PlayPounce is a hub of 93 free HTML5 games you can play instantly in your browser — no downloads, no account, no paywall. It's a PWA, so games you've opened keep working offline. Genres span puzzle, arcade, board, card, casino, word (a daily Wordle-style game) and idle, with daily challenges, achievements and an optional leaderboard. Everything is original code and art — just click and play.
Love how snappy this is and the offline PWA angle is genuinely useful. One thing I'd kill for though is a simple "second screen" mode where you can plug in a controller and the game maps to it automatically. Browser gamepad support already exists, but most hubs ignore it. Even just a basic on screen control overlay as a fallback for touch would make the idle and arcade titles so much more fun on the couch.
@elmasnerz9d8 Thank you — this is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for. You nailed it: most hubs ignore the Gamepad API and it's low-hanging fruit. Since every game here runs same-origin in an iframe, I can add a hub-level input layer that maps a controller (and an on-screen D-pad overlay for touch) to games without rewriting each one. Putting it on the roadmap — I'll ping you when the arcade titles support it. 🎮
