About the Site

Original Games,
A Growing Arcade

YoyoArena is a free browser-games portal: a library of original arcade, puzzle and strategy games built by YoyoArena.

The Site

What YoyoArena Is

YoyoArena is a browser-games portal. The library holds 23 games in 3 categories (15 arcade, 4 puzzle, 4 strategy). Each game opens on its own page, which carries a description, the controls, tips, a short note on how the game was designed and a few frequently asked questions.

Every game was built by YoyoArena and is hosted on this site; none is licensed or embedded from another site. The games are laid out portrait-first for phones and also run in desktop browsers.

" Every game can be played from its own page, with or without an account.

Accounts are optional. An account adds a dashboard that lists the games, a profile page, and email about new games and blog posts that you can unsubscribe from. It does not store your scores; the games keep those in your browser.

The how-it-works page covers accounts and saved scores in detail, the Player's Guide groups the games by control style, and the blog has articles about browser games. Questions and reports go through the contact page.

What It Is For

A Small Library of Games Worth Replaying

The aim is a small, coherent catalog of arcade, puzzle and strategy browser games, each good enough to replay, presented with a clean interface and a page of plain explanation per game.

Playing and registering are free, and nothing on the site is for sale.

Standard display advertising, where it appears on the site, is meant to cover the running costs.

Where We Are

The Platform Today

YoyoArena is small. The game counts below are read from the site's database, so they match the library as it stands today.

Games in the Library

Built by YoyoArena. Every game runs in the browser on a phone or a laptop, with nothing to install.

Arcade Games

Short, score-driven games built around timing, aiming and reflexes, from stacking blocks to bowling. Browse arcade.

4

Puzzle Games

Games that ask for planning more than reflexes: drawing lines, cutting ropes, rotating tiles and matching gems. Browse puzzle.

4

Strategy Games

Games about routing aircraft and trains, lining up artillery shots and placing turrets. Browse strategy.

$0

Price of Playing

Registering and playing both cost nothing, and no payment information is collected from players.

What You Can Check

How the Site Behaves

Three facts about the site that are described on the page itself, so you can compare them with what you see.

The Same Games for Everyone

Every visitor gets the same games, with or without an account. There are no tiers or boosters to unlock.

Scores Stay on Your Device

The games do not send scores to our servers. Many keep a best score or progress in your browser, which is also why YoyoArena has no shared leaderboards.

How It Is Built

The Work Behind the Arena

The site has two parts, and both are written by YoyoArena: the platform that serves the pages, and the games that run inside them.

Engineering

The platform code: accounts, the dashboard, and the pages around the library.

Games

The arcade, puzzle and strategy games in the library, built for portrait phone screens.

Contact

Questions, feedback and reports about the site go through the contact page.

The platform code is deliberately small: page rendering, accounts and the dashboard. Each game is a self-contained browser program that loads when you press Play on its page.
