What’s new

Tap to throw a blade into a turning log, and never hit one that is already in. Clear the stage and the log bursts apart; later logs wobble, stop and spin back, apples on the rim are worth a bonus, and every fifth stage is a boss log that lurches in fits and starts.

An archery duel across two hills. Drag back like a bowstring and let go — the arrow flies in a real arc and the wind pushes it — then watch your rival's arrow come for you. Head shots hurt most, time slows as an arrow closes in, and every duel you win brings a sharper rival, further off, in a stronger wind.

Naval combat from above, made for two thumbs. Slide your gunship along the bottom of the screen and tap the sea to fire — shells arc over and land a moment later, so lead every moving ship. Dodge the red rings where their shells will fall and the white wakes of torpedoes, sink destroyers, submarines and gunboats, and every fifth wave knock out a flagship's turrets one by one.

Start as one runner and turn it into hundreds. Steer your crowd through the gates — blue ones add and multiply, red ones take away and divide — dodge the saws and walls, beat rival crowds one for one, and storm the giant at the end with more runners than its strength. Whoever is left climbs the steps for a coin multiplier, and your level is kept for next time.

A neon brick breaker made for a phone held upright. Slide your finger anywhere and the paddle follows; tap to launch. Aim with the edge of the paddle, set off red blast bricks to clear whole patches, melt steel with a fireball, and chain bricks without touching the paddle for up to eight times the points. Every level is a new shape, and broken bricks drop multi-ball, lasers, a wide paddle and more.

A vertical space shooter built for a phone held upright. Drag anywhere and your fighter follows — your finger never covers it — while its guns fire on their own. Thread waves of darts, divers, gunships and spinners through gaps you would not believe fit, since only the small red core can be hit. Every cleared wave drops a power core for wider guns, and every sixth wave a carrier comes with patterns of its own.

A new arcade game played with one finger and no buttons at all. Tap anywhere and you dash there in a straight line, cutting every foe on the way; hold your finger down and time slows while you aim the next strike. Every cut gives you a dash back, so the way to survive is to keep cutting — around shields that turn the blade, through shots that cannot touch you mid-dash, and into yellow foes that blow up and take the crowd with them.

GetCityCrazy drives the same way as the racing games now: hold the stick to go, drag to steer, pull back to brake or reverse, with just two big buttons on the right — DRIFT and OUT. In Traffic Escape the arrows are gone from a phone, because a tap on either side of the road already changes lane; the one button left is a big ⚡ for turbo. And Canyon Glide moves its climb, dive and boost buttons under the board, as wide pads, so nothing covers the canyon.

You told us juggling the stick, the gas, the brake and the drift button at once was tiring, so on a phone the driving games now drive with one thumb. Hold the stick to go, drag to steer and pull back to brake; the other thumb gets one big button for what makes the game fun — DRIFT in Drift Master, NITRO in Hill Climb, DRIFT and NITRO in Mento Nightline, where the gas is now automatic. Apex Run and Cargo Run need nothing else at all. In Parking Master and Night Valet the same stick is forward and reverse: push up to drive, pull back to reverse, let go to stop. The stick now works anywhere in the controls area, not only on its left half, and the control labels speak your language.

The hand-picked collections — driving games, calm games, high score games, quick games and the rest — and the help page now come in all eight languages, and the collection shelves are back on the home page whatever language you read it in. The help page also catches up with the thumb stick and the new languages.

Mentogames now speaks eight languages. Every game's description, tips, rules and controls, every category page and the whole site around them are now also in Français, Deutsch, Italiano and Bahasa Indonesia, alongside English, Türkçe, Español and Português. Pick yours from the 🌐 menu at the top; English stays exactly where it was.

A new arcade game built for your phone first. You are a small light in a dark arena and the swarm walks in from every wall — but you never aim. Your light fires by itself; all you do is move, and dash straight through them when they close in. Every few shards you pick a power, so each run turns into its own build: a fan of bolts, bolts that pierce a whole line, sparks that circle you, a burst at the end of every dash. On a phone the stick and the dash button sit under the board, so the whole arena stays in view.

On a phone every game page was a little wider than the screen, so it slid sideways under your thumb while you played. The row of buttons under the game now wraps instead, and pages sit still. World Tiles keeps its puzzle sizes in one scrolling row so they no longer cover the bottom of the board, and Night Valet moves its pedals to the right when you steer with the stick, so each thumb has one job.

Nine games started on a phone by steering with the phone's own tilt, and it fought the touch controls: in Steady Aim and Prism Pop dragging to aim did nothing while tilt was on, and in Coreguard, Wreck Arena and Marble Maze the ship or ball drifted whenever your finger lifted. They now start on touch — drag to aim, drag to fly, drag to roll — and tilt is one tap away (the 👆 Touch button). Traffic Escape also lets you tap either side of the road to change lane, so the whole screen is the button.

