BOILERPLATE
Short
Zerkzee Pixel Arcade is a free-to-play pixel arcade at pixelarcade.co. Its games are short, endless and built for the chase: beat your own score, then the daily, weekly and all-time boards. One avatar follows you into every cabinet. Every ranked score is replayed and verified on the server, and nothing sold in the arcade ever raises a score. It plays in any modern browser and installs as an app on phones and desktops.
Long
Zerkzee Pixel Arcade is a free-to-play pixel arcade at pixelarcade.co, made by Zerkzee, an independent games studio. The arcade opens with five games: the DriveBot Racing trio (Nitro Grid, Lane Dodge and Lights Out), Sky Hopper and Snack Stack, with a new cabinet planned every one to two days once the first five are stable. Each game is short, endless and scored; boards run daily, weekly, monthly and all-time, and a Daily Challenge gives everyone in the world the same seeded run with one attempt. Players build one pixel avatar that appears in every game. Fairness is built in: every ranked run is a deterministic, seeded replay that the server verifies before it reaches a board, and the only things for sale are cosmetics. The arcade is designed to be safe for players of all ages: no free-text chat (emotes only), no blood, no gambling-style mechanics, kid-safe defaults for younger players and guest play that collects nothing personal. Every new game and update is played through by the studio before it goes live, and every pause menu has a Report a bug button. The arcade runs in any modern browser and installs as an app on phones, tablets and desktops.

USING THE ASSETS
- Use the files as supplied. Do not recolour, outline, add shadows, stretch or redraw any mark. The blue top strokes stay blue.
- Keep the clear space baked into every file; do not crop into it. Minimum wordmark width on screen: 120 px; below that use the ZE icon.
- The arcade is "Zerkzee Pixel Arcade". Write pixelarcade.co as a web address, never as a name or a logo. Social handles are addresses too: write them as @handle next to the platform name, not as a name for the arcade.
- The ZERKZEE GAMES lockup is for store listings, splash screens and merchandise only.
- Screenshots are pre-release and may change; please say so if you publish them before launch.
- Cast art may be shown in coverage of the arcade. Please do not use it as a mascot for anything else.
