FINGERTIP

balance anything on one finger

Tap the exact spot where a weird object balances on your fingertip. Every catch makes the support thinner: thumb, pencil, toothpick, a single hair, PURE BELIEF.

How to play

On desktop, move the mouse along the object to aim and click. On a phone, touch and slide, then let go. A finger (later a pencil, a needle, spider silk...) rises under your spot. If you're close enough, the object wobbles and holds. If you're dead on, it spins like a plate. Miss and it tips and crashes, then a ghost outline shows where the real balance point was and how many mm you missed by. Letting go off the object does nothing, so sliding off works as a cancel. The run ends at the first drop. After that you can share, play again, or practice the object you dropped (P key); practice never counts. There is an Endless mode and a date-seeded Daily. Keyboard: arrow keys aim, Enter or Space places, R restarts, P practices, M mutes.

Dear Resident,

the HOA has a few notes

You just moved in and the HOA keeps mailing you rules that pile up, contradict each other and copy your choices. Keep your house compliant before the fines take it.

How to play

Open the mail. Each notice is a new rule about your house, and it stays in force until a later notice repeals it. Tap the house to comply: tap the door, roof or walls to repaint them (press and hold, or right-click, to step back a color). Tap the hedge to sculpt it, a lawn spot to place a gnome or flamingo, a window to flip its light, and the mailbox flag or the outlet post to switch them. Tap the top of a curb digit to count up and the bottom to count down. Drag across the lawn to mow and tap Gerald to feed him. One HOA day lasts one second. Miss a deadline and fines start; later notices fine more, and fines double. At $5,000 the house is foreclosed. Pass Final Inspection, issue a decree that changes your next house, and share a link that challenges a friend to beat your fines and time.

HOSED!

Water the garden. The hose has other plans: it whips, slips, surges out of your hand and thrashes across the lawn while you try not to soak the cat, Grandma or the birthday cake.

How to play

Point (mouse or finger) at a job's bubble or the thing itself. The gardener walks to a good spot. HOLD to spray (Space works too, M mutes). Water thirsty plants, the hot dog, the empty duck pool, and put out BBQ and chimney fires. Never soak the cat, Grandma, the nosy neighbour, the work laptop or the birthday cake. A soak is a whole strike, a wilted job half a strike, and 3 strikes means you're hosed. Long sprays slip through your glove. When a bulge (pressure surge) races down the hose, let go of the trigger or it gets loose. If it does, point at the thrashing hose and HOLD to grab it back. Spray the squirrel off the tap to slow the pressure creep. On game over you get an instant replay of your worst moment, a hall of shame, and Share copies a spoiler-free summary.

GLUG!

a game of pour judgment

We pour a drink into a weirdly shaped glass and you drag a line to where you think it will reach. Then the pour shows you how wrong your eyes were.

How to play

Drag the red line on the empty glass, or tap to jump it on a phone and drag to fine-tune. Arrow keys work too. Hit POUR!: the drink tips in, the level rises, and you score up to 100 by how close you were. If you think the drink won't fit, drag above the rim into the SPILL ZONE. A right call scores 100 plus a ๐Ÿ’ฆ; a wrong call loses 25 and earns a ๐Ÿงฝ. Daily Pour has 5 glasses, the same for everyone, and ends with "today's eye-liar". Last Call is endless: any pour under 50 breaks one of your 3 glasses, and sharing a run sends a link that replays the exact same glasses as a head-to-head challenge.

Nine More Minutes

Mash SNOOZE past your job, the museum they build around your bed and the last star, until the heat death of the universe. Your alarm clock slowly turns from villain into your only friend.

How to play

Mash the big NINE MORE ___ button (or Space/Enter) while the alarm rings, before the Eye-o-meter fills. Spend Zzz on comforts, helpers, defences and the next NINE MORE tier (HOURS, WEEKS ... ZEROES). Tap sheep in the dream bubble: gold ones start a frenzy, black ones wake the alarm. "get up" gives that era's ending. At 10^100 years you choose WAKE UP or SNOOZE. Being woken now costs 15% of your unspent Zzz plus your streak. There is also a daily 5-minute Power Nap with a twist (menu, intro button, or a #nap link): sleep as long as you can in 5:00. Share copies a spoiler-free emoji grid, and Postcard saves a PNG of your bedroom.
