Our promises

These six promises guide every update. If a new feature breaks one of them, the feature doesn't ship.

Just play

It's cartoon tag made of candy. Everyone stays happy.

  • Toy-like candy launchers that look nothing like the real world
  • Tagged players burst into confetti and hop right back in
  • Playful pops and boings, no sad or scary sounds

Win together

Teamwork beats tag count.

  • Grab the flag, hold the sweet spots, protect your Queen
  • End-of-match awards celebrate helpers and teamwork, not just tags
  • No teasing banners

Play with people you know

Every room is private. You only get in with an invite.

  • Join through a link or room code
  • No open text or voice chat with strangers
  • Quick chat like "Nice one!", "Follow me!" and "Good game!"

Fair for everyone

Nobody can pay to win.

  • No loot boxes or paid surprise rewards
  • Outfits and stickers come from playing
  • No fake timers or "come back or lose it" pressure

Easy to stop

Short rounds with a clear finish line.

  • Matches last 5 to 10 minutes
  • Every match ends on a results screen: one more, or done
  • The next match never starts on its own

Simple and private

Open the browser and play. That's it.

  • No sign-up, no email, no password
  • Your name and settings stay on your device
  • Play solo against bots, even offline

Every word is kind: no scary or mean words, ever.

Keeping it free

SugarStrike is free, has no ads and nothing to buy, and it always will.

If you're a grown-up and you'd like to help with the hosting costs, you can buy us a coffee ☕. It's completely optional and doesn't unlock anything in the game.

Thank you, Kenney

Some of our characters (the Cube Pets, Mini Characters and Blocky Characters) and many of the 3D models on the maps and in Explore come from Kenney (kenney.nl), who shares them free for anyone to use (CC0). We recolor them in candy colors. Everything else is made for SugarStrike.

Built for friends and families

SugarStrike is an early build (v0.4). It hasn't been officially age-rated yet; we design it to the standard of an E10+ / PEGI 7 game.
