The arcade floor
Browse like a regular
The catalog at /games lists all 34 titles. Each game has a detail page (guide link, metadata, play-rate badge, AI badges) and a play page — the PlayGate shell around the isolated frame. Add ?match= to a play URL to join a match.
🖺️ Detail page
/games/[slug]Read the guide when present — controls, scoring, secrets. Check the rate badge before you play.
▶️ Play shell
/games/[slug]/playSigned-in coin sessions around the frame. Guests get quota + skippable house ads.
🏆 Leaderboards
/leaderboardsKills, actions, play-time from aggregate telemetry. Handles + totals only.
The meter is running (gently)
Rentals: load fee + per-second play
Signed-in play never shows ads — it meters coins instead, with the 25% cut already inside every figure. Two parts:
4weird.com — play session receipt
live meterstill-playing check every 5h · heartbeats bill the delta · devs set 0–100 coins/load+hr
- Load fee (default 1 coin / MiB): proportional to exact bytes — sub-MB loads pay their exact fraction down to 1 centicentcoin. Same version free 24h.
- Running play (default 1 coin/hr): billed per second from the first second — 100 centicentcoins over 3,600 seconds. 1-minute heartbeats bill only the delta.
- Developer rates 0–100: mapped devs set their own per-load + per-hour; 0 = free game. The public price list is always visible first.
- AI bills on top, only when used — see Game AI & Buddy.
No account? no problem
Guests play free (with skips)
Guests never pay: a guest pass (IP-throttled) gives 3 free loads/day, then instantly-skippable house ads keep you playing, with a banner every 30 minutes. Trade-off: no saves, multiplayer, AI, or Buddy.

Telemetry, leaderboards, lobbies
Gameplay emits aggregate events powering /leaderboards (handles + totals, anonymous-friendly). Telemetry never decides billing — the rental session does. Find humans in /lobbies and join via ?match= links; for a permanent home, join a clan.
