How do I share my game with people?

Updated October 12, 2026

The short answer

The easiest way to share a small game is a link that opens it in the browser: you send it on WhatsApp or post it on your account and people play at once, with nothing to download or install. App stores and PC game platforms require developer accounts, review and rules, and suit a mature game rather than a first experiment. Start with a link, listen to players, then decide.

PC game platformsAn account, fees and a store pageA larger game people pay for

Before you send the link

  1. 1
    Try it on a phone and a computer

    Check that the touch controls work and that the game does not stutter on a mid-range phone.

  2. 2
    Make the start instant

    One clear Start button. Every extra screen before play costs you players.

  3. 3
    Explain the controls in one line

    A short sentence on the first screen: how to move and how to jump.

  4. 4
    Ask for one piece of feedback

    With the link, ask something specific such as 'Where did you get stuck?' instead of 'What do you think?'.

Where to put the link

  • WhatsApp groups, family and friends first.
  • Your social accounts, with a short clip of gameplay.
  • A printed QR code in your shop or at your event.
  • Your website, if the game is part of a campaign.

How do I make a branded game for my business?

A branded game is a short game in your business's colors and logo that a customer plays on their phone for a minute and then reaches your offer. The simplest work best: a familiar genre like a runner or a quiz, a round under a minute, and an ending with a clear call such as a coupon or an order link. Publish it as a browser link, with no download.

Can I earn money from a small game?

Possibly, but nobody can promise you an income. Small games mostly earn indirectly: a business pays you to make a game for its campaign, you sell game-making as a service to schools and shops, you put the game on your own site to attract visitors, or you run it as a prize contest. Selling the game or relying on ads needs a large audience.

Can I make a game with just my phone or laptop?

Yes. An ordinary laptop is enough to make a simple game if you use a tool that runs in the browser, with no gaming machine and nothing to install. On a phone you can play the game and ask for small changes, but a bigger screen and a keyboard are far more comfortable for long sessions. 3D games lean harder on the device, so test on your weakest one.

How can I make a game without coding?

You can make a game without coding in three ways: a game engine with visual tools where you drag objects and wire up rules, a ready template whose art and levels you change, or an AI builder where you describe the game in plain words and play it in the browser within minutes. Whichever you pick, start tiny: one character, one goal, one level.
