MALAM
The Javanese art of batik, made playable. Draw hot wax to seal a colour, dip the whole cloth into the next dye down a deepening chain, then boil the wax away to reveal a symmetric masterwork veined with crackle. One canting stroke blooms across the wallpaper symmetry, so you wax only a single folded motif. Twelve cloths across three traditions — the kawung palm-sugar grid, the ceplok star medallion, and the graded indigo rain-clouds of Cirebon — scored with a gamelan. The deterministic dye engine is both the attract demo and its own regression test. Portrait-first, pure JS, no build.

MANDALA
The art of the poured sand painting, made playable. Pour coloured sand into the folded wedge and every grain blooms symmetrically across all the petals at once. Match the printed chart, then watch the finished mandala sweep away to the winds — the ritual of impermanence. Built on a real dihedral-symmetry engine (one pour, mirrored up to twenty-four ways), so the title screen paints its own masterworks and the demo is the regression test. Twelve mandalas across three traditions, with a singing-bowl score, a shrine gallery, and a free sand studio. Portrait-first, pure JavaScript, no build.

LUMEN
A fine-art stained-glass restoration puzzle. A shattered cathedral window has had its lead came knocked askew — turn each glass pane to rejoin the tracery, and as the seams reconnect the glass brightens until sunlight floods through and the rose is whole again. Twelve rose and lancet windows across three chapters, hand-drawn antique glass and gothic lead work, an antique glass-bell score, a glazier's gallery of restored windows, and a deterministic engine whose title screen restores itself. Portrait-first, pure JavaScript, no build.

CLAYWRIGHT
The craft of the potter's wheel, in real 3D. Centre the clay, pull the wall up, and shape a spinning vessel to match the ghost of a master form — then fire it and watch the glaze bloom from the kiln. Built on a deterministic throwing engine (every pull and push a pure function of the clay), so the title screen throws its own masterpieces and the demo is the regression test. Twelve vessels across three studios — the everyday table, the celadon studio, and the moon kiln — with crackle, celadon and oxblood glazes, a kiln shelf, and a koto score. Portrait-first, pure JavaScript, no build.

Zen Stone Ripple
A mobile-first timing and relaxation game. Tap when the expanding ripple reaches the target ring around the active stone. The attract loop uses the same timing engine with an autopilot tapper and no DOM UI. The first touch starts a fresh real run and only then reads or writes best-score storage.
Magnetic Zen Stone 3D
Portrait-first pseudo-3D physics game. Drag and release a zen stone across a magnetic sand table, flip the field between pull and push, and settle the stone on glowing target rings.
Zen Rope Garden
A portrait-first relaxing rope-cut puzzle. Slice hanging vines so the brass bell
