Who we are

BverGame is independently run by two people — Max handles operations, content, and writing; Leo handles engineering, game code, and audio. We've known each other for almost ten years. We worked at the same product company once, went separate ways, and came back together late 2024 to make this site.

Neither of us is from the games industry. So we don't build "AAA titles" — we build the kind of game you play for two subway stops and feel okay about. Casual but not careless. That's the bar we set.

Why we built this

By 2024 we were both burnt out on the App Store. A utility app took seven days to clear review, ad slots were brutal, and user acquisition cost six times what it did three years ago. One afternoon Leo opened a 2048 in a browser tab and played for twenty minutes. He looked up and said, "Let's just make a website. No app, no login, no subscription."

That's where BverGame started. A regression. What we wanted to do was simple:

Our editorial principles

Play first. Write after. If we haven't played it, we don't comment on it.

For every review on this site, Max plays the game to at least one full "frustration node" before writing. That means hitting 1024 in 2048 at least once. Reaching 200+ in Snake at least once. Clearing Intermediate Minesweeper at least once. Otherwise we don't write about it.

For every game Leo builds, two non-gamer friends have to play it without complaining "I don't get it" before it ships. We don't build "hardcore." We build "find your rhythm in 30 seconds."
