Playing without an account: what is saved and what is lost
This site does not ask for an email, a password or a phone number. That makes starting a game faster, but it also means something different about how your data works. This guide explains plainly what is stored and what is not.
What we do not store
We do not store user accounts, so there is no name, email or password in our database. We do not store your game history either. When you close this site, no record of what you played is sent to our server.
What is stored in your browser
The browser stores game progress in local storage for this domain. That data stays on your device and is not sent anywhere. It also means your progress does not move to another phone, and does not return if you switch browsers or clear site data.
Why this is good for quick games
Most people do not want to create an account to play a ten-minute game. Without an account there is no email verification screen, no forgotten password, and no marketing email. You click and play. For short games, this is the right way round.
When an account is actually useful
An account is useful if you want progress to move between devices, or want to compete on a global leaderboard. For that, online multiplayer games like Chinchilla Trails usually run their own accounts, and you register with that game's provider, not with us.
If you want to erase everything
You can clear site data for this domain in your browser settings, and all local progress disappears. No deletion request needs to be sent to us, because there is no account data for us to hold.
Choosing between two similar titles
When two games look alike, pick the one with simpler controls. A game with one clear mechanic is usually more enjoyable than one that tries five things at once. This is especially true for short games: depth comes from repetition, not from the number of buttons.
Why light graphics matter
Light graphics are not a weakness. They mean the game loads fast, runs on older hardware, and does not heat the phone. For a game played during a short break, load speed matters more than visual effects. A title that loads in two seconds gets played; one that takes twenty usually gets abandoned.
When a game will not load
Three common causes: the connection dropped for a moment, an ad blocker is blocking the frame, or the provider is doing maintenance. Try one reload, try a private window to test whether a browser extension is the cause, and if it still fails, try another title in the same category. We drop broken titles when they are reported.
What gets a title listed
We check three things: the frame loads a real game, the start button works, and the controls match the device we say it suits. We do not list games that show a picture with a dead button, and we do not list games that need an extra install. That makes this list shorter than other directories, and that is deliberate.
Why the categories are sorted this way
Categories here follow game type, not popularity. Tic Tac Toe Puzzle may sit in the same category as a far more famous title, and that is deliberate: you are looking for a kind of game, not a brand. If a category is too large, use page two and three — the order shifts each time the list is refreshed.
Common questions
Why do some games need a keyboard?
Some mechanics — racing, shooters, platformers — need a precision that is hard to reach with touch. Those titles are marked on the game page so you do not try them on a phone and end up frustrated.
How often is the list updated?
We add titles and remove broken ones on a regular basis. If you find an empty frame or a start button that does nothing, tell us through the contact page and it will be checked.
Are the games here really free?
Yes. No payment, no subscription, and no limit on how many you play. The site is funded by display advertising around the game, not inside it.
