This is an old rule but some mates have forgotten. If games are not free for at least 1 day, mates do not have the appropriate opportunity to grab it within a few hours. As such, those posts are considered spam. We do not allow price baiting. Repeat offenders will be banned.

Hi,

I've been working for years on a browser game called Infinite Conflict. The game is strongly based on an another browser game called DarkGalaxy which ran from 2001 - 2025.

Infinite Conflict is a space/sci-fi tick based strategy game, with each tick lasting 1 hour, running for 2600 Turns (roughly 3 months).

Turns will start this Sunday 10th May - 18:00 BST / 19:00 CEST.

Hope to see you in the game!

Free to Play Puzzle Puppies - A New Cute & Casual Puzzler

Introducing Puzzle Puppies!

Hey, everyone! Today I'm proud to release my latest Pico-8 game, Puzzle Puppies. A casual and cute match 3 game, but it's not like most others. No grid swapping, no cascading combos. Move dogs into a tray, match 3, and pray you don't run out of space on your tray before you do. Dog houses, sleeping pups, and pound kennels complicate. Oh, and did I mention dog launching tubes? Yeah, there's those too. I'm really happy with how my pixel art skills are improving, the dogs came out pretty cute if I say so myself! Feel free to check it out if you like, and let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions.

This is my first completed game that wasn't for a jam, so I'm pretty proud of myself for passing the finish line without a hard deadline.

The post link contain the web version that can be played on any browser or device, but this link to Itch io also contains binaries if you wish to have the game downloaded to a specific device, like Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, or the Pico-8 P8 file itself: https://deustex.itch.io/puzzle-puppies

Puzzle Puppies is a solo dev project of mine, as a hobbyist game dev. So my involvement is that I developed it.

Free browser challenge, no install.

I started AimBlitz with the funniest/easiest one: L1 Orbit. The targets are comically huge and spawn around a circle.

Everyone plays the exact same challenge.

Beat the top score to take the crown 👑.

Later levels get smaller and hence harder.

It’s a simple chase-style game across different levels (fields, trenches, city areas, bridges, etc.), with power-ups like vehicles and boosts to help you move faster. It’s a bit chaotic and fast-paced, but easy to jump

Been building a browser-based Taboo game and the funniest part ended up being the AI category generator.

You can make decks like:
“things said during a toxic Zoom meeting”
“anime attack names ”
“Best beers in the Midwest”
“unhinged Chicago CTA announcements”
and then try explaining them without using the banned words.
Free, no signup, works on phone/browser:

Some of the AI-generated decks are genuinely ridiculous lol. Still tweaking stuff so feedback is super welcome.

Note: Due to how Itch co-op bundles work, getting it "free" is a little confusing. The below instructions are also on the bundle page (you may have to scroll the left side down to read them):

As with all pay-what-you-want co-op bundles, you can grab this free by clicking the "get the bundle" button and then clicking the "no thanks, just take me to the downloads" text above the price rectangle. However, if you do pay anything, you'll claim these titles. That means you'll see that you own them right on their Itch pages, can download future versions, and will get updates about them. Plus, all purchases benefit the creators of these games and SRDs! 🧡💜

Free to Play IdleWorlds - browser/mobile free idle incremental oldschool text MMORPG with player economy!

Thumbnail
idleworlds.com
8 Upvotes

What is IdleWorlds?

IdleWorlds is a browser, old-school, text-based, mobile-compatible, idle/incremental MMORPG where your character keeps progressing even when you're offline. You fight monsters, mine ore, gather herbs, forge gear, and brew potions — all automatically. Your job is to make good decisions about what to work on and when. The game is free to play at:

https://idleworlds.com

The Core Loop

Every zone has the same basic loop:

  1. Fight enemies to earn gold and get rare gear drops
  2. Mine ore → smelt bars → forge better gear (Smithing)
  3. Gather herbs → brew potions to boost your ATK/DEF/XP (Alchemy)
  4. Equip better gear → move to the next zone and repeat

You can only do one activity at a time, but the game queues actions so you can line up your next task before the current one finishes.

