Notes from the team building Remix. Product, games, and the occasional opinion.
The World Cup is here. So are the games.
A tournament moves at the speed of a group chat. Most games about it move at the speed of a publishing calendar. On Remix, the soccer games show up while the matches are still being played, and you can play a few of them right here.
The Million-Play Club — the games that proved the whole thesis
Four games on Remix have crossed a million plays each, made by people who described what they wanted and shipped it. Here's the club, and the creators behind it.
Puzzle games are the new doomscroll
Wordle, 2048, Candy Crush: the puzzle loop is the most replayed format in gaming. On Remix it's a feed you scroll, not an app you download.
Candy Crush walked so Geo Crush could swipe
King built a billion-dollar empire on match-3 and timers. On Remix the puzzle is the same. The toll booth isn't.
We handed the whole site to John Wick for two weeks
Lionsgate Club x Remix: $10K, 943 games, and a feed full of Continental chaos. Here is why we keep betting on jams over roadmaps.
Arcade games, no quarters, no ads
The arcade never died. It moved into your phone. Pac-Man, Crossy Road, Geometry Dash all share one loop, and on Remix you play it without an ad break.
Summer Game Fest and the $60 question
Every June the industry shows trailers for games you'll buy in two years. Remix ships games you can play before the keynote ends.
Switch 2 and the one-tap test
Nintendo shipped a $450 console the same week people opened Remix and played a game in four seconds. Both can be true.
Season One — play, streak, win
Season 1 is always on: daily streak rewards, tier progression, loot boxes, and sweepstakes tied to the games you already play.
Vibe-coding a bullet hell
Galaga and Geometry Wars took studios to build. Now you describe the game you want and watch it come alive. Welcome to vibe coding a shooter.
Play games, win real prizes
Sweepstakes on Remix turn everyday play into entries for real prizes: tickets, one game, stack entries, trust the results.
The endless jump never gets old
From Super Mario to Doodle Jump, "go up" is the most durable idea in games. Creators on Remix keep finding new ways to climb.
We ran a jam on games you send to a friend
Friend Jam: $2K, 337 games, 655K plays. Built for the group chat challenge, not solo grind.
Remix it — one game, a hundred forks
agar.io spawned a thousand clones the hard way. On Remix, forking a hit and making it yours takes a tap, not a teardown.
Remix on World App
Open Remix inside World App: World ID sign-in, the full game feed, and exclusive sweepstakes drops for verified players.
Describe it, ship it, get paid
Vibe coding lowered the barrier to making games. Boosts, rewards, and tournaments give creators a reason to keep shipping.
A weekend of Dracula, Frankenstein, and playable gothic lit
Gothic Games: $1.5K, 240 entries, and a feed of public-domain monsters turned into arcade loops.
Small rules, limitless depth
Chess has six pieces. Threes has one move. The best strategy games hide an ocean of depth behind a rule you learn in ten seconds.
The Minecraft movie installed the wrong habit
A billion people know the block game. Almost none of them will make one. That's the gap Remix is aimed at.
Pick-up sports in your pocket
NBA Jam and Alto's Adventure proved sports games don't need rulebooks. Remix has a whole feed of them, and it keeps growing.
The Remix creator economy
A feed full of players, tools to ship in an afternoon, and multiple paths to earn. This is what a creator platform looks like when you skip the gatekeepers.
24 hours. Greek mythology. 124 games.
The 24h Flash Jam: $1K split across top 10, Greek myth as theme, and a feed filled before the clock ran out.
Drift forever, no pit stops for ads
Mobile racing got hijacked by energy timers and ad walls. Mario Kart never made you watch a commercial to take the next lap. Neither do we.
Learning that doesn't feel like homework
Duolingo and Kahoot proved a lesson goes down better as a game. Remix has a whole category of them, built by people who actually wanted to learn the thing.
Remix on iOS and Android
The full Remix feed (play, build, boost, and enter sweepstakes) is on the App Store and Google Play.
Games safe enough to hand a kid
Toca Boca and PBS Kids built trust by being simple, gentle, and ad-free. The Kids category on Remix aims for the same bar.
Cryptoys Zoo-F-O characters became playable in ten days
Cryptoys x Remix: $5K, 317 submissions, and a feed of collectible-character arcade games.
Rhythm games, made by ear
Guitar Hero and Beat Saber needed studios and hardware. Now you can vibe-code a rhythm game and have people playing it the same day.
Wordle walked so the Remix puzzle feed could run
Wordle proved a tiny puzzle could own the internet for a year. On Remix that daily-habit loop runs with no cooldown, across staff picks like Geo Crush and 2048.
We put $5K on satisfying games, word puzzles, and flick sports
Bounty Jam: 306 games, 536K plays, and three clear bounties. Satisfying loops, word games, and flick-to-score sports.
Boost the creators you love
Players spend Bits. Creators keep most of it. Boosts are the simplest way to pay someone for a game that made your day better.

Remix x Gam3s.gg: $5K, 192 games, and 670K plays from the web3 gaming community’s home turf.
