What it is
Better Than Scrolling is a set of browser games by 0x00000000, with two released so far. Episode 001, ANTNUAL REPORT, is an ant-manager efficiency strategy game that takes about four minutes, played with mouse or touch. Episode 002, RUNNING LATE, is a commuter platformer: you run, jump and wall-jump through 30 platform rooms, each death adds 20 seconds, and you pick your own route to reach the station within 24 minutes. The author says generative AI helped with the code, text, three transit backgrounds, the commuter animation sheet and the base cover illustration, and both episodes carry an AI disclosure on itch.io. The author also plans to put out a downloadable collection after every five episodes.
Who it's for: Anyone who'd rather play a short browser game than scroll their phone.
Before you start: Both episodes are free, with optional donations. The GamesByAI catalog lists RUNNING LATE as mobile-ready. The games are in English with no voiced dialogue.
