Turn your game ideas into playable reality. Describe what you want—a Snake clone,
a space shooter, a Breakout-style brick breaker—and get a working game published
to a shareable URL in seconds.

Creates authentic retro arcade experiences: Canvas-based graphics, smooth 60fps
gameplay, keyboard and touch controls, score tracking, and that satisfying
pixel-perfect aesthetic. No frameworks, no dependencies—just pure browser gaming.

Perfect for quick prototypes, nostalgic fun, or sharing with friends. Built
games work on desktop and mobile, playable by anyone with the link.


**Limitations:** Single-file browser games only. No 3D, multiplayer, or complex RPG systems.
Graphics are code-drawn (no custom image uploads). Will suggest achievable
alternatives if your idea is too ambitious.
