Issue # 5
This week's picks range from party games with strangers to realistic flight physics. These are all passion projects from indie devs who don't have marketing budgets. If you enjoy what you see, forward this to a friend or share HN Arcade. It makes a real difference.
Featured: Exquisite.Monster – Telephone Pictionary with strangers and friends
The classic party game: one person writes a sentence, the next draws it, the next describes the drawing, and chaos ensues. Unlike other online versions, players can create art however they like (pen and paper, VR sculpting, collage) and upload a photo. Party Mode captures the in-person experience of passing prompts around the table.

This Week's Picks
Flightle
A 2D sidescrolling flight sim that actually gets the physics right. Most browser flight games model rockets, not airplanes. Flightle uses realistic flight dynamics where headwinds and throttle behave as they should. Land safely, on time, with minimal fuel. Easier said than done.

Blank White Cards
An online version of 1000 Blank White Cards, the party game where you make the rules as you go. Set up a room with friends, draw cards, and build a shared deck that grows over time. There's even a Global Deck for quick pass-and-play with strangers.
