Skywar — frequently asked questions.

Skywar is a curated arcade of 14 hand-tuned browser combat games — air, ground, naval, stealth and strategy. Every game runs entirely in your browser using HTML5 canvas. There is nothing to install and no plugins to enable. You can browse the full list on the Games page.

No. Skywar does not run a login system. You can open any game and play immediately. We never ask for your name, email or phone number to play.

Yes — every game on the site is free to play. We do not gate gameplay behind payment. Optional ads on menu and lobby screens help cover hosting and development costs.

Anyone who enjoys arcade-style combat games and wants short, instant-load sessions. Every game is single-player and fictional — there are no real-world militaries, conflicts or events depicted.

Locally in your browser via localStorage. Saved games are tied to this browser profile on this device. Clearing site data, using a different browser, switching devices, or playing in private/incognito mode all start a fresh save.

Either site data was cleared (browser settings, cleaner extension, OS storage reset), or you opened the site in a different browser or in private mode. There is no server-side account to recover.

Not today. Skywar has no sign-in, so saves stay on the device that made them. We may add an optional opt-in sync in the future; we have no estimated date.

Yes — the ♥ library on each game card is stored only in your browser. We do not see it.

No — all games in Skywar are single-player against AI. Zone Rush has multiplayer-style squad rotation but you fight against the computer.

Each title is its own hand-tuned project with its own physics, AI, audio and progression. They share a portal (the site you are on) but they are not templated from a common engine. War Room is a strategic strike sim. Fighter Ops is a 2D dogfight sandbox. Vault Raid is a stealth heist. They feel different on purpose.

Some names are inspired by real-world designations (F-16, Spitfire, AH-64 Apache, Tomahawk, ICBM). All performance values, behaviors, scenarios and damage models are tuned for arcade play, not simulation. None of the content represents real militaries, governments or programs.

War Room and Missile Command both have a mission progression. Other titles (Sky Battle, Swarm Arena, Vault Raid, Zone Rush) are session-based — pick up, play, score, leave.

Any modern browser with HTML5 canvas and JavaScript enabled — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Brave, Opera. Internet Explorer is not supported.

Yes. Touch controls appear automatically on phones and tablets. Some games (large-world flight titles like Future Jet) are more comfortable on a tablet or in landscape orientation.

Big procedural maps (Future Jet, Fighter Ops, naval) push more pixels than session-arena games. Closing other tabs, lowering screen brightness, or switching to a smaller game (Sky Battle, Vault Raid) usually fixes it.

No. Games are loaded on demand each time you visit. Refresh the page to grab the latest version.

Ads help cover hosting and development. They only appear on menu, lobby and content pages — never overlaid on live gameplay. We use Google AdSense; you can read more on the Privacy page.

Skywar games are arcade-style combat fantasy. They depict fictional aircraft and weapons in non-graphic ways, but parents should make their own call based on their child. There is no chat, no user-generated content, and no sign-up — the surface area is small.

We do not collect personal data ourselves — there are no accounts. Standard internet infrastructure (hosting, CDN, analytics) and the Google AdSense ad network may process technical information. Full details on the Privacy page.

Use any standard ad-block browser extension. Gameplay still works exactly the same.
