Search and discovery

Use the era, hardware influence, and genre honestly

Mention 8-bit, 16-bit, arcade, DOS-inspired, low-poly, boomer shooter, or another influence only when it describes the actual presentation. Pair nostalgia terms with the real gameplay genre for stronger discovery.

Release checklist

Prepare a stronger Retro listing

  • Show native gameplay at a readable scale
  • Explain the era and design traditions that inspired the game
  • Document resolution, aspect ratio, filters, frame rate, and full-screen behavior
  • List controller, keyboard, remapping, save, and continue options
  • State whether original assets, emulation, mods, or fan content require attribution
Built for Retro releases

A real search result for your game and your studio

NeonRoof creates a permanent public game page with descriptive copy, canonical metadata, Open Graph and X cards, structured data, screenshots, a trailer, system requirements, support links, and clear download or purchase details.

Your studio also receives a public developer page that can collect its biography, website, social links, released games, future releases, game artwork, and related NeonRoof News coverage.

Identity review

Prepare the listing while KYC is reviewed

Verified developer accounts can prepare titles while publisher identity review continues. Publishing unlocks after the required identity checks are approved, and paid sales also require Stripe payout readiness.

That keeps the release moving without pretending payment compliance is optional.

No-hassle option

Send the build and art. We will assemble the listing.

If the publishing tools get in the way, submit the binary, cover art, banner, up to seven gameplay images, YouTube trailer, contact details, and KYC information. NeonRoof will publish the catalog entry for free and email you when it is live.
