Nano Games is a game which is based on quick rotations between small fast-paced games and it includes revamped versions of popular Bawk Bawk Battles minigames as well as new exclusive minigames. There is no pause between games, and the games cycle forever (meaning the server does not close, you have to leave the server to stop playing). It was fully released on Java Mineplex on September 15th, 2018.
A colour name will be displayed on your screen. From that moment, you have a small amount of time to stand on blocks of that colour! If the player fails to stand on the correct colour, he dies. The last standing player wins!
On a board, a particular configuration of random blocks will appear. The player will need to replicate it on its board in order to move up one level. Each time the player goes up one level, an extra block is added in the next level. The player which has reached the highest level when time runs out wins.
Player have to fall in a dropper map and land on slime blocks at the bottom. If the player crashes into an obstacle, he is teleported back at the top of the dropper. The first player to complete the dropper (the one who has the best time) wins.
Players have to complete a parkour course. Stand on the quartz ground patterns to register a checkpoint. The first player who completes the course wins.
Some players are given a 'hot potato'. Punch the others to pass on that potato! Every so often, the potatoes blow up, killing their holder. New players will then be given new potatoes. The last player to survive wins.

Trivia
Due to the fact that the game was created without the usual game core, it is unlikely to be playable in Normal MPS together with other regular games.
In its entirety, Nano Games is rather a rotation of minigames than a game itself.
Thus, a page for each of the minigames was created and separated from the main article.
On July 30th 2018, a poll was created on the Mineplex Discord, asking for the community's favourite Bawk Bawk Battles minigames.
Most of the poll winners, namely Color Change, Red Light, Green Light, Chicken Shoot, Reverse Tag, Pick a Side, Ore Run, Musical Minecart and Milk the Cow made a return in Nano Games.
