Arcade games, no quarters, no ads
The arcade never died — it moved into your phone. Pac-Man, Crossy Road, Geometry Dash all share one loop, and on Remix you play it without an ad break.
The arcade business model was simple and a little cruel: make the game hard enough that you'd feed it another quarter. Crossy Road and Geometry Dash kept the loop and swapped the quarter for an interstitial ad — beat your high score, watch a 30-second pitch for a game you'll never install.
We think that's a bad trade. The Arcade category on Remix runs that same one-more-run loop with no ads, ever. You die, you tap, you're back in. The only thing competing for your attention is your last score.
Proof in the feed
Hyper Heat is a top-down survival run that's pure arcade adrenaline. Astro Jump is a one-thumb climber that's basically impossible to play once.
Both are instant, both are free, and neither will ever interrupt your run to sell you something.
