One run, start to finish, free in your browser. You steer; the bag fights on its own. Every level-up deals three cards, and the ones you take decide what the rest of the shift looks like — the street never lays them out the same way twice. No sign-up, nothing to install.

Why play roguelike games?
A roguelike run starts from nothing and ends when it ends. You are not handed a build, you are offered one — three cards at a time, and never the same three as last time. What comes out of it is something you assembled from what turned up, which is why the same game twice is not the same game twice. Starting over is the game, not the punishment for losing.
JuJu keeps the runs short. A shift here is ten minutes rather than an evening, so a run that goes wrong costs one sitting and the next one starts clean. There are no leaderboards and nobody to measure yourself against — a finished run hands you a receipt of what you built, not a rank. Free, no ads, and no account to make.
Frequently asked questions
Are these roguelike games free to play?
Yes. Everything on this page is free in your browser — no ads, no account to create, and nothing to download or install.
What is a roguelike?
A game built around runs. Each run starts you back at the beginning with nothing, hands you upgrades as you go, and ends for good when you lose — you keep what you learned rather than what you collected. The kind on this page is the auto-attacking sort, sometimes called a survivors-like or a bullet heaven: your weapons fire on their own timers and the playing is where you stand and what you pick.
How do you play Delivery Rider?
Steer with the mouse, WASD, the arrow keys or a finger on the screen — there is nothing to press. Your weapons fire by themselves, so your job is to be where they will land. Tips are experience: pick them up, and every level-up pauses the shift and offers three cards. Last the ten minutes and deal with the heap at the end.
How long is one run?
Ten minutes, and at most twelve. The last boss holds the shift open past the clock, but only for two minutes — after that the depot shuts and you clock off with the tips you banked, whether or not it is still standing.
Can I play on a phone?
Yes. Hold anywhere on the screen and the scooter rides toward your finger; the cards are big enough to tap. Nothing to install either way.
Will more roguelike games be added?
Yes — this collection starts with one and grows over time. Everything added here will follow the same rules: free, no ads, and a run that fits in one sitting.
