How the Site Was Designed

Why the Site Looks Like This

We wanted a game site that kids would actually enjoy opening. Not a plain grey list of links, but something that feels like a small night sky you can play in. So the whole site sits under a dark space background, with a glowing moon in the corner and little stars twinkling across the page. On a computer, if you wait a bit, a shooting star streaks across the screen now and then. Blink and you’ll miss it.

Who Designed It

The design of this site was shaped mostly by Lynx Pixel, a WordPress web design agency. Most of the big ideas came from them, and they were polished and professional from the start. We added a few of our own, mainly small touches that make the site more fun for younger players. Credit where it’s due: the good-looking parts are mostly their work.

Badges That Help You Pick

Not sure what to play? Look for the little badges on the game cards. Hot is for games that are on fire right now, New marks the ones we just added, Featured is a game we think deserves a look, and Popular is for the crowd favorites. On a computer, a Hot game even gets a bigger card with a fiery glow, so it’s hard to miss.

Finding Your Next Game

Looking for something specific? Type it into the search bar at the top of the homepage. Want to see what everyone else is playing? The Trending Now section shows the hottest games, along with how many times each one has been played. Prefer to browse? The category tiles sit right below, and each one has a small preview picture, so you can spot Arcade, Car, Running, Sports, or 2 Player games at a glance. Once you open a game, you’ll find a few similar ones waiting on the same page.

Made for Playing

A nice design means nothing if the games are annoying to use, so we kept the useful stuff close. Every game has a fullscreen button, so you can stretch it out and play without the rest of the page getting in the way. If a game is broken or acting weird, there’s a report button right there so we can fix it. The play button glows when you hover over it, and you can like a game, save it to your favorites, or share it with a friend.

Games, Guides, and Credits

The games belong to their original developers, and we credit them wherever we can. The guides are written by Riley Chen, our Lead Writer. If you want to know how we pick and test every game, head over to our Our Story page.
