THE ARCADE

29 cabinets · one tap from playing · scores land on real leaderboards

TYPE IT. PLAY IT.

The Workshop forge reads a one-line prompt, picks the genre, draws the palette, lays the tiles and spawns the enemies. Seconds later it's a real cabinet — playable, shareable, on the leaderboards next to everything else.
