// The challenge
Most games ask for a download, an account or an app store before anyone can play. We wanted games that start the moment someone taps a link, on a phone or a laptop, and keep their saves without a login.

No accounts, ads or tracking, with saves kept on the device
Built with Nuxt, Three.js, Phaser and HTML5 Canvas.
// The build
How we built it
Every Oddvexel game has to load quickly, work on a phone and be fun within the first minute, and we would rather release a small finished game than a large unfinished one. Browser limits push us the same way, towards games that are tight and quick to start. The three out so far are a 3D open-world adventure, a top-down racer and a pixel-art action RPG.
We design for the phone from the start rather than shrinking a desktop game at the end. Each game asks to be turned sideways and is built as a progressive web app, so a player who likes one can add it to the home screen with its own icon and play it on a train or a plane with no signal.
Saves sit in the browser's storage on the player's device, and we never see them. The site is open about the cost: clearing browser data or playing in a private window deletes progress, and a save stays on the device where it was made. The contact page sends nothing itself either. It opens the visitor's email app or WhatsApp with the message filled in.
