FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is the sound not working?
Browsers require user interaction before playing audio. Click anywhere on the page first, then toggle the SFX or MUSIC buttons. Make sure your device is not muted.
Can I play on mobile devices?
Yes! All games are optimized for mobile play. Some games may work better in landscape mode. Touch controls are supported throughout.
Do games save progress?
Individual games may have their own save features. Check each game's instructions. Browser storage is used when available.
Why black and white only?
MonoBit embraces minimal retro aesthetics. The monochrome design reduces visual noise and creates a focused, nostalgic gaming experience.
Are there more games coming?
Yes! We're working toward our goal of 100 games. New retro classics are added regularly. Check back often for updates.
