Which games are on this list
A game is here when its creator posted it on X in Japanese. That says where the post came from, not which languages the game supports: check “Play in” on each game’s page, or see games that need no words.
Score = log(likes) + log(reposts) + ½ log(views). Logs keep one viral post from burying everything else. Numbers come from the original post on X and are updated with each refresh.
