6 GAMES / CURATED ROUTES
Logic & boards
Choose an untimed board, a deduction puzzle or falling blocks with a faster rhythm. These games share compact playfields, while asking you to reason in different ways.

9 GAMES / CURATED ROUTES
Arcade & reflex
A flap, a release, a paddle move and a drawn loop can all fill a short break. Pick the action that suits your hands, then use an early attempt to learn its response.

5 GAMES / CURATED ROUTES
Racing & physics
Race through a WebGL course, guide a ball through a maze or place a moving block. These games reward watching the path ahead of the object you control.

PUZZLE NOTEBOOK / 0H H1
0h h1: solve the next tile without guessing.
Work through pairs, color counts and duplicate lines. Each deduction should have a reason you can point to on the board.
Read the field notePLAYING WELL / INPUT
Classic platform controls: learn the action before the gap.
Old-style movement often combines directional keys with a contextual action. PrinceJS is a useful example because its documentation explains those combinations directly.

SIMULATION NOTEBOOK / OPENTTD
OpenTTD: make one bus route work.
Learn the relationship between stops, a depot, a vehicle and its orders. A small service is easier to diagnose than a half-built transport empire.

PLAYING WELL / LONG SESSIONS
Incremental games: find the bottleneck, then protect the save.
Particle Clicker, Trimps and A Dark Room build different systems around repeated choices. Learn one resource loop before leaving a long-running game unattended.
