A public record of how browser games perform.
StatKraken reads the public pages of web-game portals once a day and keeps every reading as a timestamped snapshot. Play counts, votes and ratings, exactly as the platform published them, plus the growth you can only see by having watched. Live today: Armor Games, Coolmath Games, CrazyGames, Poki, Y8, Yandex Games, and YouTube Playables.
Nobody was keeping the history
Portals show you today's number and nothing else. Yesterday's is gone the moment it changes. StatKraken keeps them, so a game's trajectory is something you can look up instead of something you had to be watching for.
How it works
1. Discover
A weekly pass over each platform's own catalog listing finds games we have not seen before. Anything that turns up in a daily read is added as well, so a new release does not wait a week to appear.
2. Snapshot
Most platforms are re-read in full daily; the largest catalogs, Y8 and Yandex Games, are read in rotation over a few days. Every reading is stored as a new row. Snapshots are never edited after the fact.
3. Compare
Growth, velocity and breakout scores are computed from the stored snapshots, per platform, in that platform's own units. They get more useful the longer a game has been watched.
What we collect — and what we don't
We collect
- Titles, developer names as the platform prints them, thumbnails, descriptions, genres
- Whichever engagement figures the platform publishes: play counts, vote counts, ratings
- The time each reading was taken, kept alongside it
We don't
- Revenue, installs, active users, session length — no platform publishes these and we do not estimate them
- Anything behind a login, a paywall, or a developer dashboard
- Personal data of any kind, from players or developers
- A rating averaged across platforms — the scales are not the same measurement
The rule underneath all of it: a metric a platform does not publish is shown as absent, never as zero. The methodology page explains why that distinction is load-bearing.
Who it is for
Players
Find what is actually rising rather than what a homepage is promoting, and see whether a game you like is still being played.
Developers
Watch your own games across every platform you publish on, in one place, and see how comparable titles in your genre are doing.
Publishers and scouts
See which titles are proven, where they are already distributed, and — from the catalogs themselves — where they are not.
Who runs it
StatKraken is an independent project. It is not owned by, funded by, or affiliated with any of the platforms it tracks, which is the whole reason it can report on all of them the same way. It carries no advertising and sells no placement.
If a number here is wrong, we want to know — corrections and takedown requests go to the same address as everything else.
