Is it down, or is it you?
When something stops working, the first question is whether the problem is yours. One look answers it.
The games

Shelly Gems
Soon
A cozy merge puzzle
Merge sparkling gems, outsmart tricky boards and collect treasures with Shelly the turtle.
Swarmline
Soon
Hold the line against the swarm
Your squad fires on its own. You drag it left and right — and that one move decides the whole run.

Why we build this way
Every one of these started because the thing should exist and no version of it treated the people using it properly. Weather apps that want an account. Scanners that upload your photo. Horoscopes written by a language model that says something different every time you ask.
So the rule is the same each time: do the work on the device when the device can do it, ask for nothing that is not needed, and say plainly when something is uncertain. It makes for smaller products than the market expects. That is the point.
We build deliberately, ship when the work is ready, and keep maintaining what we release.
How they are built
Nothing leaves your device
No accounts to create, no analytics, no profile building. Where a tool can do its work in your browser, it does — birth charts are computed on your phone, and camera frames are never uploaded.
Nine languages in every one
English, Russian, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Turkish, Japanese and Chinese — read through by people who speak them, not run through machine translation and shipped.
Small enough to be instant
Rendered at the edge, no framework to download, install as an app if you want one. They open with the first tap and keep working with the signal off.