You told us the steering arrows were fiddly and that tilting made the car wander, so the driving games now steer with a thumb stick: put your thumb down anywhere on the left half and drag, and the stick appears right under it. Tilt and the old arrows are still one tap away. Drift Master, Apex Run, Cargo Run and Hill Climb also stop laying their buttons over the track on a phone held upright — the controls get their own strip under the board, so you can see the whole circuit and the pedals are bigger. Parking Master, Night Valet and Mento Nightline get the stick too, with every pedal under your right thumb.

Every game page, category and the home page now have their own Turkish, Spanish and Portuguese versions — the descriptions, how-to-play, rules and tips, the menus and buttons, all of it — at /tr, /es and /pt. English stays exactly where it was. Pick a language from the 🌐 menu in the header or the footer, and search engines will send people to the version in their own language. The games themselves are the same games; Word Vault still uses English words.

Every game page now has an Embed button: pick a size, copy one line of code, paste it into your blog, school site or forum, and the game plays right there — free, no sign-up, no ads. The only thing we ask is that you keep the small credit line under it. All the games and their codes are in one place on the new Free games for your website page.

Harbor Patrol cruisers used to be ghosts: you slid off them like soap, and a cruiser you shot twice simply vanished. Now they are cars. Hit one and it reels — its lights and wheel go dead for a second or two and it slides where the hit sent it. Clip a rear quarter and the tail swings round; hit it square and it just stops. Every hit folds its panels, and enough of them leave it burning in the road, dark and solid, where it stays until you are well out of sight. Taking one down costs you a star, but the next cruiser needs about seven seconds to roll out — that is your window. Head-on at 110 km/h finishes one outright; at 40 it takes three hits, and every one of them dents your car too.

Harbor Loop's drivers used to look straight through you: you could park across a lane and they would drive into you at full speed, wheels not even turning. Now they queue behind you with their brake lights on, they lean on the horn if you sit there, and the moment a siren is out they slow to a crawl and edge over to the kerb — which clears the middle of the road for you, and for whoever is chasing you. Their wheels turn, their front wheels steer into the corners, and they lean on the same springs your car does.

The city was built the way a city is easiest to write — a separate object for every kerb, lane dash, tree and bench, twelve hundred of them, and a material of its own for every facade. None of it ever moves, so now it is welded: one mesh per material per tile, and the whole skyline shares a single material with the window pattern in its texture coordinates and its colour in its vertices. The city went from 1214 objects to 226 and a frame from 733 draw calls to 376. Phones feel this most, because mobile hardware runs out of draw calls long before it runs out of triangles. The sun's shadow now covers what is on screen instead of half the district, which made it sharper at the same time.

Until today every car in Harbor Loop was a brick: the same attitude parked, braking from 130 or halfway through a handbrake turn. Now the body sits on a spring of its own while the wheels stay on the road — it rolls out of a corner, dives on the brakes, squats under power and rocks for a moment before it settles. A crash punches the nose down and it comes back up on its own. The patrol cars lean into their corners too, which is worth a look in the mirror.

Hit something and the car folds where it landed: the panel caves in, the metal crumples around it, and it stays that way until a respray. The car you hit bends too, on the side you came from. The glass goes white once a car is half dead and the headlights stop working when the nose is finished, so you can read how close a car is to going up without looking at the health bar. A car only stops sharing its body the moment it is actually hit, so a street of clean traffic still costs the same to draw as before.

Two new bodies join the traffic, and you can steal either. The van is tall, slow and hard to stop, with a sliding-door rail, a roof vent and windows in its back doors — it shoves anything out of the way and then keeps going, which is the problem. The pickup has an open bed with proper walls, a roll bar behind the cab and the torque to spin its tail up under power. Six shapes now share the street, each with its own handling, and they cost the city nothing extra to draw because cars of a shape share one baked body.

Mirrors, arches, side skirts, chrome beltlines, door handles, fog lamps, a grille bar, reverse lamps, a diffuser and brake discs behind the spokes — and not only on the car you are driving. Traffic used to be built plain to keep the city affordable; now that cars of the same shape share one baked body, the twentieth car costs what the first one did, so every one of them is finished. Each shape got its own signature too: a spoiler and twin pipes on the coupe, a boot lip on the sedan, a roof spoiler and aerial on the hatch, roof rails and a push bar on the SUV. Police cars now wear white doors and a push bar under the light bar.

The old pad had five small buttons crowded into one corner and a wheel you had to find. Now the left half of the screen is the wheel: put your thumb down anywhere on it and drag, and a stick appears under your thumb. The right thumb gets a big throttle, a brake beside it, the handbrake above, and a single action button that keeps its place whether it says GET IN, OUT or FIRE. Tilt steering is still there for anyone who prefers it.

