Casual games here are skill games you learn in seconds and keep improving at: one tap, hold and release, rhythm and precision jumping. All are free to play in your browser. Start with Altura Stack if you want the purest one-tap test, or with
Lanthorn Platformer if you want a long adventure.
Do you want a one-button game?
Altura Stack drops sliding slabs onto a tower, and three exact drops in a row start to grow the slab back.
Heartwood Knife Throw has you split a spinning log without hitting a knife already in the wood. Rondo Ball Drop turns a tower of rings so a bouncing ball falls through the gaps.
Volant Orbit Jump has one rule: circle a rotor and tap to let go into the next ring.
Brask Ricochet fires bouncing steel balls from a swinging cannon at moving targets and powder barrels.
Roundel Color Jump hops a glass bead up a tower of turning stained-glass gates, and a gate lets you through only at panes of your own color. Six places climb from a night glasshouse to an observatory, each with new kinds of gates. From stage 2 a turning prism lets you choose the next color: you take the facet that faces down when you touch it. Gates passed in a row raise a multiplier up to x5.
Fledge Flight is a one-tap flyer: tap to beat a sparrow's wings through hay racks, orchard crates, barns and windmill sails. Dots show where it will glide if you do nothing, a brush against an edge is a graze and not a crash, and from the Orchard on you hold after a beat to glide.
Would you rather swipe?
Kerf Fruit Slice tosses fruit up at a market stall and you cut it with a swipe of one finger. A cut half keeps flying, so you can cut it again, and a quarter once more. Every ten cuts in a row raise the multiplier up to five. Three dropped fruits end the run, and a bomb ends it at once.
Its 36 stages run through six stalls, from a morning market to a lantern night and a tiled bazaar, and each stall adds a rule: shells that need two cuts, wind, frostberries that slow time, a jackfruit that hangs in the air while you cut it, grape bunches and golden peaches.
Both games have an endless mode, a daily run and a hard mode. Roundel Color Jump also races a friend up the same tower, and Kerf Fruit Slice is a 60 or 90 second duel on the same tosses.
Pipkin Cup Toss is a flick: press anywhere, flick up toward a cup and let go. The direction of the flick aims and its speed sets the distance. Three sinks in a row charge a Splash Ball, and the cup it drops into takes every cup touching it, up to seven in a full ten-cup rack.
The rack run gives you ten balls, and each cleared rack moves you to the next of six venues, each with its own rule such as wind or a sliding tray. The career is 18 duels, three rivals per venue, from a workshop to a rooftop. There is also a daily rack run, a hard mode and online duels with a friend.
Hold and release, or ride the beat?
In
Lanyard Swing you hold to hook a line and let go on the gold arc to sling forward, delivering parcels across 32 routes.
Glimwick Road Crossing hops a lantern bearer across roads, rails and rivers, and a close call counts.
Clave Rhythm has ten tracks and a loop pedal that replays your part for about fourteen seconds.
Tantara Rhythm Runner jumps to the beat of eight songs.
Platformer, fighter or kitchen?
Lanthorn Platformer has 60 levels and 5 hidden ones in five worlds, and
Rovik Platformer crosses 24 rooftop routes on recoil boots.
Lintel Portal Puzzle keeps your speed through two linked portals, and
Palinode Rewind Shooter replays your past runs as echoes.
Mettle Fighting is a martial arts duel with nine fighters, and
Cassia Cooking has you flip, sear and plate every ticket before the customer leaves.
