Looking for a quick arcade game? WindMill runs in the browser and needs no download. Think simulation — that is the shape of it. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.

How to play WindMill
The rules land within the first few seconds of play. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move |
| Spacebar | Primary action |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
What makes WindMill stick is that failure is informative. You can usually name the mistake, and that is what makes another attempt tempting. It is not trying to be anything larger, and it is better for it.
