NINE GAMES

Pick a game, make it theirs

A maze chase, a platformer, a space shooter, a coin catcher, a brick breaker, a falling-block puzzle, a bomber, a road racer and a ghoul patrol. Play a free demo of any of them before you buy. Most of them end each level with a boss, and every boss is different.

Every game stars a pixel hero built to look like the person it is for. You choose the face, hair, glasses, hat and outfit, and watch them change as you go.

QUICK ANSWERS

Good to know

Do they need to download anything?+

No. There is no app to install and nothing to sign up for. The game opens from a link in the browser already on a phone, tablet or computer, so it works on almost any modern device. Trio and Arcade also include a single file for each game that you can keep, which works without internet.

How long does it take?+

Straight away. Build it, pay, and your game link appears as soon as the payment goes through.

Can I get a refund?+

Each game is made to order and is ready within moments of payment, so you cannot cancel for a change of mind once it is ready. You tick a box to confirm that before you pay. If the game is faulty or not as described, we will fix it or refund you. Use the contact form and we will sort it out.

Will it work on an older phone, or one that cannot update?+

Very likely, yes. The game is not an app, so there is nothing to download and no app store involved. It is an ordinary web page that opens in the browser already on the phone, and it does not need the latest iOS or Android update or a new handset. That makes it a good gift for anyone who cannot upgrade their phone. It has been built to run on phones from several years back, but we cannot test every model, so a very old phone with an out-of-date browser may struggle. You can check by opening the free demo on that phone before you buy.
