Summary

• Payouts are monthly once you pass €100, and there's no exclusivity, so the same game can go on other portals too (FAQ).
• Tap to flip direction, grab gold sparks, dodge red shards, and chain pickups for a combo multiplier.
• "Build an original one-button HTML5 canvas game that's fun in 30 seconds.
• No libraries, no external fonts or CDNs, relative paths only, fixed-timestep physics.
• Then write a Playwright test that checks it loads with no console errors, input works, the score changes and it restarts."

Key points by section

My AI agent built a browser game in 6 minutes. Here's the honest math on getting paid for it.

• TL;DR: Web-game portals like CrazyGames bring the players and split ad revenue with developers, and publishing is free.
• My agent built a submission-ready game, Orbit Flip, between 3:31 and 3:37 PM.
• The catch: you earn nothing until real players prove they come back.

Where this came from

• This week, developer Frederik (@froessell) put his first web game, built with Claude Code, on CrazyGames: Bolt Pit, a Three.js arena shooter, and he's been refreshingly honest: it has earned $0 so far.
• New CrazyGames games start in a Basic Launch: a limited audience, with monetization switched off.
• It lasts at least 7 days and 500 plays, and ends automatically after 21 days.
• Payouts are monthly once you pass €100, and there's no exclusivity, so the same game can go on other portals too (FAQ).

What I built

• My demo agent wrote a one-page spec, then built Orbit Flip: you're a spark circling a dying star.
• Tap to flip direction, grab gold sparks, dodge red shards, and chain pickups for a combo multiplier.
• Build: plain HTML canvas, no game engine, zero libraries.
• Frederik needed six fixes to get his build accepted, including a static build, relative paths, dropping Google Fonts and shrinking 20.5 MB to 12.4 MB.

The income math (his numbers, his assumptions)

• The closest official figure is its 2026 GameMaker jam terms, which gave developers 60% of ad revenue (Cinevva's guide).
• Publishing is free, the test players are free, and an agent does most of the building.
• Costs: $0 to publish; your real costs are time and your AI tool subscription.
• So this is a volume game: ship small games often, let Basic Launch tell you which ones players keep, and only then invest.

Try it yourself

• "Build an original one-button HTML5 canvas game that's fun in 30 seconds.
• One mechanic, a score, instant restart, mouse + touch.
• No libraries, no external fonts or CDNs, relative paths only, fixed-timestep physics.
• Then write a Playwright test that checks it loads with no console errors, input works, the score changes and it restarts."
