CLICKBAIT ARCADE

Genre: Action, Puzzle
Every fake mobile game ad, finally real. Swap between them. 99% fail.
From the maker
Following the news that Spawn games became playable on X (Twitter), I immediately thought of the endless fake mobile game ads that you get 700 times per day on X. I thought, what if you could actually just play those games right on X and they were actually good?
Enter: Clickbait Arcade.
The goal is to subvert the mobile game ads you see with actually fun versions that don't bog you down with endless ads.

Released 2026-10-09. 9 updates since release, the newest 2026-10-17.
Newest update: Neon Arcade (2026-10-17)
- The game menu is now a neon arcade: a glowing cabinet for every game, a HI-SCORES screen, coin bleeps. Castle Defense ranked is now endless: one castle, your towers stay, waves never stop. Easier-to-read level buttons.
Earlier update: Castle Defense: Balanced Towers (2026-10-15)
- Towers now cap at $70, so you can reach a LV5 tower in one level. Cannon toned down, archer stronger, and frost 4-5 freeze longer and make enemies take more damage. Later levels bring bigger, tougher swarms. The win and fail screens now show what each tower type did: its share of the damage and its kills.
Earlier update: Strike Wing (2026-10-15)
- Alien Horde has three lanes: break the pod ladder on the left for upgrades, gates on the right.
- Pods slide toward you on a belt and get tougher as you climb.
- Fill the strike meter and call a wing of starfighters to wipe the road, once a level.
- Red lasers that shift colour as you power up, and a real mothership health bar.
Earlier update: Crowd Rush hazards + level tracking (2026-10-15)
- Crowd Rush: new doors, pits and green recruits; hazards spaced so you can react; fairer near misses; numbers grow steadier; army fights resolve fast. Every game now tracks levels cleared.
Earlier update: Made Crowd Rush more engaging (2026-10-13)
- Update Crowd Rush's current pickup cue and record the door-loss follow-up.
