De Knaar Arcade

He is the REBEL!

Small browser games with 80s and 90s flavour, guest scoreboards, and De Knaar as the main character: funny, playable, personal.

Enter the arcade
01

Made by hand.

One person. One weekend. Some swearing. A lot of coffee.

02

Kept warm.

No analytics, no ads, no “growth”. Just rooms with someone in them.

03

For De Knaar.

Specifically and only. If you are not De Knaar, please be nice.

04

The dogs run it.

Final editorial decisions made by Bella. Vetoes by Casper.
