A free one-tap iPhone arcade game where you orbit planets, fling yourself between landings, and climb through an increasingly strange cosmic sky.

Why it surfaced

Ember gives its simple control scheme real physical stakes: tap once to launch along a tangent, land near the centre, and chain perfect landings before the rising dark catches you. Its hazards include lethal suns, black holes, pulsars, blackout nebulae, and a stretch with no ground at all—an unusually vivid setting for a one-button game.

The Largest Cat Has No Number

August 14’s newborn domains include an unnumbered giant among thirteen catalogued glossy cats, a shareable Visual Snow Syndrome simulator, two independent Colombian relief directories, and a snail farm with races, courtship, and its own Gazette.
