The Lab
Experimental prototypes. Loud on purpose. Kept in a separate room so the Quiet Arcade stays quiet.
This section plays by different rules
The Quiet Arcade is built around calm defaults: untimed modes where the genre allows, optional sound, local-only scores, and no pressure mechanics. Lab prototypes do not make that promise. They are fast, they are timed, and they are unfinished by design.
What does not change: no account, no purchase, no tracking beyond what you have already allowed, and scores that stay in this browser. The Lab carries no Google advertising at all — its own advertising, if any, is separate and labelled, and nothing loads without a consent basis.

Pulse Runner
Dodge the descending pulses for as long as you can hold the line.
A one-thumb survival prototype built to prove out the Lab render loop: fixed timestep, letterboxed canvas, and a frame counter you can actually read.
