Updated 24 October 2026

Getting started

How do I start a game?

Choose a game from All games, read its controls and device notes, then select Load game. Games load only after that action. Open game directly is available below the player if you prefer a separate page.

Do I need an account or subscription?

No Pixel Pier account, subscription or purchase is required to use this collection. Saved games and Recently played are stored in your browser; they are not an online account.

Can I play on a phone or tablet?

Check each listing’s controls and orientation before loading. The catalog filters can help you find games with touch controls or a suitable screen orientation. Touch support does not guarantee the same performance on every device. Rotate your device manually when needed.

Why are some games in Chinese?

Pixel Pier’s guides are in English, while some games keep their original Chinese menus and tutorials. Each game listing identifies its interface language and includes English controls and starting advice.

Saves & controls

Does the heart save my game progress?

The heart saves a link to the game, not your progress. Recently played records games loaded through the site. Each game manages its own progress. See Playing & saves for the distinction.

Can I move my progress to another device?

Pixel Pier does not provide cloud saves or transfer progress between devices. Some games may offer their own export and import tools. Check the game’s settings before changing browsers or clearing data. Private browsing and storage restrictions can affect saves.

How do I pause or enable sound?

Use the game’s own pause and audio controls. A click or tap inside the game may be needed before sound starts. Pixel Pier cannot reliably pause or mute an external game. Unload game removes its frame; Reload game restarts it and may discard an unfinished attempt.

What is the difference between Expand and Fullscreen?

Expand enlarges the existing player within the browser tab; Close or Escape returns to the page. Fullscreen asks your browser to use the screen and may be unavailable on some devices. Neither option transfers or backs up progress.

Troubleshooting & creators

What should I do if a game will not load?

Allow time for large games to initialize, then try Reload game or Open game directly. Check your connection and whether the direct game page works. Avoid clearing browser data as a first step because it can remove saves. For a report, include the game, browser, device and steps on the Contact page.

Why has my saved list or progress disappeared?

Clearing browser storage, switching browsers or devices, private browsing and storage limits can remove or hide data. The catalog list and each game’s progress are separate. Pixel Pier does not keep a recovery copy. Read the Privacy Policy for storage details.

Who developed these games?

Games credited to Mest link to the developer’s and corresponding repositories. Other games retain their own creator credits. A game-development credit does not identify the website operator. See Creator & credits for individual sources and licenses.

How can I report a bug, accessibility issue or rights concern?

Use the reporting guidance and email on the Contact page. Include the exact page, device, browser and a clear description. For a rights concern, identify the asset and source. Do not include passwords or sensitive save data. The contact draft checker does not send your message; use your email application.

Still need a hand?

Find detailed controls and starting advice on each game’s page, or contact Pixel Pier with the details of your issue.
