Free in your browser
Every game we have shipped runs in a browser tab. No installs, no launcher, nothing to buy to start playing.
The studio
We make the games we want to play.
Mutiny Games is an independent studio. Everything we make runs in your browser, and everything we make gets built in the open with the people who play it.
Who we are
No publisher. No captains.
Mutiny started with one rule: make the game you would stay up too late playing, then hand it to the people who will tell you the truth about it. No publisher sets our roadmap and no focus group signs off on a feature. The crew in the Discord does.
A mutiny is the crew taking the ship. Here, the players get a real say in where it sails.
Every game runs in a browser tab because the best way to get honest feedback is to make a game anyone can try in ten seconds. Send a link, press play, tell us what broke.
What we make
The fleet.
Three games you can play right now, and the big one in the forge.
What we believe
How the ship sails.
Built in the open
Builds go to the Discord first, rough edges included. You see the game while it is still being made, not after.
Players steer
Ideas get an answer, Planned or Not Planned. Bugs get read. Fixes go out in patch notes.
Craft over volume
We would rather ship one game that feels great than five that feel finished on paper. If it is not fun, it does not ship.
How we build
The players steer the ship.
Every build goes to the crew first, every bug gets read, and every idea gets an answer.
Play it early
Builds land in the Discord first, rough edges included. That is the point.
Tell us what sucks
Bugs, balance, ideas. Every game has its own forums, and blunt feedback is welcome.
Watch it ship
Ideas get tagged Planned or Not Planned. Fixes go out in patch notes. Nothing disappears into a void.
Craft
What we build with.
All of it runs in a browser tab. This is what goes into it.
Cinematic 3D in a tab
Volumetric light and fog, ambient occlusion, depth of field and a filmic grade, with presets that scale from Ultra down to a pixel-art Classic mode.
Last EmberNo asset files
Last Ember paints its textures and synthesizes every sound when it loads. The game ships without a single image or audio file.
Last EmberA score that plays itself
A procedural soundtrack in three styles, written-sounding melodies built from motifs, its own key per map, darker at night and full drums for bosses.
Last EmberPeer-to-peer play
Co-op and party games that connect players directly, browser to browser over WebRTC, joined with a room code.
Last Ember, MimicThe host is the referee
In Mimic every browser links to every other one, up to ten. The host checks every silence, vote and sabotage, and roles only ever go to their owners.
MimicThe ocean up top
A raymarched sea with a procedural sky and no libraries, tuned live to hold its frame rate on any machine.

The technical side, written for players who like to know how things work.
How we built the ocean on our homepage
The moonlit ocean behind playmutinygames.com is a real-time shader with no libraries. Here is how it works: raymarched swells, a procedural sky, and a frame-rate governor.
