A one-thumb arcade game with a sharp core loop
PULSAR is a fiery one-thumb arcade game. You are a cosmic pulsar — tap to emit searing blast waves that destroy incoming enemies. Manage your HEAT gauge: pulse too fast and you'll OVERDRIVE (briefly invincible with super-powered pulses), then STALL (can't pulse while cooling down). Collect stellar fragments dropped by destroyed enemies to restore your core integrity. Survive the SOLAR FLARE event for bonus fragments and mayhem. Features chain combo scoring, 4 enemy types (Spark, Ember, Sol, Photon), gold/red-hot neon aesthetics, and local high-score persistence.

GRAVEWING — Salvage War
GRAVEWING — Salvage War: a mission-based arena gunship shooter you fly with one thumb. The guns fire on their own, so your only decisions are where you fly and when to dump stored heat into a swarm-clearing VENT blast — vent at 95% heat for a huge area hit, or play safe and risk the gun lockout. Five operations, six hostile types, a two-phase boss, and ten stackable salvage upgrades between missions.

Emberwake
Emberwake is a one-thumb arcade climb: hold to thrust your ember upward, release to glide and cool. Running hot multiplies your score up to ×3, but fill the heat gauge and you burn out — while a rising tide of cold water chases you from below. Grab glowing cinders to bank points and shed heat.
