Hi! This is very cool. I'm working on a privacy focused browser-based game and really appreciate your attention to detail and privacy. I also appreciate the AI disclosure. It can be a touchy subject so kudos for getting it out there up-front. Nice work!

Also, the 8 Legs to Love (could be user error). How does it work if you don't have a numeric keypad on your laptop and it says press 2 to start? Could just be me, but wanted to ensure you have that feedback :)

Oh, the pixel fonts are a little awkward to get used to at the start haha. It says press Z to start, not 2.

Thanks! I try to be as transparent as possible.

This just reminded me of playing web games on websites like Miniclip and Armor Games when I was a kid. The instant switching is pretty cool, I remember having to wait a bit sometimes for the games to load.

Love the idea, it took me straight back to my childhood. I've already played a few games. It would be great if they were playable in landscape too when I turn the phone sideways.

It should be working fine in landscape mode, what kind of behavior are you getting?

When I play in landscape mode, the game size shrinks. I was expecting it to be larger.
