CLI-Games for creators

Your game.
One command away.

We are inviting a small group of browser-game creators to help shape a hosting program built around careful presentation, honest attribution, and a terminal audience that still loves finding something unexpected.

What you bring / what we add

A home for the game you already made.

This is a design-partner program for finished, original browser games. You bring the game and retain ownership. We bring the hosting surface, creator workspace, review pipeline, and a catalog where a short command can become someone's next favorite discovery.

Credit that leads somewhere

Your public game page names you as creator and can link players to your own site.

Your build stays identifiable

An exact ZIP fingerprint binds the build you preview, submit, review, and release.

Signals without surveillance

Privacy-minimized aggregate play telemetry helps you see whether players start, continue, and finish.

From your machine to the catalog

You see the build before anyone else does.

Nothing becomes public at upload. Your workspace is the proving ground; submission is a separate, deliberate act.

  1. 01

    Start a conversation

    Tell us about the finished browser game you want players to discover. Applications and invitations are reviewed; this is not instant, open publication.

  2. 02

    Package one ZIP

    Keep the game self-contained and playable offline. We review the package and run it in a restricted, cookie-free sandbox.

  3. 03

    Play it in private

    Upload into your account-bound workspace and test the saved build before it enters our review queue.

  4. 04

    Submit the exact build

    Your metadata, terms acceptance, and the exact ZIP fingerprint travel together. The build you preview is the build we review.

  5. 05

    Launch after review

    If the game clears rights, safety, controls, and catalog review, it can receive a CLI-Games page, command, creator credit, and optional link to your site.

A useful, bounded view

Learn what lands. Leave players private.

Your workspace can show privacy-minimized aggregate telemetry for the last 7, 30, or 90 days: starts, endings, outcomes, and the progress or score your game reports. It covers consented play only and is not a player-history feed or session replay.

The candid part

An invitation to shape this with us.

We are early, selective, and looking for thoughtful design partners—not promising a flood of traffic, revenue, or permanent hosting. You can withdraw your game. Every accepted game must be suitable for children old enough to use a shell, and every package goes through security and catalog review.

You keep
Ownership of your game and control over whether it remains hosted.
We commit to
A private preview, an identifiable build, honest credit, and a human review.
We do not promise
Traffic, revenue, acceptance, or hosting without an end date.

Have a game in mind?

Send a short introduction and a playable link if you have one. We review each application and invite promising fits into a private creator workspace.
