CREATOR UPLOAD GUIDE

Prepare a game for CoPlay Forge

Browser games only

CoPlay Forge accepts small games that run directly in a web browser. During the pilot, creators submit a GitHub repository and every game is reviewed before publishing.

What you need

  • A working index.html file at the top of the game folder.
  • All CSS, JavaScript, images and sounds included in the folder.
  • Game title, description, age group, player count and play time.
  • Creator names, asset credits and an open-source licence.
  • A GitHub repository with index.html at its top level.

What is not required

  • No Apple App Store account, Xcode project or native iPhone app.
  • No paid game engine—plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript are welcome.
  • No server, database, login system or payment system for a small game.
  • No AI is required. Human-made and AI-assisted games are both welcome.
  • No perfect artwork; a clear, enjoyable playable idea matters more.

  1. BuildKeep the game focused and make sure it works with touch controls.

  3. Publish codePlace all game files in one GitHub repository with a clear README and licence.
