Where does a Lovable game live?

At the address Lovable gives it when you publish, or at a custom domain you connect if your plan allows it. The editor preview is not the public link.

Can I make a real-time action game in Lovable?

People build many kinds of games, but Lovable's strength is app interfaces. Real-time games need a game loop on a canvas and early testing on phones, so ask for that structure in the prompt.

Do players need an account to play my Lovable game?

Only if you add one. For a free game, let people start at once and offer an account later.

How do I update a game that is already published?

Make the change in Lovable, test it in the preview, then publish again and check the published address. Play it on a phone before you tell anyone.

I built a game with Lovable. Where do I share it and get players?

Lovable builds a web app from a chat and has a Publish button that gives the project its own web address. Share that published address, not the editor preview, and check it in a private window and on a phone. Then list the game on Foundplay and post it where people play small browser games.

What kind of game suits a Lovable build

Lovable is built around app interfaces, so games with a lot of interface suit it well: puzzle, word, trivia, card, idle and simulation games. Fast action games are possible, but ask for a canvas element and a proper game loop, keep the menus in the interface layer, and test speed on a phone early. Spell the rules out in the prompt as numbers and states ('three lives, a 60 second timer, the score doubles on a streak of five'), since a vague prompt returns a vague game.

Lovable makes accounts easy to add, and that is the temptation. A free game should start without one. Let players save progress on their device, and offer an account later for leaderboards or cloud saves. A visitor who has to sign in before the first play is one you may not get back.

Check the first minute on a phone

A Lovable preview often looks right in a desktop window. Open the published address on a phone, in portrait and in landscape, and check the size of the tap targets, whether the text is readable and whether the page scrolls while you play. If it scrolls, ask for a fixed, full-screen layout and play again.

Address, badge and layout

Published projects get an address on Lovable's domain. Custom domains may depend on your plan, so check Lovable's current docs.
A custom domain lets you move later without changing the link people have.
Check whether your plan adds a badge or banner to the published page, and that it doesn't cover the controls on a phone.
Edit your Foundplay listing if the address changes later.

Take the code with you

Lovable can sync a project to GitHub. Turn that on early, so the code lives outside the builder too. If the game outgrows the builder, you can host the repository elsewhere and move the address when you're ready.

How Foundplay can help

Foundplay is a game discovery platform for free browser games. It doesn't host games: every listing sends players to the creator's own site.

The free listing

Listing a game is free. Paste the link where people play it at /submit, check the details and publish. The game goes live right away, and Play sends players to your own site.

Paste the published address, not the editor preview. Foundplay reads the title, description and share image from the page, so check that the published page has them.

Boost, the paid option

Foundplay sells Boost, so it has a reason to want you to buy it. The free listing works without it.

Starter is a cheap way to see how strangers respond to your cover and first minute. Publish your latest version before it starts, because the plays go to whatever the published address shows.

The Starter plan costs $5 for 50 plays in 3 days, which works out to 10¢ a play. Where it shows: its genre pages and search results.

A play is a counted click on Play from a sponsored spot, the same way public play counts work: once per game per network a day. Every sponsored spot is labelled Sponsored, and the share of plays not delivered by the end of the plan's days is refunded automatically. Foundplay can't see what players do after the click. Fan games and copies of commercial games can't be boosted. A game has to be listed before it can be boosted. List it first, or start a Boost and add your play link there, and Foundplay lists the game for free as part of the same flow.

For scale, Foundplay's own visit counter shows an average of 4,500+ visitors a day over the last three full days, and 600+ games are listed. It updates every few minutes.
