Poly-26

POLY-26 is a tiny virtual game console that lives in your browser. Slide in the PRIMITIVE 10-in-1 cartridge, watch the CRT warm up, and pick a game.

Every game is made only from basic shapes (cubes, spheres, cylinders, cones, tori and pyramids). There are no image or sound files: the graphics, sound effects and chiptune music are all generated in code.

The 10 games

• STACK: drop sliding slabs and build the tallest tower.
• HELIX DROP: spin the tower and let the ball fall through the gaps, but avoid the red.
• COLOR GATE: dash down the track and pick the lane that matches your colour.
• CROWD MERGE: grow your crowd through the maths gates and win the final fight.
• HOLE EATER: swallow the city, one object at a time, before the 60 seconds run out.
• ROLLING PATH: roll faster and faster down a neon track and jump the gaps.
• BLOCK SORT: sort the coloured discs into their tubes.
• CONE HIT: fire cones into the spinning log without touching another cone.
• CUBE SLICE: aim the laser and slice the flying shapes. Don’t hit the bombs.
• GRAVITY FLIP: flip gravity to the beat and dodge the spikes.

Controls

• A: Space / J / Z. B: K / X / Shift. START: Enter. SELECT: Tab. Mute: M.

Best scores are saved in your browser. Restarting after a game over is instant.
