Take one off the shelf.
Every one is free, runs in your browser, and saves on your own device. Read about them first ↓
Free Arcade is a small collection of free arcade games that run in a browser tab. Nothing to download, nothing to install and no account to make — you open the page and the game starts. Every one is a single file, so it loads fast, keeps working when your connection drops, and can be added to your home screen and played offline like an app.
The shelf covers most of what an arcade should: a top-down shooter, a precision platformer with a level editor, two monster-catching RPGs, two fighting games, a lane defence game, a car parking game with a real steering model, a roguelike deckbuilder, a daily word puzzle, an idle game about a power grid, and a survivors-like where the swarm levels up alongside you.
They are all made by one person rather than licensed from anywhere, which is why you will not find them on the other free games sites. There are no adverts inside a game, no timers, no lives to buy back and nothing that asks for your email. If a game keeps your progress it keeps it on your own device.