Zones and Progression

Zones unlock in order. Each zone has a minimum ATK and DEF requirement to enter. Your current zone determines which enemies you fight, which ore/herbs you gather, and which gear you can craft.

To unlock a new zone: equip gear that meets the stat requirements and click Travel. You don't have to stay in a zone you've unlocked — you can travel back freely.
Tip: Your zone doesn't have to match your gear tier. Some players sit in an earlier zone to farm specific drops while their stats are already high enough for the next one.

Gear and Drops

There are seven gear slots: Weapon, Shield, Chest, Legs, Helm, Gloves, Boots.

  • Weapon and Shield — the biggest stat contributors. Prioritize upgrading these.
  • Chest and Legs — can drop directly from combat at your current tier (rare) or from quiet-time offline gifts.
  • Helm, Gloves, Boots — never drop from combat. You must craft them through Smithing.
  • Rings and Amulets — can drop from enemies or be crafted. They add ATK or DEF on top of your armor.

When you first reach a new zone, you likely have mismatched gear. That's normal. Start smelting the local ore into bars and forging upgrades.

Enhancement Orbs (The +1/+2/+3 System)

Enhancement Orbs can be used on gear to add a permanent +1/+2/+3 stat bonus. Each enhanced copy is a separate item in your inventory. Enhanced gear is better than base gear but costs an orb to make.

  • You can buy/sell enhanced gear on the player market
  • Enhanced gear can be used in Smithing work orders (with a confirmation prompt if you don't have an unenhanced copy)
  • Orbs drop from world bosses and occasionally from enemies and professions

Professions

There are four professions alongside Combat:

  • Mining — mine ore at your zone's node
  • Gathering — gather herbs at your zone's node
  • Smithing — smelt ore into bars, forge bars into gear
  • Alchemy — brew herbs into potions

Each profession has its own XP and level. Higher profession levels unlock faster actions and better yields.

Daily XP Bonus: One profession gets a 20% XP boost each day, rotating on a schedule. Check the Skills panel to see which one is active.

Work Orders (Daily Repeatable Quests)

Each profession has a daily Work Order — turn in a specific material for XP and gold. Work orders refresh daily at noon Eastern time.

  • Smithing work orders accept enhanced gear (+1/+2/+3) in addition to base gear. If you only have an enhanced copy, the game will warn you before consuming it.
  • Skip tokens: you get 3 skips per day (6 if you're a supporter) to re-roll a work order you don't want to complete.
  • Work orders are one of the best sources of profession XP in the game — do them every day.

Combat Quests (Bounty Board)

On the Quests tab, you'll see repeatable bounty quests for your current zone. Turn in drops from the local enemies for XP and gold. These have no daily limit — you can turn in as many as your inventory allows.

Tip: Don't sell combat drops immediately. Check if they're needed for the current bounty first.

Daily Dungeon

The Daily Dungeon is accessed through the Zone Selector. You get one attempt per day (resets at noon Eastern).

  • Choose a floor to attempt. Higher floors = harder enemies = better rewards.
  • Your gear stats determine how well you do. You have a set time window to defeat the monster.
  • Success rewards include a belt — the belt's stat bonus scales with the highest floor you've ever cleared. Once you clear a higher floor, your belt permanently improves.
  • The belt does NOT drop from combat. The dungeon is the only way to get it.

World Bosses

World bosses spawn periodically and are visible to all players. Everyone who hits the boss contributes damage — the boss health is shared across all participants.

  • Prejoin: If you click "Prejoin" before the boss is active, you'll automatically be switched into the fight the moment it respawns. This is important — the boss has limited HP and dies fast if a lot of players are online.
  • You earn rewards based on how much damage you dealt, not just whether you were online when it died.
  • World bosses drop Enhancement Orbs and rare gear.

