For developers

IncrementalGames.org never re-hosts your files and never puts ads next to your game. Games are playable on IncrementalGames.org only when their open-source license allows it or when the developer opts in, and they always load from your own site, with credit and a link back. Claim your game to opt in or out at any time.

Submit, correct, update or claim a game

A claim is a review request, not automatic verification. Include a public link that establishes your relationship to the game, the exact edition, and the facts you want corrected. We check the evidence before changing the catalog.

The exact edition
Facts players ask about

We store the request privately for editorial review. Contact details and proof are not published. Save the private receipt shown after sending.

Open data API

The catalog as JSON: tags, endings, estimated hours, idle ratings, recorded offline progress, Steam and Galaxy numbers, and links. Refreshed every sync, CORS-enabled, no key needed. Credit is appreciated; a backlink is not required for a listing, correction, or recommendation.

For reproducible citations and smaller downloadable files, use the dated research snapshots. The live API changes as the catalog changes.

“Games like yours” widget

For your own website or another page that permits external iframes. Recommendations use catalog similarity, not featured placement. Third-party platforms may restrict embeds.

Embed a badge

A small, optional way to link to your profile. The badge reflects available catalog signals; it is not an editorial review award. To personalize these snippets, open the “Claim this page” link on your game profile.

What makes a useful submission?

01 / Identity

The original release

Give us an official store, repository, or developer page. Include separate browser, desktop, and phone editions rather than assuming they behave identically.

02 / Mechanics

Facts players ask about

Tell us about endings, save behavior, offline caps, and active controls. Cite the version or source, and say when a number is an estimate.

03 / Attribution

Your permissions

Identify the creator and artwork source. Embedding requires permission or a suitable license; a listing does not grant permission to re-host a game.
