Games

10 small games, one per trade. A chef’s memory, a surgeon’s hand, a pilot’s fuel gauge. Each takes about a minute, runs in the page, and needs no account and no download.

They are deliberately old-fashioned — a snake, a lander, a stacker, a code-breaker — and all of them were written for this site and are served from it. Nothing here loads from anywhere else, and nothing here follows you around. Your best scores are kept in your own browser and never sent to us.

Steady Hand Move the probe from one end of the incision to the other without touching the sides. Precision Play
