About these games

Arcade games fit a phone well: short rounds, simple controls that often come down to one tap or swipe, and a score to beat on the next try.

Every one of these phone arcade games is marked Phone-friendly on Foundplay, which means its listing says it has touch controls. Tap a game to see its page and controls, then Play opens it on its creator's site in your browser.

Questions

What are the most played phone arcade games?
By plays on Foundplay: FLOWLINE, School Surfer, Destroy Any Website, Afterglow 86 and Eat the World.
Which arcade games use one tap?
Many arcade games on phones play with a single tap, a hold or a swipe. Each game's pitch and page say how it plays, and the quick phone games page groups the ones whose listings call them one tap or one button.
Will these games work on my phone?
Each one is marked Phone-friendly on Foundplay because its listing says it has touch controls. That isn't a test on every phone, so check the game's page for its controls and any browser needs before you play.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Each game opens in your phone's browser on the site where it's published, with nothing to install from an app store.
Are these games free?
Yes. Every game here is free to play in a browser. A few show ads or sell extras on their own sites.
Do they work on iPhone and Android?
They open in phone browsers such as Safari and Chrome. Touch controls don't promise that every phone can run every game: 3D games can need a newer phone and an up to date browser.
