About
This site exists because of two things I stumbled into in the same week.
First, a game
Tony Dinh posted his vibe-coded shooter, survive10waves.com — a work-in-progress demo, keyboard and mouse required. I played it way longer than I'll admit, then went hunting for more indie games and realized how many great ones are out there with nowhere to be found. They live and die inside feeds.
Then, a leaderboard
A few days later I found outbid.lol — a leaderboard where rank is simply the bid. No algorithm, no editorial picks, no pretending. The honesty of it stuck with me: every ranking system is pay-to-win somehow, this one just says so out loud.
indie.game is those two ideas glued together: a home for indie games where the ranking is bought, not gamed. Submit any indie game — hand-coded, engine-made, or vibe-coded — and bid from $5. Your lifetime total is your score, bids are permanent, and every row links straight to a game anyone can play before deciding it deserved the spot. The complete rules fit on one page.
