itch.io

Update: now at 16 games — added Block Puzzle (Block Blast-style grid puzzle, drag-free tap+D-pad controls with rotate). All games still fully playable in-browser here, no downloads needed.

Update: all 15 games now have proper itch.io pages — cover images, descriptions, screenshots, and working fullscreen browser embeds for every one. Cleaned up a batch of broken "downloadable" embeds along the way that had no run button. Everything's playable directly here now, no downloads needed.

"Small update: added a Hint system to Chess — 3 hints per game, highlights the correct move's from/to squares rather than playing it for you. Trying to keep it useful without making the game trivial. More per-game upgrades coming as I work through the rest of the collection."

Small update — added an alpha-beta pruning AI to the Checkers game so it actually puts up a fight now. Working on similar difficulty tuning for a couple of the other games this week. Would love feedback if anyone tries it out.

Thanks for checking it out! Good points - high scores and a proper backend are definitely things I want to add next, right now it's all client-side/local for simplicity while I get the games polished. The plan is to eventually add ads once things are more stable, but honestly a big part of this has been a learning process too. Appreciate the feedback, really helpful to know what people expect from these!

Hi everyone! Over the past couple of weeks I've been building out a collection of 10 browser games from scratch — currently at Chess (minimax AI), Sudoku, Snake, 2048, Whack-a-Mole, Minesweeper, Solitaire, Connect Four, Tic Tac Toe, and Memory Match.

The trickiest part so far has been getting the Chess AI to actually play well instead of random moves — still tweaking the minimax depth for better performance vs speed.

Planning to keep polishing based on feedback and adding more games over time. Would love thoughts on what's working and what isn't.
