About — Gam3bug Arcade

A Small Arcade with a Big Appetite

Gam3bug is a one-person arcade. Every game here is made by hand — drawn, tuned and tested until it's fun — then put on the web where anyone can play it for free. No downloads, no accounts, no paywalls. You click, you're playing.

The shelves hold a little of everything: a UFO harvesting fast-food ingredients over scrolling cities, graveyards to defend from the shambling dead, a hive of bees holding off the zombee swarm, and a long space-war campaign among the asteroids.

Built by Hand, for the Love of It

Every title on this site is a from-scratch engineering project. The games run on custom-built engines — hand-rolled physics, procedural worlds that never build the same street twice, fixed-step simulations tuned to a frame budget, and renderers written to squeeze a whole city into a browser tab. Computer science engineering is the hobby, the job and the fun all at once — and the games are what it looks like when it ships.

Earth Burger began as a desktop arcade toy and grew into a full 3D remaster; the rest of the arcade grew up alongside it. Each game page carries its own how-to-play card, and demo versions link through to the full releases on the buy pages as they go live.

“It's a great game — I've realized my dream and made my own favourite game.”
— Dan, arcade owner & developer, on Earth Burger 2

Free Means Free

No sign-ups, no launchers, no install prompts. The games run entirely in the browser and progress is saved on your own device — close the tab, come back tomorrow, carry on where you left off. Demo builds are the first taste; full versions keep the same pick-up-and-play rules.

Play Anywhere

On a phone, a tablet, a laptop or a widescreen monitor — the games adapt to whatever you've got. Touch controls on mobile, keys and gamepads on desktop. Progress is saved on your device, so you can pick up where you left off.

Share the Fun

Every game can be shared with a link or embedded straight into another page — a single line of code puts a playable arcade cabinet on your own site. Details are on the API page.
