SlowDen

Submit your browser game

SlowDen is a free browser-game site, and any developer can submit a finished browser game to it at no cost. Made one? Send the link and get it played online — no downloads for players, no fees for you. You do not need to enter a challenge: any finished, playable browser game is welcome.

How do you submit a browser game to SlowDen?

  1. Host your game somewhere playable. Any engine, any skill level — itch.io, Netlify, GitHub Pages, your own site. SlowDen links to your game; nothing is uploaded here.
  2. Send the link. Fill in the form below with your game name, the link, a short description and your email, and confirm you have the rights to it.
  3. It goes live straight away. Your game appears on SlowDen as soon as you send it — no queue, no waiting. A person still plays every submission afterwards, and anything broken or unsuitable is taken down.
  4. Get a chance to be featured. Selected games can be featured on the SlowDen homepage, plus a shoutout across SlowDen's socials — a chance, never a guarantee.

Building for a challenge instead? Slow Cook is SlowDen's ongoing browser-game challenge — five prompts on the menu, closing 1 October 2026. Challenge entries go through their own form so they are judged as entries.

What should you know before you submit?

Nothing finished yet? That is the usual reason a submission never happens. Start with how to finish a game in one month — scoping a game small enough to actually ship is a separate skill from building it, and it is the one worth learning first.

Worth reading before you send anything: your game will run inside an <iframe> here, and plenty of games that work perfectly on their own page break the moment they are embedded. Why your game breaks inside an iframe covers the five that actually bite — fullscreen being off until the host grants it, storage that is missing or not the storage you think, audio that will not autoplay, the keyboard going to the host page instead of your game, and a frame that is not the size you designed for. Checking it first saves a round trip.

Submit a finished game

For any playable browser game — it does not have to be a Slow Cook entry. Your game goes live on SlowDen as soon as you send it; being featured on the homepage is still a human decision and never guaranteed. One required question at the end: how easy this was, as a rating. One click. There is a box for words too, if you have any.

Last step — how did that go?

SlowDen is run by one person, and this form is the only place anyone reports what the process is actually like. So the rating below is part of sending a game, the same as the link and the title — one click, and you are done. Rate what happened, not something nice — if a step was confusing, slow or broken, a low rating is the useful answer and costs your game nothing.

Your game must already be playable in a browser somewhere — SlowDen links to it, nothing is uploaded here. You keep your game, and you can ask for it to be removed at any time. Your email is only used to reply to you. Prefer email? slowden.official@gmail.com

Entering a Slow Cook challenge

Built a game for one of the Slow Cook challenges? Send it here instead, so it is read as a challenge entry. Your game goes live straight away; every entry is still played by a person when it comes to picking who gets featured, and being selected is never guaranteed.

Submitting your game — FAQ

Is it free to submit a game to SlowDen?

Yes. Submitting a browser game to SlowDen is completely free — there are no fees and no catch.

Do I have to enter a challenge to submit a game?

No. There are two separate routes. Use the general form for any finished browser game, whenever you made it and whatever you made it for. Use the Slow Cook form only if you built something for one of the current challenge prompts and want it read as a challenge entry.

What kind of games can I submit?

Browser-playable games (HTML5 / web games) that you host yourself — for example on itch.io, Netlify or GitHub Pages. You submit a link, and the game runs in the player’s browser with nothing to download.

Do I keep ownership of my game?

Yes. Your game stays yours. SlowDen lists it so people can play it, and you can ask for your own game to be removed at any time.

How do I submit my browser game?

Fill in the general submission form on this page with your game name, a link to where it is playable, a short description and your email, and confirm you have the rights to it. Every submission is reviewed by a person, and games have a chance to be listed or featured.

Does SlowDen guarantee traffic or a feature?

No. SlowDen is a place to share your game and be discovered, and selected games can be featured plus get a social shoutout — but there are no guaranteed views, downloads, revenue or placements.
