How it works

Try in-browser or download a compact package for offline sessions.
Creators publish modular content and set royalty splits.

We meter attention with bite-sized sessions that highlight mechanics, not menus. That means a player can understand a loop in minutes. Creators upload a playable core, attach assets, and tag platforms. Our systems recommend matches, surface feedback, and help sustain small economies so indie work earns ongoing attention. The result is an ecosystem where experimentation breathes and players discover unexpected favorites every week.
