How it works

Everything runs directly in the browser — plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No server, no database, no dependencies to install. Each game is a single self-contained index.html file.

Contributing

New games and contributions are very welcome! 🎉

If you have an idea for a fun browser game or want to improve an existing one, feel free to open a pull request or file an issue on GitHub.

Adding a new game is straightforward:

1. Create a folder with your game name (e.g. my-game/)
2. Add a single index.html file — all HTML, CSS, and JS in one file
3. Use the dark purple background: background: linear-gradient(135deg, #0f0c29, #302b63, #24243e)
4. Add a ← Back to Arcade link at the top pointing to ../index.html
5. Add a card for your game in the root index.html and a row in this README
