Joynix, the zero-stakes puzzle pier
A free browser arcade with three playable puzzle games, local Glow scores, and no downloads, accounts, payments, or prizes.
Field notes
The arcade stores each player’s best run locally as Glow rather than using accounts, rankings, or a prize system. Its three available games have distinct rule sets: a five-by-five wire-rotation puzzle, an 81-tile deduction board with ten hidden crabs, and a sliding merge game with a stated 2048 target. Three additional concepts—Deckchair, Ferris, and Postcard—are identified as unfinished workshop pieces, including one awaiting a shippable dictionary.
