The short version
We don’t collect personal information. There are no accounts, no analytics, no tracking cookies and no advertising trackers, on this site or in our games.
Our games don’t collect personal information. This website shows ads served by Google, and Google uses cookies to do that. The details are under “Ads on this website” below.
In our games
- Saves stay on your device. Progress, settings and achievements are stored on the device you play on: in the browser’s local storage for the web version, and in the app’s own storage on desktop and mobile. They never leave that device, and they’re deleted when you uninstall the game or clear the browser’s site data.
- Nothing phoning home. The games contain no advertising, no in-app purchases, no third-party analytics and no crash reporting.
- Steam. The Steam version uses Steamworks to unlock achievements on your Steam profile. Valve handles that exchange under the Steam Privacy Policy. The game itself doesn’t receive or keep your Steam account details.
- App stores. Downloading a game from the App Store or Google Play is covered by Apple’s and Google’s own privacy policies.

- Server logs. Like any website, the company that hosts this one records basic technical details of each visit, such as IP address, browser type and the page requested, to keep the site running and secure. It may also use a strictly necessary security cookie to keep bots out. We don’t use any of this to identify anyone.
- Email. If you write to , we use your message and address to reply, and for nothing else. We don’t sell or share it.
- Promotions. A few spots on the site promote our own games and music. They’re ordinary links, with no ad network and no tracking.
