JS13k FAQ — Answers to the Most Common Player Questions

About JS13k

JS13k is a free arcade game playable instantly in your browser on MECHA CHAMELEON, with no download and no required account.

If you only have ten seconds, here is the short version: JS13k is free, runs in any modern browser on phone or computer, saves your progress automatically, and is safe to play. Everything below is a longer answer to a specific question players ask most often.

JS13k was built by Mecha Chameleon as a web-first title. That means the version you load in your browser is the same build the developer ships — no stripped-down "lite" edition, no separate paid tier hiding the real content.

Platforms and compatibility

JS13k runs on any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari — across desktop, Android, iOS, Steam Deck and console browsers. Each platform has a dedicated guide linked below.

On low-end devices, JS13k is one of the lightest titles you can run. Integrated graphics, 4 GB of RAM and a current browser are enough for a steady frame rate. There is nothing to install and nothing to update manually.

Chromebooks, school laptops and locked-down work machines that block native installs still run JS13k fine, because the entire game lives inside the browser sandbox. That is a deliberate design choice, not a workaround.

Saves, accounts and progress

Progress in JS13k saves to your browser by default. Clearing site data wipes that progress, so export your save (when the option is exposed) before a deep clean.

If you sign in to an optional account, your saves sync across devices. Without an account, saves stay tied to the browser profile on the device you played on — switching from phone to laptop starts a new save unless you signed in first.

Private or incognito browsing windows do not persist saves between sessions. If you want progress to stick, play in a normal browser window.

Performance and connection

JS13k preloads its assets on the splash screen, so once you press Play the gameplay window itself does not need a steady connection. Brief Wi-Fi drops mid-run rarely cause problems on the single-player modes.

Multiplayer modes, where they exist, do require a live connection. If you see rubber-banding or input lag, the connection is the most common cause — try a wired connection, a less congested Wi-Fi network or a mobile hotspot.

If the game stutters on a capable device, the most common fixes are closing other browser tabs, disabling aggressive privacy extensions on MECHA CHAMELEON, and ensuring hardware acceleration is enabled in your browser settings.

Safety, ads and privacy

JS13k runs inside the browser sandbox. It cannot read files on your device, cannot install anything and cannot access the camera or microphone without an explicit permission prompt — which JS13k does not request.

Display ads around the game frame fund the free version. They never sit inside the gameplay window itself, and there are no required in-game purchases to finish JS13k.

Avoid third-party sites offering a "JS13k download" or "JS13k APK". The studio has not shipped any such file, and repackaged installers regularly contain adware or malware. The browser version on MECHA CHAMELEON is the only safe way to play.

How this guide is maintained

This JS13k FAQ guide is written for humans first. The structure follows the way real players think about JS13k: short answer at the top, supporting detail in the middle, related questions at the bottom. We avoid keyword stuffing, padded intros and the kind of generic boilerplate that buries the actual answer ten paragraphs deep.

Every fact about JS13k FAQ above is checked against Mecha Chameleon's public communication. Where the developer has not said something, we say so plainly instead of filling the gap with rumors or recycled forum claims.

If you spot something out of date about JS13k FAQ, use the Contact page on MECHA CHAMELEON to flag it. Real reader feedback is the fastest way this page improves between scheduled reviews, and corrections usually ship within a few days of being reported.

We also avoid duplicating content between cluster pages. Each JS13k guide answers one question — JS13k FAQ here — and links out to the sibling guides for everything else, so you never read the same paragraph twice while researching the game.
