What SnackArcade is
SnackArcade is a small, hand-maintained collection of browser games that load in seconds and can be finished in ten minutes. Every game on this site has a written guide next to it: what the game is, how to play it, a full controls table for keyboard and touch, and tips that came from actually playing it rather than from a press release. Nothing here needs a download, a plugin or an account. Games hosted directly on this site are open source or licensed for this use, and each one credits the developer who made it with a link back to the original source and its licence.
Tag pages need at least 6 games before they appear in search results, so the navigation only ever points at pages worth arriving on. If a category looks short today, it is because we would rather add the next game properly than pad the list.
