About the arcade

Short, free games you can play in any modern browser, on a computer, tablet or phone. No account, no download, no email address.

How scoring works

• Levels: each level is a little faster (about 6–7% per level) and every few levels adds something new.
• Bonus rounds: every 5th level. You can't lose, there's a countdown, and the points are big.
• Checkpoints: once you've reached level 6, 11, 16… you can start from there next time.
• Combos: chain hits to raise your multiplier. It resets if you pause too long or miss.
• Daily Challenge: one game each day uses the same level layout for everyone, with its own board. It changes at midnight UTC.

Fair play

Scores are checked when they're submitted. Every game gets a one-time ticket from the server when it starts, so the server times each game itself — scores that are impossible for the time played, very short games and rapid-fire submissions are rejected, and rude names are blocked. If you see a name that is rude, hurtful or uses someone's real name without their permission, email us at [email protected] and we'll remove it.

Health warning: flashing lights

Some games use brief screen flashes and fast-moving colours. We keep flashes soft and limit how often they happen, and they switch off completely if your device's "reduce motion" setting is on. If you or anyone playing has photosensitive epilepsy, please take care, and stop playing if you feel unwell.

Privacy notice

Who we are. This site is run by Iam SmartBacon. Contact: [email protected].

What we store, and why.

• High scores you choose to save: the nickname you type, your score, the level reached, the game and the time. These are shown publicly on the leaderboards. We keep them because running a public leaderboard is the point of the site (legitimate interests). Scores older than 90 days are deleted unless they are in a game's all-time top 20.
• Hall of Legends: if you finish a Legend game and choose to sign the Hall, we store the nickname you type, the game, the date and a private restore code. Names in the Hall are kept until you ask us to remove them.
• Spam protection and fair play: when a game starts and when you save a score, a one-way scrambled (hashed) version of your connection (IP) address is stored briefly, together with the game and the time it started, to limit spam and check scores. It is deleted automatically within a few hours. It is never shown or shared.
• Retro Vault: a ROM you load with "Your ROM" is read inside your browser and is never uploaded. The emulator keeps its own settings, save states and a copy of the emulator files in your browser's storage so they load faster next time.
• On your own device: your best scores, badges, game progress, daily challenge streak and sound settings are saved in your browser's local storage so the games remember them. Clearing your browser data removes it. If you have a Legend code, your games played, levels reached, best scores and badges are also saved online against that code so they can be restored on another device; nothing else from your device is sent. We don't use cookies, advertising or cross-site tracking.

Please use a nickname. Don't enter your full real name or anyone else's.

Services we use: the site is hosted by GitHub Pages (GitHub, Inc.), which receives your IP address like any web host does in order to deliver the pages, and the leaderboard is stored with Supabase. Some of these providers may process data outside the UK/EU under approved safeguards.

Your rights. You can ask us to see or delete a score saved under your nickname, or object to how we use it. Email [email protected] with the nickname, game and roughly when you played. If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Data Protection Commission (Ireland) or the Information Commissioner's Office (UK).

Children. The games are suitable for all ages. We don't ask for age, email, location or any contact details, and there is no chat or messaging between players.

Games, graphics and sound are made from code — no external image or audio files. Hosted on GitHub Pages; high scores powered by Supabase. No third-party fonts, tracking scripts or ads are loaded.

The Retro Vault is the exception: it runs other people's free software. The emulator is EmulatorJS (GPL v3) with libretro cores, and the homebrew games belong to their creators and are shared under their open licences. Everything, including source code, is served from this site; full credits are on the Vault page.
