THE 10 GAMES

  • SNAKE — Eat cherries to grow, dodge the walls, your own tail and the mines that pile up.
  • PADDLE — 8-bit tennis against the computer. Every return scores; the ball keeps getting faster.
  • BLOCKS — Falling-block stacker. Clear full rows; every 10 lines the drop speeds up.
  • MAZE — Eat every dot while three drones hunt you. ZAP pellets turn the chase around.
  • SUB — Thrust against gravity through a blocky cave, past mines and enemy subs.
  • DEFEND — Hold the line against a marching alien formation from behind three bunkers.
  • ROCKS — Rotate, thrust and shoot drifting rocks that split into smaller ones.
  • EGGS — Handheld-style egg catcher: four chutes, one bunny, three misses and you are out.
  • RACER — Switch lanes to dodge rival cars on a road that keeps speeding up.
  • BUBBLES — Fire a harpoon at bouncing bubbles that split until they pop.

Every game has a daily and a monthly leaderboard (reset at midnight Los Angeles time). Works in any browser on desktop and phone.
