Is there a way to see the most popular / highest voted ones? If every submission makes it to the list it will collect lots of clutter.

Agreed. (someone else mentioned sorting by upvotes, which I like too) Also a thumbnail (or gif), just a way to convey more information about the game more quickly.

Came here to suggest the same: screenshot so I can get a taste of the game when browsing the list.

The first game "1D-Pong" is tagged "browser", but it's actually an instructable for a hardware project.

Love this. I've lost so many cool Show HN games to the void of "I'll check that out later." Finally a cure for my bookmark graveyard.

I've submitted to add my SciFi Space MMO Game (https://play.delve-online.com) - Run mission, fly with friends, kill rats, pvp etc etc :D

Thanks and have fun :D

Love this! Was thinking of building something similar at some point and for the same reasons. Glad you actually did it!

Great idea! I added a github issue for my game platform https://gametje.com. It currently has 8 multiplayer party games. Play on your smart TV, laptop. phone to phone, or directly within Discord.

I made a Show HN post back in November: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45887709 but I've added two games since then.

Thanks for creating this.

I've made a few games over the years[1], but so far I only Show HN'd one of them[2]. When my next one is done (it's already in progress), I plan to post it here again, because the feedback on Omiword was great, and I implemented a lot of requested features.
