WALK UP. PRESS PLAY.
Every cabinet is free. Play with a keyboard or the on-screen controls on your phone. Most rounds last up to 90 seconds. Games with a stack, trail, balls or shields can end sooner.
PRACTICE & RANKED PLAY
Practice needs no account. Its best scores stay in this browser. For ranked play, use ChatGPT sign-in, then choose a public arcade handle. Your ranked rounds save automatically after they finish. A round started as practice cannot be converted into a ranked score later.
All players receive the same starting seed for each game each UTC day. Your best ranked score is your leaderboard entry. Daily boards reset at midnight UTC. All-time boards retain previous days, which may have different starting seeds. Ties go to the player whose first recorded round was earlier.
PAUSE, SOUND & COMFORT
Press P or Escape, or use Pause. Leaving the tab pauses the game. Sound starts off and only plays after you turn it on. Reduced-motion settings remove decorative effects while keeping the game mechanics playable. Each gem color also has a distinct shape.
HOW SCORES ARE VERIFIED
The server issues every ranked round and calculates its score from the moves you made. It also checks the rules version, player ownership and round clock. A saved replay prevents a second score for the same round. These checks prevent simple score edits; they do not guarantee that every player is human. Ranked starts are limited to 12 a minute and 200 a day. Practice is unlimited.
If a score cannot save, keep the game page open and tap Retry saving. Ranked rounds expire 30 minutes after starting. Signing in or changing your handle during a practice round only affects your next round.
NEON STACK
A falling-block and gem-matching mash-up. Drop neon shapes to clear full rows or match three colors. Chain cascades, plan your landing and keep the stack alive.
- Move and rotate each falling shape. The outline shows where it will land.
- Clear a full horizontal row, or connect three equal colors in a row or column.
- Gem matches collapse into cascades. Consecutive clearing pieces build your combo.
- Hard drops earn extra points. Keep the stack below the top for 90 seconds.
Keyboard: ← → move · ↑ rotate · ↓ soft drop · Space drop
Touch: Move, rotate and drop with the buttons below the cabinet.
PRISM POP
Swap neighboring gems to match three or more. Bigger matches and cascading chain reactions turn a quiet board into a shower of points. Every daily board starts from the same seed.
- Swap two neighboring gems. A swap must create a match of three or more.
- Matches of four or more earn a bonus. Cascades multiply the points.
- The shapes distinguish each color. Invalid swaps return to their original places.
- Make as many matches as possible in 90 seconds. A board with no moves reshuffles.
Keyboard: Arrows move cursor · Enter select / swap
Touch: Tap two neighboring gems, or swipe one into its neighbor.
CIRCUIT SNAKE
Steer a hungry neon circuit, collect energy and grow your score. Each pickup makes the chase faster. Stay clear of the walls and your own trail.
- Collect the pink energy cells to grow your circuit and score.
- You can turn at right angles, but cannot reverse straight into your trail.
- Avoid the border and your own circuit. Each four pickups increases the speed.
- Survive for 90 seconds. A collision ends the round immediately.
Keyboard: Arrows or WASD steer

VECTOR BREAK
Launch the ball and work the angles. Smash the vector wall, catch it on your paddle and clear the grid for another wave. You have three balls and ninety seconds.
- Launch a ball, then move the paddle to keep it in play.
- Hit the paddle near its edges to change the bounce angle.
- Clear every brick for a new wall and a 1,000 point bonus. Some bricks take two hits.
- Every 12 bricks gives a temporary wide paddle. You have 3 balls and 90 seconds.
Keyboard: ← → move · Space launch
Touch: Drag the paddle on the screen. Tap Launch for a new ball.
PULSE PATROL
Pilot a neon interceptor through an incoming wave. Hold fire, dodge the falling drones and keep your hit streak alive. Survive the rush with three shields.
- Move left and right, and hold Fire to shoot incoming drones.
- Destroy drones before they leave the screen. Build a hit streak for more points.
- A collision or a drone escaping costs a shield. There are three shields.
- Drones arrive faster as the round progresses. Last up to 90 seconds.
