Frowning Gorilla Arcade

We built a little arcade.

Faithful homages to the vector-arcade classics we grew up on — vibe-coded for the fun of it, free to play, and running right here in your browser. No sign-up, no cost. Pick a cabinet.

Three cabinets

Best played on a keyboard

Astro Drift

after the rock-blasting vector shooter

Drift, rotate and blast the rocks apart before they get you — with wraparound edges and a saucer that means business.

Play Astro Drift →

Soft Landing

after the one-tank-of-fuel lander

Ease down onto a pad — slow, level and upright — on a single tank of fuel. Smaller pads pay more; every landing gets tenser.

Iron Horizon

after the wireframe first-person tank duel

A first-person wireframe tank duel. Turn, aim, fire one shell at a time, and watch the radar for tanks closing in. Use cover.

The house rules

Free, private, and a gorilla in every one.

Every cabinet runs entirely in your browser — nothing to install, nothing tracked, and no cost. Your only souvenir is a high score, kept on your own device.

And the Frowning Gorilla turns up in all three — a drifting rock, a mountain, a moon. Consider him the house mascot.
