Accounts & sharing

You can play without an account — progress is kept on your device. An account lets you build games, keep your library across devices, and follow creators.

Playing as a guest

No sign-up needed to play. Your progress and inventory are saved to this device. Signing in later keeps your library in one place across devices.

Signing up & becoming a creator

  1. Create an account from “Sign in”, then verify your email.
  2. Turn on the creator role from the account menu to open the Studio.
  3. Head to Your games and build your first game.

Game visibility

Each game has one of three visibility levels:

  • Private — only you can see it. New games start here, so you can build in peace.
  • Unlisted — anyone with the link or code can play, but it won’t appear in Browse.
  • Public — listed in Browse for everyone to find.

Sharing a game

Unlisted and public games get a share link and a short code. Send the link, or let someone enter the code from the front door — either way it drops them straight into your game.

Note

A private game can’t be played by anyone else until you change its visibility, even if they have the link.
