Rapid Prototyping

Live-edit logic, swap assets, and deploy test builds instantly. Iteration is tracked and replayable so you can see what mattered.

Playtest Studio

Invite players with one link, run guided sessions, and collect heatmaps, decision logs, and short-form sentiment notes.

Lightweight Analytics

HUD-style dashboards surface micro-metrics and funboard graphics so teams can close the loop faster.

How ArcadeForge moves ideas forward

Drag templates, tweak physics, and preview on multiple devices in seconds.

2 — Playtest

Invite players, watch behaviors, and collect pointed feedback with a simple HUD overlay.

3 — Iterate

Use replay slices and event heatmaps to sharpen pacing and reward loops.

Build a better level loop — faster

Start a studio, import assets, and invite players. The first three prototypes are free.
