₿AD ARCADE · BEHIND THE FLOOR

THE BACK ROOM

This is the storage closet behind the arcade: the cabinets that are built and being tested before they are wheeled out to the main floor. Everything here is playable, and every run lands on the same replay-verified daily boards the floor uses. Every one of these games is still being worked on. Play them, break them, and report what you find.

HOW THIS WORKS

A cabinet is wheeled in here the day its build is done: one run played end to end, a replay-verified board, and a pilot that can clear it. It is wheeled out to the main floor when it passes an independent review at 9 / 10 or better. Until then it lives back here, with its stage of testing stamped on its test sheet:

BUILTthe branch is done: an end-to-end run, a verified board, a crash-free pilot
IN REVIEWan independent reviewer is grading it against the quality bar
FIXINGthe review found blockers; they are being fixed
RETESTthe code is green again; the human gates are open: real phones, real ears
READYit passed; it is waiting for its spot on the main floor

Boards are live and your scores count. Found something? REPORT A BUG.

THE LOADING DOCK

Cabinets that are built and still on their branch. They get a coin slot here the day their branch merges; their test sheets are already on the box.
