From The Editor's Desk

Thirty pieces of writing about HTML5 games

Reviews. Walk-throughs. The state of the browser-games industry. Technical breakdowns of how short, sharp HTML5 games are built. One piece per game in our catalogue, plus side essays on the medium itself.

Review

In-depth reviews land with each game

Every game in the Founding Twenty-Five gets a first-person review — what worked, what we missed, what we'd change. Ships alongside each batch.

About Us

A two-person editorial outfit, not a content farm.

Hage Game is run by two people. Bill handles editorial — reviews, guides, and the running order. Wei builds — the engines under the games, the front-end, the deployment pipeline. Nobody else writes for us. Nothing here is white-labelled from an aggregator.

We chose to publish twenty-five games because that's how many we could honestly make, play, and stand behind in a season. Not four hundred. Not four thousand. Twenty-five.
