About PlayPixel

PlayPixel is a small collection of HTML5 browser games. Every title here is an open source project made by an independent developer and used under its own licence. We host each game from its published source files, keep the licence in place and link back to the repository, so you can read or fork any of them. The whole point is speed: you open a page, the game is already there, and you play. No launcher, no account, no install prompt.

How games are chosen

Three rules. The licence has to permit hosting, the game has to run from static files with no server of its own, and it has to be worth a second round. That leaves a short list: a few classics, a couple of js13k competition entries and some well known open source rewrites. Authors and licences are all listed on the credits page.

Privacy and scores

Games run entirely on your device. Where a game saves a high score it uses your own browser storage, and nothing is sent to us. There is no login, no profile and no leaderboard server.

How the site is funded

The site is free and is paid for by advertising. Ads are placed around the page rather than inside the games, so nothing interrupts a run. You can read more in ourprivacy policy andcookie policy.
