NOVA, SHADE, and CLASH: three ranked 1v1s with nothing to install

Space racers, assassin classes, and a three-round fighter — all ranked, all in the browser at glyphgrid.online.

Published 2026-09-11

If abstract strategy is not the mood, the same website still has a night of 1v1s. NOVA is space karts. SHADE is a rooftop assassin duel. CLASH is punch-kick-jump-squat. All three write Elo. None of them are a store page.

NOVA

Auto-accel, drift the sweet spot, spend the item. First to three laps. It is the closest thing in the Arena to kart racing without a client. Play NOVA.

SHADE

GHOST cloaks. HEX blinks. RAZOR cuts. Sound gives you away. First to four frags. Incomplete information is the whole sport — see the game theory page. Play SHADE.

CLASH

Best of three. Throws beat block. Sweep beats stand. Jump beats crouch. Super when the meter pops. That is yomi in four buttons. Play CLASH.

Posters for all three live on the campaign kit. Daily notes: ladder blog.
