Classic games, remixed

The best first game to make is one everybody already knows how to play. Nobody needs a tutorial for solitaire. That frees the creator to spend all their effort on one new idea.

These are classics our team picked from Remix, each with more than 100,000 plays. Every one is free in your browser and in the Remix app, with no ads and no download.

Solitaire: Onchain Solitaire

Onchain Solitaire by @ifiwasfrank is the patience game you know: build the foundations, flip through the stock, clear the board. It adds a score and a clock to chase, plus Undo for the move you regret. More than 126,000 plays.

Poker: POKER KOMBO!

Tap to play

POKER KOMBO! by @dango154 turns poker hands into attacks. Pick cards from your grid, make a pair, two pair, a straight or a full house, and hit the boss with it. Bigger hands hit harder, Shuffle refreshes a bad draw, and a straight flush skips you straight to the next stage. It has more than 124,000 plays.

Knife throwing: Another Knife Hit

Another Knife Hit by @anothergamedev is the tap game where you throw knives into a spinning target without hitting the ones already stuck in it. Clear a target to reach the next one. More than 208,000 plays.

Flappy: Flappy Nouns

Flappy Nouns by @0x0n13 keeps the one-button rule of the original: tap to flap, fly through the gaps, try again. The twist is the cast. Pick a character, including a unicorn, and flap it as far as you can. More than 259,000 plays.

Skiing: Downhill Skiing

Tap to play

Downhill Skiing by @cstax is the endless slope from the old desktop games. Turn left and right, miss the pines, and see how many kilometers you last. It is the most played game in this list, with more than 342,000 plays.

Mini golf: Doodle mini Golf

Doodle mini Golf by @oiroot is a hand-drawn course where every hole counts your strokes. Aim, set your power, sink it in as few strokes as you can. More than 118,000 plays.

The modern classic: Pixel Survivors

Pixel Survivors by @volks is the newest classic here, in the style that took over PC gaming a few years ago. Pick a character and survive the swarm. Every level up offers new weapons and passives, and bosses show up as the stage goes on. More than 113,000 plays.
