SNAPJAW
SNAPJAW is a predator-arcade hunting game: you're a hatchling crocodile with a bottomless appetite. Gulp whatever fits in your jaws and stalk whatever doesn't — creep through the reeds, strike from behind, bite and run until the giant falls. Every meal feeds your bite force and visibly grows your body from hatchling to primeval monster, across four wilds: marsh, cinder fields, the midnight shelf, and the hollow badlands where apex giants roam.

HEARTLINE — One-Thumb Arcade
A sharp one-thumb arcade game: you are a cardiac core in a dark bloodstream. Tap to pump a pressure wave that bursts inbound pathogens (bacillus, virus, plaque, clot) before they infect your heart. Ride the pressure line — higher pressure pulses hit wider, but 100% means FLATLINE lockout. Chain combos, collect platelets for free pumps, and survive the escalating ARRHYTHMIA events.

Touch-first, portrait and landscape.

PulseRail
A one-thumb sync-surf arcade game. Tap anywhere to flip your pulse between two glowing rails, catch pulse gems to stack combo multipliers, and dodge magenta fold-spikes as the speed relentlessly escalates.