Every car in Harbor Loop used to be built from scratch — its own body, its own wheels, its own paint — which left the city drawing about fifty separate pieces per car. Cars of the same shape now share one baked body and one set of wheels, so the same street costs a tenth of the meshes and a fraction of the memory. That headroom went straight back into the cars: door shut lines down the flanks and proper housings around the headlamps, and the phones that struggled with a busy junction have room to breathe.

The figure of eight now has company. Harbor Sweep is long and fast with a kink halfway down each straight; Stonecut joins two hairpins with two sweepers and punishes a late brake. Pick one on the start screen with Q and E or by tapping the arrows — each circuit keeps its own best lap and its own ghost, so your fastest run races you on the track you set it on.

Catch a bolt on the middle of the shield rather than its edge and it is a perfect parry — double points, and a wave that turns back everything else closing in. That is now the answer when two shots arrive from opposite sides. Every inbound shot is also marked with a tick on the ring around the shield that grows as it gets closer, so a crowded wave can be read at a glance instead of hunted for.

A new arcade game with one control. You are a core ringed by turrets, holding a single shield on a pivot: point it at an incoming bolt and the bolt goes back twice as fast and takes the turret out. The shield swings with weight, so two shots from opposite sides mean choosing one. Purple bolts only turn on the bright centre, yellow ones come back as a pair, and three hits on the core end it.

Skim a spire tip or shave the canyon wall and your multiplier climbs — and it multiplies every metre, so a nervous run down the middle of the gap is now worth a fraction of a brave one. Thermals feed the multiplier too. Deeper into the canyon, slabs let go of the ceiling and tumble across your line: they puff dust before they drop, so you get to choose whether to beat them across or wait.

Three things arrive as the climb goes on. Pale cracked ledges hold for about a second and then give way, dropping you onto a bare wall you slide down fast until you jump off it. Columns of hot air lift you while you cross them, so a jump aimed through one climbs much higher. And the saws that were already up there now share the shaft with both — while the fire keeps coming.

A new one-button climber, and the first game on the site built for a phone held upright. Hold to wind up a jump and let go: every leap crosses to the other wall, a full wind-up climbs three times as far as a tap, and hanging on costs you height. Red walls are spikes, saws cross the shaft higher up, and the fire below never stops rising — the embers you grab are the only thing that pushes it back.

In the air the slide button is a roll. Land the flip and your multiplier climbs; land halfway through it and you stumble and lose it. Coins keep the multiplier ticking, and it multiplies the distance you score — so a clean, flashy run is worth several times a careful one. Green launch vents throw you into arcs of coins you cannot reach on foot, and the gaps widen the further you get.

A new one-button arcade game. Hold to throw a grapple at the next mast, crane or balloon, swing through the arc and let go at the top to fly on. The rope winds in while you hold it, so hooking late is how you gain height — and the flood below never stops rising. Rings pay out and shove you upward, blades end runs, and distance is the score.

Three upgrades that change how a run plays, not just how hard it hits: an escort drone that circles you and fires on its own, arc coupling that makes every hit jump to a second enemy, and an overcharged pulse that reaches further and welds the core as it fires. From wave 7 part of the swarm turns up plated — two bullets bounce off before it feels anything, and the pulse is what strips it. Kills in quick succession now build a streak worth up to double.

Near misses and turbo build heat, and when the bar fills a cruiser comes up through the traffic behind you — lights on, weaving between lorries. It pulls alongside and starts pulling you over: burn turbo to push it back, swerve to the far lane while it crosses, or lead it into traffic and watch it go. Survive one and you bank an escape bonus; get held for three seconds and the run ends BUSTED instead of crashed. Two cruisers after a minute and a half.

A new arcade defence game, and the first in a new Arcade Action category. Fly a drone around one power core while waves of crawlers, darters, splitters and brutes close in; your gun fires itself, so you play by where you fly. Every fifth wave brings a Breaker that spawns more while it lives. Survive a wave, pick one of three upgrades, and see how far the run goes.

The site never used your camera, microphone or location — now every page tells your browser to refuse them outright, so nothing here can even ask. Motion sensors stay allowed for tilt steering. Other websites can also no longer load the games inside their own pages.

Crates now drop into the arena mid-fight — repairs, a full nitro tank, or a ram that hits twice as hard for a few seconds. And every fifth wave brings a wrecker: one huge car that barely moves when you hit it and throws you across the floor when it hits you.

Sweet Match, World Tiles and Putt Park now have a short “how it works” on their pages — what the special sweets do, why a sliding puzzle scrambled this way is always solvable, and what the sand, water and ice do to your ball.

