  • Every version kept, and any of them restored in one step

Adding features is free
Contributors use their own AI subscription, like Claude, and need only a free account. Plans are for the games you host.
Playing is free
Anyone can play a public or shared game, with no account.
What counts
Every game you haven't paused counts toward your plan, published or not. A paused game keeps everything, and nobody can play it.
Change plans any time
A bigger plan starts right away, and you pay the difference for the rest of the month. A smaller one starts at your next renewal.
When a plan ends
Games your plan no longer covers are paused, not deleted. You choose which to host again from your dashboard.
Kinds of game
Solo and Puzzle games are single-player. Battler, Racer, Party and Board games are multiplayer. World and Overworld games are worlds. A game you bring from elsewhere is the kind you pick for it.
