Countdown Cavern

Every few seconds gravity flips and the floor becomes the ceiling. The clock never stops — so a wall you can't jump is just a wall you walk over upside down.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on fees, funding, payouts, game keys, and who owns the work.

Bounty Board combines a free browser game Arcade with a gaming creator marketplace. Players discover indie games right in the browser with no downloads, gaming creators find paid campaigns, and indie, AA, and growing studios turn playable interest into creator work. Most campaigns pay cash, and some include game keys or other rewards.

Yes. Every game in the Arcade is free and runs right in your browser, with no downloads and no installs. Games work on desktop, and most also work on mobile and tablet browsers.

Browse the Arcade

No. Anyone can play Arcade games without an account. Signing up saves your scores and cloud saves so your progress and leaderboard runs follow you across devices.

They are connected but independent. A studio can run creator campaigns for a game that is also playable in the Arcade, and creators can play a campaign game in the browser before applying. Publishing a game in the Arcade does not create a campaign by itself, and a campaign does not require an Arcade build.

Post a campaign with your game, the kind of work you want, the timeline, and the payout or reward. Gaming creators apply if the campaign fits their channel. You review the applicants, choose the creators you want to work with, and manage submissions and payment in Bounty Board.

Payment is sent to your Stripe account when the studio approves your work. Stripe then holds the payout for 7 days so any disputes can be resolved before funds reach your account. Creators receive the listed reward minus the 10% creator platform fee.

Bounty Board charges a 10% platform fee on each side of completed work, and only on completed work: the studio pays the reward total plus 10%, and the creator receives the reward minus 10%. There is no subscription, no credits to buy, and no listing fee. Standard campaigns charge nothing up front, you only pay when you accept work. Competitions and results based campaigns fund their budget up front, and anything unused is automatically refunded when they close. Bounty Board runs promotions that lower the fee for limited periods.

Yes. Submit a hosted URL or an HTML5 build to the Arcade. Submissions are reviewed before going live, and approved games can add leaderboards, cloud saves, and rewarded ads through the Arcade SDK.
