A pocket arcade, ready for one more round.
Play browser games
The problem
Make a varied collection of games easy to discover and quick to play, whether someone has a spare minute on their phone or wants a longer session at their desk.
My contribution
I built the games and their shared catalog, with search, category filters, favorites, and local progress. The collection runs in the browser and uses a service worker to support installation and offline play.
The result
A live collection spanning puzzles, board games, arcade classics, and original games. Players can get straight into a game without an account, keep progress on their device, and install the arcade for return visits.
A few decisions that shaped it
Start playing without setup
Account-free play keeps the first visit simple. Search and category filters help people find something familiar or discover something new.
Keep progress on the device
Local saves let players return to their games without a sign-in flow. Progress stays with the browser they use.
Make the web app feel at home
An installable PWA and offline support make the collection useful beyond a single browser visit.
