itch.io remains the friendliest home for experimental browser games. Your job is to reduce friction: play in one click, understand controls in five seconds, and trust you with updates.
Page structure
- Title + genre tag in first line of description.
- Embed above the fold on desktop; mobile gets a giant Play link.
- Controls section duplicated near embed and in README.
Pricing
Pay-what-you-want with a suggested price signals confidence. Free with tip jar works for portfolio builds—say so honestly.
Builds
For HTML5, zip the smallest dist/ that runs standalone. Test unzip → open index.html locally (or host static) before upload.
Devlogs
Short, dated entries beat manifestos. “0.2 — fixed Safari audio” builds follower trust.
FAQ
Do I need a trailer? Helpful; a 30s capture is enough at first.
Cross-link hub listing? Yes—link your vibe-coded games entry and developer profile.
Next steps
YGG Play helps indies meet players where they already browse.
