Two weeks after launch: slower bots, keyboard controls, and live 6v6 rankings

Based on the first round of feedback, I ve been focused on making Flickstrike easier to learn without removing the skill.

Since launch:

Added a slower Original bot for a more forgiving first match

Added keyboard controls: use 1 6 to select a player and the arrow keys to aim

Flickstrike - Built around passing and positioning

I wanted a video game that played like soccer, where passing and shooting take real skill and practice. Flickstrike is a free browser game built around angles, power, positioning, and bank shots. You control the whole team, so you can set up every pass and shot yourself, play with a teammate when you want, and join parties with up to 12 people. Play 6v6 or 4v4 online, challenge bots, create formations, and train with skill drills.

Manipulation β€” The Card Game - Build melds, reshape the table, outplay everyone

Manipulation is a free browser card game for 2–8 players using two decks. Build sets or same-suit runs of three or more, then reshape the shared table by moving cards between meldsβ€”so long as every pile remains valid. Play timed or untimed, across devices with a room code, against bots, or control several seats yourself. Four rotating rounds and a golf-style scorecard reward the lowest score. No download or ChatGPT sign-in required.
