## Overview

Astrocade is a social gaming platform where you make a game by describing it. Its AI builds the art, sound and gameplay in minutes, and when you publish, the game goes into a feed of player-made games on the web and in the Android app.

In October 2026 Astrocade launched a hosted MCP server, so you can build, change and publish Astrocade games from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini CLI or any agent that supports remote MCP. Your agent writes and tests the code, games follow Astrocade's guidelines for phones, and published games get the same analytics dashboard as everything else on the platform. Creators can earn money based on plays.

## Key features

- Make a playable game from a text description, no code
- Hosted MCP server for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI and more
- Open and continue existing games from your agent
- One-command publishing to the Astrocade feed
- Analytics, comments and followers for every game
- Free Astro Academy lessons and biweekly game competitions

## Use it for

- Turn a quick game idea into something friends can play today
- Build a bigger game with a coding agent and publish it to an audience
- Test which casual game concepts players actually stick with

## Pricing

Playing and making games is free, and Astrocade's own March 2026 post says every tool, feature and asset generator is free. Its terms reserve the right to offer paid subscription or per-use services. Creators earn based on plays: the March 2026 post said creators whose games pass 100,000 plays in 30 days are invited to earn, and the program was described as a beta.
