Driven by their desire to create a library for games created by\u00a0 different\u00a0 people that everyone could play Mincade allows each person can add a link to one or\u00a0 more mini games to the Minicade and\u00a0 instantly play them as one massive\u00a0 game. The tool even allows games to have levels so they can increase in difficulty the more you play!<br \/>\nWith Minicade you can try remixing one of the\u00a0 pre-existing games or, if you&#8217;re slightly more advanced, build one from\u00a0 scratch. Either way, four hours later, you&#8217;ll be astonished at how\u00a0 addictive even the simplest games can be. (Why can&#8217;t I smash that\u00a0 fly?!!) <a href=\"http:\/\/minica.de\/t\/fancy-friday-demo\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-11529 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/webmakerblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Fly-Shot-252x183.jpg\" alt=\"Fly Shot\" width=\"252\" height=\"183\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWith recent revisions to Minicade, minigames can now be hosted anywhere on the web, and remixed using Thimble, jsbin as well as many other tools.
