Behind the Game

What We Cover

Pick Your Kind of Game

1

Sessions Played First

Every entry is written after spending time in the game — tracing the controls, watching the loop, and noting what actually happens during play.

  • Mechanics described from direct observation, not press materials
  • Session shape and input method confirmed before writing
  • Entries reflect the game as it behaves, not as it is marketed
2

Written Around What You Do

Descriptions focus on the player's action — how you move, what you collect, when you lose — rather than on design commentary or comparative rankings.

  • Controls, objectives, and round structure are the core of each entry
  • No scores, tiers, or verdicts attached to individual games
  • Language stays plain so the reader can form their own judgment
3

Independent, No Revenue Cuts

Pixel Dispatch takes no referral fees and has no commercial relationship with the platforms it links to.

  • No affiliate links or sponsored placements in the listings
  • Game selection is not influenced by developer relationships
  • Independence is the condition that keeps the writing honest

Mechanics Over Rankings

The editorial focus is on what a game's rules produce during a session — not on how it performs in charts or how it compares to competitors.

  • Popularity or download counts do not appear in entries
  • Design decisions are traced only where they explain player experience
  • Every entry answers the same question: what do you actually do here

What We Don't Do

Questions & Answers

What exactly is this website?

This is an independent catalogue of browser games. It hosts no games and runs no launchers; it explains what each game is and points to the platform that runs it.

Can I read the entries for free?

Yes. Browsing and reading entries is free; the games run on their own platforms.

Who hosts the games?

Each game runs on its source platform such as CrazyGames — we only describe and link to it.

How is the catalogue organised?

Browse the categories, open an entry, then follow the link to its platform.

Browser games deserve plain writing — not hype, not rankings, just a clear account of what you do when you sit down with one.
