Two weeks ago, I had zero published games. Today, I have 27 playable browser games live on the internet. No game engine. No framework. No server. J...

Honestly this is the biggest lesson most of us learn late — shipping volume changes everything. I had the same experience while building small browser tools: the first one took days, but after a few, I could launch new ones in hours because 70% was reusable. Also +1 on SEO and separate pages — that’s where real traffic starts coming.
Exactly this. The first game took a full day, but by game 10, I had the boilerplate (canvas setup, game loop, collision detection, score tracking) down to maybe 30 minutes. The biggest speedup was having a template with GoatCounter, SEO schema, and cross-links baked in from the start. Thanks for the encouragement!
I enjoyed reading this. Micro games are a great way to test ideas quickly without spending months on development, and they often help developers improve their design and coding skills. The same focus on simplicity and performance is one of the reasons I like using the Aether SX2 emulator to revisit classic PS2 games.
Really enjoyed the point about focusing on the core gameplay loop instead of adding unnecessary complexity. The comparison between different genres also shows how much player engagement depends on the mechanics and overall experience, rather than simply the amount of content. This is especially interesting when looking at classic PS2 Games, where many titles built lasting appeal around distinctive gameplay mechanics and well-designed loops. The idea of shipping, testing, and refining those core experiences is a valuable lesson for both new and experienced game developers.
