Deadshot IO shows me that even basic mechanics of FPSs can be entertaining. You do not need a lot of complicated systems for a shooter to be enjoyable. Just decent movement, shooting, different kinds of weapons, and competitions are enough. https://deadshotgame.io/

Built ScanChess after too many OTB games were lost to phone photos and paper scoresheets — wanted a fast OCR path to FEN/PGN for players and coaches.
