Quick Start

Get your HTML5 game live on RetiPie in seven steps. The whole process takes about five minutes.

1. Create your account

Go to retipie.com/register and sign up. You can use email or a social login.

2. Complete your creator profile

After signing up, you'll go through a short onboarding flow to set up your creator profile. This includes your display name and avatar. Your creator profile is what players see when they find your games.

3. Go to Dashboard and create a game

Head to your dashboard and click Upload Game. This creates a new game entry in draft status.

4. Fill in game details

Enter the required information for your game:

• Title — the name players see (max 100 characters)
• Slug — the URL-friendly identifier for your game (lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only)
• Description — a short summary of your game (max 500 characters)
• Category — pick one: Puzzle, Action, Arcade, Strategy, Casual, Racing, Sports, RPG, Simulation, or Other
• Tags — up to 10 tags to help players discover your game

You can also upload a thumbnail image (PNG, JPEG, or WebP, max 2MB) that shows in the game feed.

5. Upload your game files

You have two options:

• Single HTML file — if your entire game is in one .html file, upload it directly
• ZIP archive — if your game has multiple files (HTML, CSS, JS, images, audio), package them as a .zip with index.html at the root

6. Preview your game

After uploading, use the device preview in the dashboard to see how your game looks and plays on different screen sizes. This is the same sandboxed environment players will use.

Make sure your game loads correctly and is playable before publishing.

7. Publish

When everything looks good, click Publish. Your game goes live in the RetiPie feed immediately.

After publishing you can still update your game by uploading a new version, edit game details, or unpublish if needed.