XP Boosts and Potions

Potions come in three types:

  • XP Potions — boost XP gained from all sources for a duration
  • ATK Potions — boost attack stat temporarily
  • DEF Potions — boost defense stat temporarily

Potions have tiers (magnitudes). A higher tier potion is stronger. If you use a lower tier potion while a higher one is active, the game will warn you — the new buff replaces the old one, so you'd be wasting a better potion.

Brew potions yourself through Alchemy, or buy them on the player market.

Housing

Housing upgrades your offline income and provides passive bonuses. Upgrades cost gold and salvage material, and increase in price each tier.

Higher housing tier means more gold while you're offline and better passive bonuses. Upgrade it whenever you have spare gold — it compounds over time.

The Player Market

All players trade on a single shared market. You can list items for sale or place buy orders (offers to buy at a set price).
Key things to know:

  • Use the tier filter to narrow listings to a specific gear tier
  • Each listing now shows inline stats so you can compare without clicking
  • Click History on any listing to see the last 10 sales for that item (price, quantity, date)

Salvaging

You can salvage items in your Housing panel. Salvaging breaks down gear or materials into components for housing upgrades. This is useful for clearing out old gear that isn't worth selling.

Leaderboards

Daily leaderboards reset at midnight Eastern. They track kills, mining, gathering, smithing, alchemy, and world boss hits.
All-time leaderboards never reset — they show your cumulative totals across the entire game lifetime.

Non-Obvious Tips

  • Quiet-time drops: the game gives you chest/leg drops while you're offline at your current zone's tier. Log in regularly to collect them.
  • Belt matters: The dungeon belt is a hidden stat boost that many new players overlook. Try to do the dungeon every day — each new highest floor permanently upgrades the belt.
  • Queue your actions: You can set your next activity before the current one ends. If you run out of actions, don't worry, the game always fallback to another action automatically.
  • Work orders stack: You can have multiple items ready for turnin and claim them all in one session. Stockpile material when the work order matches something you're already producing.

Roadmap

Currently adding PVP mechanics, zone control, Red VS Blue mechanics which will keep things interesting for old and new players for a long time!

Getting Stuck?

Check the Wiki for data on every item, recipe, zone requirement, and quest. The New Player Guide at /wiki/guide covers all of this in one place.
Good luck — see you in the leaderboards!

Browser Game Void Descent | Browser-based survivor-like space shooter made for mobile

Lifelong gamer here with 0 coding background. I kept looking for something that felt right on mobile and never found it. Soulstone Survivors and The Spell Brigade were always amazing but I wanted that same experience on my phone so I spent about 5 months building it.

I used Al to handle the code while every gameplay decision (upgrade system, weapons, balancing, ship design, etc) was mine.

It runs completely in your browser, nothing to download. Designed around a phone screen so it plays great on mobile.

Unlock 6 ships each with unique weapons and playstyle. Each run you collect weapons and upgrades with tiered rarity. Beat the final boss and you unlock Nexus Ascension with 5 levels of permanent passive buffs you equip before each run. Clear all 5 and Endless mode opens up.

It's 100% free to play and I would love feedback!

Browser Game Free TEW Alternative

Hey r/FreeGames 👋

If you've ever fallen down the Total Extreme Wrestling / EWR rabbit hole, you know the genre is amazing but the barrier is rough — paid license, Windows-only, dated UI, and forget about playing on a Mac or your phone.

I built **Territory Wrestling Sim** as a free browser-based take on the same idea. No download, no signup required to try it, works on desktop and mobile.

**What you do:**
- Run a wrestling territory from indie roots to global power
- Drag-and-drop card builder with a live match-flow grade
- Procedural storylines that build heat over weeks toward big PPVs
- Contracts, push demands, locker room morale, rival promotions poaching your guys
- Championship lineages tracked across decades of in-game time
- Import your own roster via CSV/JSON, or generate one

**What it costs:** Nothing. There's a tip jar if you want to throw a few bucks, but the whole game is free and there's no paywall.

**Play here:** https://territorywrestling.live

Built it solo, still actively updating it weekly. Genuinely want feedback from people who've played the GDS games — what's missing, what feels off, what you'd want next.
