Field notes
The menu names eight games inspired by classics from 1976 to 1991, then adds Leaf Storm, described as a leaf-blower arcade game. The page says its games use vanilla JavaScript and support keyboard, touch, or controller input. Scores are not simply accepted from the browser: the site describes recording a run's inputs and replaying them on the server before posting.
