I'm Marius. I make games you play in a browser tab — no
launcher, no download, no account, no price. You click a link and you are playing.
Angry Marius Games is the sign over the door; behind it is one person in Denmark.
Why browser games
Most games want something before they give you anything. An install. An account. A
launcher that spends six minutes updating itself before you are allowed to be bored.
Every one of those steps quietly loses someone who would have enjoyed the game. A
browser game asks for a click.
That constraint shapes everything I build. A game has to be interesting within
seconds, run on a five-year-old phone, and survive being opened on a train. Those turn
out to be good rules to design under. They rule out an enormous amount of padding.
Why I make them
I write business software for a living. It is useful, and it is not very exciting.
Games are where I learn the things that job never asks for — and I learn them by
building, not by reading. You cannot read your way into knowing how a system feels
after ten seasons. You have to build one and watch it go somewhere you did not expect.
How they are built
I don't write most of the code by hand. I work with an AI: I decide what gets
built, why, and how it should feel to play — and a lot of the typing happens somewhere
else. It is the reason someone with a day job can finish a game at all.
What comes out is plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. No frameworks, no build step, no
bundler. The file I edit is the file your browser runs, so a fix takes minutes instead
of a deploy pipeline. It is an unfashionable way to work and an unreasonably durable
one — games built like this still run years later, because there is nothing underneath
them to break.
Saves, money and data
You can play everything without an account, and your progress is saved in your
own browser. The catch is that it only lives there: clear your cache, switch to
your phone, and it is gone. Make an account and your save follows you instead.
The games are free and stay free. Revenue comes from my own banner system, sold
and served in-house, so no third-party ad network gets to decide what appears next
to the game — and if you want to advertise, the same account buys the space. I
don't sell player data, and I'm not going to. I also read every message sent
through this site.
