How it works
Describe your idea
Tell Morph, Arcade's building assistant, what you want: "a tycoon game where monsters run a café".
Shape your world
Move things around, add characters and NPCs, change the look until it feels right.
Add the rules
Give players a goal, a way to win and a reason to come back: a timer, a score, a boss.
Publish and share
Put your game on the Arcade marketplace and send the link. Friends play instantly in their browser.

- Tycoon and simulation: run a café, a campsite or a theme park and grow your empire.
- Obby and platformer: jump across a sky course with checkpoints and a timer.
- Shooter and arena: fight NPC rivals in an arena, survive waves, upgrade your weapon.
- Sports: soccer, basketball, races against the clock.
- Puzzle and adventure: explore strange worlds and solve your way out.

Run, jump, balance and climb through a stadium obstacle course. Reach the summit before time runs out, but one splash ends your attempt.
Tips for your first game
Start small
One map, one goal, one mechanic. A small game that works is better than a big one that is empty. You can always add levels later.
Show the goal and the controls
The number one reason players quit a new game is not knowing what to do. Put the goal and the keys on screen at the start.
Fill the world
An empty map feels unfinished. Add decor, obstacles, NPCs and things to collect so there is always something nearby.
Playtest before you publish
Play your game from the start like a new player would. Can you move? Can you win? Can you lose? Fix anything that blocks you.
