Submit Your Game
You built it, or you are building it in the open. Tell us where to look, and the radar will do the rest.
Where a submission can land
- The Heat Index: the board is built from live player data, full stop. A submission cannot place a game on it. What a submission does is put your game on our radar, so if the players show up, we are already watching.
- Creator-Built Watch: the chart of games hive-coded by creators with their audiences in the loop, where the hive's playtests, feedback, and votes shape the game itself. This game shelf runs on evidence of that participation, which is why the form below asks about it directly.
- Solo-Built Watch: solo developers building in public, spotted early. No audience in the build required, just a game being made in the open that our daily radar should not miss.
Submitting is always free. Our rankings are never for sale, and no payment of any kind moves a game up any chart we publish.
Submitting never guarantees a listing. Every submission is judged on the same evidence standard as every game we find ourselves, and most of the radar's job is watching, not listing.
And if it fits nowhere?
Every week we publish Radar Love: a short public shout-out for indie games that fit none of our game shelves. The floor is simple: a real game by an independent developer, claims that check out, and one specific thing worth celebrating. It is not a listing or a ranking, and it never changes one. It is how we say the radar saw you, even when the chart has no game shelf for you yet.

Two minutes, four things we actually need, and one question that matters more than the rest.
How review works
Every submission is reviewed through the same radar process as everything else we track: the daily sweep, the evidence check, and the weekly audit. If your game earns a listing, it is credited to you and linked to your official page, like everything on this site.
The email you give us is used to reply about your submission, and for the newsletter only if you tick the box above. It is never sold or shared.
Prefer to talk first? You can also find us on Discord, where builders drop their work in as it takes shape.
