the letter keys under the game. |
| Dino Run | Action & reflex games | 1 | m | Tap, click, or press Space / ↑ to jump over cacti. Hold ↓ (or the Duck button) to slide under the low birds. The ground speeds up the further you run; score is distance in metres. |

| Simon Pop | Puzzle & brain games | 1 | rounds | Watch the pads light up in order, then tap them back in the same order. Each round adds one more pad to the pattern. Tap the pads, or press 1 2 3 4 (or Q W A S), which sit like the pads. |
| Pair Up | Puzzle & brain games | 1 | pts | Tap a card to flip it, then another. A matching pair stays face up; a miss flips back. Every board has a flip budget — clear all the pairs before it runs out to bank points and move to a bigger board. |
| Mini Golf | Sports & strategy | 1 | pts | Drag back from the ball and release to putt — a longer drag hits harder. Or aim with ← →, set power with ↑ ↓ and press Space. The ball bounces off walls and only drops when it reaches the cup slowly. Nine holes; points for finishing under par. |
| Bowling | Sports & strategy | 1 | pts | Drag the ball left or right to line it up, then swipe up to bowl (a sideways swipe adds hook). Or ← → to move, ↑ ↓ for hook, Space to bowl. Ten frames with real scoring — strikes and spares carry forward, and the tenth frame has bonus balls. |
| Penalty Kick | Sports & strategy | 1 | goals | Tap or click where in the goal you want the ball to go — your tap also stops the swinging power bar. Too little power and the keeper reads it; too much and it sails over the bar. Or move the target with the arrow keys and kick with Space. Goals in a row are the score. |
| Air Hockey | Sports & strategy | 1 | wins | Drag your red mallet around your half of the table (or steer it with the arrow keys / WASD) and hit the puck into the robot's goal. First to 7 wins. Beat the robot and it comes back a little faster; games won in a row is your score. |
| Darts | Sports & strategy | 1 | pts | Aim with the mouse or a finger — the crosshair wanders around your aim and wanders more each round — then tap, click or press Space to throw. Nine darts, standard scoring: singles, doubles, trebles, outer bull 25 and bull 50. |
| Neon Pinball | Classic arcade games | 1 | pts | Press Space (or tap the plunger) to launch. Z or ← flips the left flipper, M or → the right; on a phone, tap the left or right half of the table or use the pedals. Bumpers score 100, lane targets 250, and lighting all five targets pays 2,000. Three balls. |
| Lunar Lander | Classic arcade games | 1 | pts | ↑ / W / Space fires the engine, ← → tilt the module (on a phone: the sides of the screen tilt, the middle thrusts, or use the pedals). Land on the green pad slowly and level to score; the gauges turn green when you are slow enough. Crash or land off the pad and the mission ends. |
| Missile Guard | Classic arcade games | 1 | pts | Tap or click anywhere in the sky (or aim with the arrow keys and press Space) to fire an interceptor that bursts where you aimed. Meteors caught in the burst are destroyed; one that lands knocks out a city. Shots are limited per wave, and a cleared wave pays a bonus for every city and shot left and rebuilds one city. |
| Tank Duel | Action & reflex games | 1 or 2 (same screen) | wins | Blue is you: W A S D to drive and turn, Space to fire (pedals on a phone). Red is a robot — or tap “vs robot” to switch to two players and a second person uses the arrow keys and Enter on the same keyboard. Shells bounce once off walls and blocks. First to five rounds wins the match. |
| Beat Jumper | Action & reflex games | 1 | pts | Tap, click, or press Space / ↑ to jump. The cube slides right on its own; clear the white spikes, land on top of the black blocks (their sides are deadly) and use the orange pads for a boosted jump. One hit ends the run. Score is distance plus 10 per obstacle passed. |
| Jetpack Run | Action & reflex games | 1 | m | Hold Space / ↑ / W — or hold your finger on the screen or the pedal — to fly up; let go to fall. Dodge the pink zappers (straight, tilted or upright), collect coins for +10 m each. The lab scrolls faster the further you go. Floor and ceiling are safe; a zapper ends the run. |
| Sudoku Kids | Puzzle & brain games | 1 | pts | Tap a square, then tap a digit (or press 1–6; Backspace clears). Every row, every column and every 2×3 box must contain 1 to 6 exactly once. Digits that clash turn red. Solve it for points that shrink with time; the next puzzle has fewer clues. |
| Box Pusher | Puzzle & brain games | 1 | levels | Move with the arrow keys or WASD, swipe on the board, or use the d-pad under it. Walk into a crate to push it one square; you can't pull, and you can't push two at once. Get every crate onto a dashed target to finish the level. Z (or Undo) takes back a move, R restarts the level. |
| Pipe Rush | Puzzle & brain games | 1 | pts | Tap a square to lay the next pipe from the queue (you can lay over a dry one). Water starts from the green tap after a countdown — press ▶ to start it early — and flows one square at a time. Fill the round's quota of squares before it spills to reach the next, faster round. |
| Flood It | Puzzle & brain games | 1 | boards | You own the top-left corner. Pick a colour — tap a button, tap any square of that colour, or press 1–6 — and every square touching your region in that colour joins it. Make the whole 12×12 board one colour within the move limit to clear it; the next board has fewer moves. |
| Slide 15 | Puzzle & brain games | 1 | pts | Slide tiles into the empty space until they read 1 to 15 in order. Tap any tile in the gap's row or column and the whole run slides, or use the arrow keys. Tiles in their home spot turn green. Points reward speed and few moves; each solved puzzle is shuffled harder. |
| Word Hunt | Word & typing games | 1 | pts | Drag through touching letters — sideways, up, down or diagonally, never the same tile twice — to spell a word, and lift your finger to submit. Or type the word and press Enter. Three letters or more, from our kid dictionary, no repeats. 90 seconds. 3–4 letters score 10, 5 score 20, 6 score 30, 7 score 50, 8+ score 110. |
