Arcade Games

I build video games from scratch, and I will build one for your business, your family or a gift. Every game comes with its own original music and runs in a web browser on any device — a phone, a tablet, a laptop, or a TV with a browser on it.

I make video games and I will make one for you. It can have you in it, your name, your colors, whatever you want it to be about. Every game gets its own music that I write, and it plays on a computer, a phone or a tablet.

Who is this for?

Read this part first

You need a parent. I am not allowed to take money from a kid without a grown-up saying yes first, and I will not do it. Show them this page, and when they are okay with it, we start. If you are saving up, the two cheapest games are at the top of the list and they are real games, not baby versions.

Why a business would want one

A game is something people choose to pick up, which almost no advertising gets to say. Yours has your name, your colors and your products inside it, it lives at a web address you can send anybody, and it comes with print-ready QR artwork for the counter so people can scan and play while they wait. Nobody has to download anything. It works on the phone already in their hand.

Pick a game

One price each, cheapest first. Every one of them runs in a browser, so there is nothing for anybody to install.

3D Game

Real 3D — you move a camera around a world instead of looking at it from the side. It costs more because 3D is about twice the work.

Order more than one, pay less

The second game is cheaper to build because it shares the idea, the characters and the music with the first. That saving goes to you — but only if they are ordered together.

BEST VALUE

Twin Build

The same game built twice — once in 2D, once in 3D. Same characters, same music, same idea, two completely different ways to play it.

10% off both
TWO GAMES

Double Up

Any two different games ordered at the same time. They do not have to be related in any way.

5% off both
THREE OR MORE

Arcade Pack

Three or more games on one order. Good for a business that wants a small arcade of its own.

10% off all of them
  • Everything has to be on the same order form. That is what makes the saving real — I build them together.
  • The discount comes off the game prices. Add-ons and rush are not discounted.
  • I cannot add a discount to an order that is already started.

How ordering works

1

Tell me the idea

Tell me your idea

We fill in a short order form together: what the game is about, who or what is in it, and the date you need it by.

2

Pay half

Half the price up front is what starts the work. For anyone under 18, a parent has to approve it before I take any money.

Half the money up front is what starts the work — and it has to come from a parent, not from you.

3

I build it

You get two rounds of changes for free. More changes after that are $15 a round, so save them up and send them together.

4

Play it

Pay the other half and it is yours — a link you can share forever, and the files to keep.

One promise

Nothing in your game is copied from another game. No borrowed names, no borrowed characters, no borrowed artwork, and no borrowed music. Everything in it is made for you, including the soundtrack. That is not a rule somebody gave me — it is how all fifteen of the games on this site are built.

Send me the idea

Tell me what the game is about and who is in it. You get a price and a date back — no cost, no obligation.
