About Hadukis

Hadukis is a small independent games site. Everything here runs in the browser: nothing to download, nothing to install, and no account needed to play any of it.

We make some of them ourselves

The games marked Original are ours, and nothing in them is borrowed: no bought code, no stock art, no stock sound. Most of them are written from nothing at all — the graphics drawn by code as the game runs and the sound synthesised the same way. A couple of the newer ones use Phaser, which is a free and open engine, with artwork commissioned for them and owned outright. You can see them all on the originals page.

And we host others

The rest come from studios around the world through GameMonetize.

How it is paid for

Advertising inside the games we license from other studios. That is the whole business model: nothing to buy, no subscription, no paid tier. The games marked Original carry no advertising code at all and send nothing about you anywhere; most of them never touch the network again once loaded. The privacy policy sets out exactly what that does and does not cover, including the one control we do not have.

Licensing and writing

Every original on this site can be licensed for another portal, non-exclusively — bundle sizes, input support and the rest are on the licensing page. We also write about how the games get built, on and off, over on Writing.

If you want to chip in

Everything here is free and stays free. There is a page about supporting the site, though the donation link is not open yet — the free ways of helping listed there are worth more to a site this size anyway.
