About NoInstallGame
A fast, no-accounts catalogue of 13,852 browser games.
What this is
NoInstallGame is a game portal in the old sense: a browsable list of things you can play the instant the page loads. 13,852 games are listed across 147 categories, and every one of them runs in a sandboxed iframe served by its publisher — nothing to install, nothing to launch first.
There are no interstitials, no "download our launcher", no stamina meters and no account wall. There are no accounts at all: this site has no database, and the only thing it remembers is your favourites, in your own browser.

Submit a game
The catalogue is mirrored from GamePix, which syndicates browser games from independent studios. If you publish with them, your game reaches this portal automatically — we do not take submissions directly.
- Publish through GamePix. Their feed supplies every game here, along with its title, description, cover art and embed URL.
- We embed, we do not host. Each game loads from the publisher's own origin in a sandboxed frame, so updates and fixes reach you without a redeploy here.
What every listing carries
- · Title and a description from the publisher
- · A 16:9 cover image, resized on the fly
- · Its category and orientation
- · The publisher's own embed URL — nothing proxied
What we will remove
- · Anything requiring a wrapper, login or download
- · Content that does not belong on a general-audience portal
- · Listings whose publisher has asked us to stop carrying them
- · Broken embeds — report one and it comes down the same day
Questions about a listing go to [email protected]. The catalogue refreshes on deploy, so a change at the publisher reaches the /new-games page the next time we ship.
Report a problem
Broken embed, wrong credit, or something in a game that should not be on a general-audience portal: mail the same address with “report: <game slug>” and we will pull it first, ask questions second. Because we embed rather than host, a reported game comes off this site on the next deploy, and the publisher is notified.
Privacy, in plain words
- There is no database and there are no accounts. Nothing you do here is stored on our servers, because there is nothing to store it in — the only thing this site keeps is a generated list of games.
- Favourites live in your browser, in localStorage under one key, and never leave your device. Clearing site data removes them for good.
- No accounts means no passwords, no email addresses and no session cookies — there is nothing for us to leak or for you to delete.
- Games load from the publisher's origin, which sees a request for its own files — the same as any iframe on the web. A sandbox and referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade" limit what leaks.
- Games may show advertising. The frame is served by the publisher, so whatever it loads is between you and them — it is not ours and we do not receive it.
Terms in five lines
- 1. Playing is free. Games remain the property of their creators; we link to publisher-hosted copies rather than copying them.
- 2. No scraping the catalogue feed at a rate that costs us money, and no uploading anything that tries to harm visitors.
- 3. There are no comments and no user content: the catalogue is the only thing on this site we control.
- 4. Everything is provided “as is”, without warranty. If a game offends you, tell us and we will pull it.
- 5. We may change these terms; material changes get a note on this page for 30 days before they apply.
How it is built
In case you were wondering — or want to fork it
Framework
Astro 5 — static game pages, island hydration only where interaction exists
Styling
Tailwind CSS v4 (@theme in CSS, no config file, no @apply soup)
Interactivity
React 19 islands — favourites and instant search, and nothing else
Data
A generated JSON catalogue (src/data/gamepix.json) read through src/lib/catalogue.ts. No database, no bindings
Search
One linear scan over the in-memory catalogue, served from /api/search
Hosting
Cloudflare Workers — no D1, no KV, no R2, nothing to provision
Favourites
This browser only, under one localStorage key. Nothing is sent anywhere
Catalogue
Mirrored from GamePix by npm run sync into a committed JSON file
Every frame is sandboxed and restricted to the publisher origin in the catalogue. Games are never entered by hand and never embed an arbitrary URL — a portal that will frame anything is a portal serving phishing pages.
