About these mini games
Five small arcade games written in plain JavaScript on a single HTML canvas: a brick breaker, a Pong clone against the computer, a Space Invaders tribute, an endless runner, and a falling-object catcher. There is nothing to install and no account to create - pick a game, press Start, and play.
The five games
- Breakout - clear every brick with the ball. The paddle follows the mouse, your finger, or the left and right arrow keys, and the ball launches on a click, a tap, or Space. Each cleared level adds a row of bricks and speeds the ball up; you get three lives.
- Pong - first to seven points against the computer. Your paddle is the blue one on the left and follows the mouse, your finger, or the up and down arrow keys. The rebound angle depends on where the ball hits the paddle, so aim with the edges.
- Space Invaders - a tribute to the 1978 original: an alien fleet steps sideways and drops a row every time it reaches a wall, speeding up as you thin it out. Move with the mouse, your finger, or the left and right arrow keys, and fire with a click, a tap, or Space. Three bunkers absorb the bombs until the aliens themselves grind them away, and each cleared wave starts lower and faster.
- Runner - an endless run where you play a small yellow chick and the only control is the jump: click, tap, Space, or the up arrow, with a second press for a double jump. Speed rises with distance, and the coins floating above the track are worth extra metres.
- Catcher - move the basket to catch the blue drops and let the red ones fall. Every five catches in a row raise the multiplier; catching three red drops ends the run.
Controls
Every game accepts the three input methods at the same time, so a laptop, a mouse, and a phone all work without switching a setting. Press P or the Pause button to pause, and the game pauses on its own when you scroll it out of view or move to another tab.
Good to know
