⚙️ How It Works
Every game on Weekly Arcade follows the same principles:
- Instant play — Games load in under 1.5 seconds. No loading screens, no splash pages.
- Mobile-first — Touch controls, responsive layouts from 320px to 2560px, and 44x44px minimum touch targets following Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.
- Accessible — WCAG 2.1 AA color contrast,
prefers-reduced-motionsupport, and keyboard navigation. - Offline-capable — Every game works offline via Service Worker caching. Install as a PWA for app-like access.
- No account required — Guest play has zero restrictions. Optional Google Sign-In unlocks leaderboards, cloud saves, and achievements.
