Three ways in

EVERY CART IS ORIGINAL
BUILT-IN ×26 DREAMED A FRIEND'S

Carts ride a camera-locked rail — they stay in view no matter how you spin the console. Three ways fill that shelf:

1

Spin the shelf

THE BUILT-IN LIBRARY
  1. Flip through twenty-six

    Scroll the wheel or tap the ◂ ▸ arrows. Snake, Star Invaders, Void Racer, a roguelike, a pinball table, a top-down crime sandbox — wave after wave of built-ins.

  2. Hover, then slot it

    Hover pops a cart forward off the rail; click slots it in and it boots immediately. Every cart wears full-color box art painted fresh in code.

2

Follow a friend's link

THE VIRAL LOOP
  1. Special delivery

    Open someone's play link and a SPECIAL DELIVERY banner drops — their cart auto-boots on your console, no install, no account.

  2. Burn one back

    A BURN ONE BACK button drops you straight into the burner to answer with a cart of your own. (When one of your carts is slotted, a share bar appears — copy a link or post it to X.)

The local dream engine is free forever — no API key, no backend — it assembles a themed, playable game from your prompt. Deploy the optional dream service with a SERV / OpenAI / Anthropic key and the console quietly upgrades to LLM-written carts (play-tested headless before they burn), falling back to local if the service is down.