Target archery where the wind decides everything. Hold to draw, tilt or drag to set the angle, and let go — the flag tells you how much the crosswind will lift or drop the arrow. Six arrows an end, and the target keeps moving back.

The Cookies & storage page can now save everything this site keeps in your browser as a file — scores, saves and settings, with what each one is for. Seeing it and deleting it were already there; now you can take a copy too.

Tilt steering now smooths the phone's motion sensor adaptively: held still, the steering stays dead straight with half the wobble it had before, and a real turn still comes through at once. It also feels the same on every phone, fast or slow.

Nine games now explain themselves properly on their page — Reversi, Sudoku, Minefield, Klondike, Merge Numbers, Tide Pipes, Prism Pop, Marble Maze and Word Vault get a short “how it works” above the tips, covering the rules and the habits that actually help.

Open a game you have played before and your own best is right there under the title — metres, points, a best lap or levels cleared, depending on the game. It is read from your browser and shows nothing on a device where you have not played yet.

Small controls that were easy to miss with a thumb now have a proper touch target: the sound buttons in CityMento, Wrunner and Style Challenge, the fabric swatches, the paint colours in Nightline, and the buttons and grid-size slider in World Tiles.

One page explains the keyboard shortcuts, the touch gestures, how tilt steering is calibrated and how sensitive it is, and what the vibration, sound and fullscreen buttons do — plus every game you can tilt.

Every berth now has a par: the number of turns the route was laid out with. The header counts your turns against it, each berth remembers your best, and finishing on par earns a “Perfect route!”.

All 29 games now have one page of their own, sorted A to Z with a letter jump bar, links to every category and collection, and a plain one-line index of the whole catalogue.

The list of guesses the game recognises grew by more than 850 words — plurals, past tenses and everyday words that used to come back as “not in word list”. The daily answers are unchanged and still common words.

Calm games gathers the puzzles and card games with no timer and no reflexes, and High score games gathers the runs built to be beaten. Both have their own page, and the FAQ answers a few new questions too.

Phones now buzz when a shot lands, a marble drops into a hole or a car takes a hit, and one button under any game turns vibration on or off for the whole site.

Shoot prisms into a honeycomb wall, match three to shatter them and cut the anchors so whole clusters fall. Bank shots off the walls, and beat the wall before it creeps past the line. Aim by dragging or by tilting your phone.

Every game now has a deal number you can replay from the start as many times as you like, and when a deal truly has no moves left the game says so instead of letting you hunt for one.

Search now ranks titles first and also finds categories, arrow keys walk the results and Enter opens the highlighted one, and a search with no matches says so instead of showing nothing.

A new page says plainly what works for keyboard and screen reader use and where the games fall short. Keyboard focus is now shown with a bright outline everywhere, there is a skip-to-content link, and the site's animations stop if your system asks for reduced motion.

Fullscreen now turns wide games sideways where the browser allows it and fills the screen without stretching, and a one-tap hint reminds you to rotate when a wide board is squeezed into an upright phone.

Puzzles are now rated by the technique they actually need, not just how many clues are left — Easy solves with single candidates, Medium needs hidden singles, Hard needs pencil-mark reasoning, and a new Expert level goes further still.

Who makes the games, why every one of them is built from scratch, how the phone controls work and what happens to your data — all on one page.

A new button next to the tilt indicator sets how far you have to lean for full lock — Low, Normal or High. The choice is remembered and used by every tilt game.

A level map shows every level you have unlocked with its stars and best time, and jumps straight to any of them. Stars are kept per level and R restarts a level.

Lean your phone to hop a lane in Wrunner — one lane per lean, so holding a tilt won't send you sliding across the track. In Roofline, hold the top half of the screen to jump and the bottom half to slide.

Tilt your phone to roll a glass marble through a glowing maze. Levels grow and gain holes, with three stars for beating par and a best time on every level.

Tilt games, driving games, brain games and quick games now each have a page with every game in the set and a short guide, starting with how tilt steering works on your phone.

Tip your phone like a tray and your car rolls that way, faster the further you lean. Dragging still works and takes over whenever your finger is down.

The Cookies & storage page now shows exactly what the site keeps in your browser, with one-tap delete. Browsers that send Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track are opted out of statistics automatically.

Turn your phone like a yoke to climb and dive, with finer control the further you lean. Or hold the top or bottom half of the screen, and the buttons are bigger too.

Pick a board: a tough 3×3 race to 512, the classic 4×4, a relaxed 5×5 or a 6×6 marathon to 4096. Each size keeps its own best score.

A logic puzzle of hidden mines with a safe first click, tap-to-clear on numbers, flag mode and long-press flags on phones, and best times on three board sizes.

Every run now has three missions, from jumps and near misses to distance and gates. Complete them for bonus score and level up as a runner.

A game's code now downloads in the background while you read its page, so the 3D games start the moment you press Play.
