The rules

All of them. If they change, this page changes first.

01Your total is your rank

Submit any playable AI-built game and pay whatever you want (minimum $2). Your lifetime total is your score. The board is sorted by score. That's the whole algorithm.

02Bids are permanent

Bids never expire, never drain, and are never refunded when someone passes you. The #1 price is a floor that only goes up. You are not buying a subscription — you are buying altitude, forever.

03Passing someone costs at least $5 more

A new total must clear the spot you're taking by $5 or more. No penny-sniping.

04It must actually be a game

Playable in a browser, built substantially with AI tools, and it has to load. We review every submission within 24 hours — this is a leaderboard, not a link farm. Rejections come with a reason and a refund (the only refund that exists).

05Clicks are honest

Board clicks are counted server-side, deduplicated, and never reset. What you see is what everyone sees, including us.

06The board is the only board

No hidden placements, no sponsored rows that aren't labeled, no algorithmic feed underneath. One page, one ranking, sorted by money — and every row is a game you can play before deciding it deserved it.
