The games have no ads, no dark patterns and require no registration. They just work, on both mobile and desktop. My website tries to be similarly user friendly and minimal. I’m hoping to capture the web 1.0 vibe of personal homepages, where people would put links to their favorite obscure online places. If you enjoy it, bookmark the page and visit every now and then. Also, maybe skip this post if you have a deadline today.

The first game I opened (Saloon Panic) has ads and isn't mobile friendly.

  Huh, I didn't see any ads (Firefox on Android), and it was mobile friendly (instructions were to "tap here" and the screen fit fine).

    If you are using Firefox on Android, did you check if you have an ad blocker enabled? And if you don't, why not?

Nice collection, thanks for putting this together! I was thinking of submitting my jigsaw site Puzzle Panda [1] if it fits the requirements. Registration is not necessary and there’s no ads. [1]: https://puzzlepanda.com https://puzzlepanda.com

  This looks fun! One question, your terms mention payments, but I couldn't find any paid content in my short session. What is the business model? Is there a pricing page?
  - snake_case 4y ago
    Good question and sorry for the confusion! I originally launched with an optional paid tier which I have since removed. Currently there is no business model. I happily run this at a loss as my costs are very low.

  A bit of feedback: please don't rotate the puzzle piece for me! A huge part of sorting out where a piece goes is figuring out its orientation in space and if you tell em automatically, I miss out on that whole part of the process, and suddenly all the pieces are sorted for me.

    Great feedback, others have mentioned this as well! I’ll try to add this as an option soon.

It's a multiplayer clone of a DOS classic indie game (Liero). It requires getting familiar with controls and other players to be online to play though. Full disclosure: I'm a contributor.

  Thanks! I have a couple of games that I like which also miss mobile support, I'll have to add a desktop only category one day and show it for people visiting on desktop.
