Inkline Classic
Territory painting on a shared canvas. Draw a line, close the loop, claim everything inside, and cut anyone caught drawing in it. One stick, ninety seconds, most turf wins.
New io games to play in your browser
Drop in, grow, cut somebody off, get cut off, drop straight back in. These are io-style arenas: everyone in one space, quick rounds, and a leaderboard that never stays still for long. Join the public room with whoever is online, or start your own and send the link if you'd rather beat your friends than strangers.

More io games
Inkline
One sheet of paper, a big brush each. Paint a loop back to your colour and everything inside is yours. Walk over a wet line to cut it. Most paper at the clock takes the round.
Orb Rush
Firefly-catching race at dusk. Grab glowing orbs, run them home to your lantern — dash into rivals to scatter their haul. Most banked light wins.
Slimed
A slime oozes out of the drain and chases everyone round the town square. Get caught and you turn slimy and hunt the rest. Last one left wins.
Snake
Classic arcade snake, reborn multiplayer. Grow as long as you can, cut off your rivals, and don't crash — last snake slithering wins.
Bouncelot
One crown, one bouncy castle, everybody after it. Wear the crown to score, tackle whoever has it, hop over the tackles. Most crown time at the end wins the round.
Arrowdy
A bow each and one arrow in an autumn clearing. Hold to charge, let go to shoot, then go and pick an arrow up. Hit someone and they're out. Last archer standing wins.
Tangletail
A dragon dance on a round festival square. Steer your dragon anywhere, eat lanterns to grow, and block the others with your body. Out? Dance as a lion and take a dragon back. Last dragon dancing wins.
One half-baked idea, one prompt, and this tile has your name on it.
