About

PocketLap started as a group chat where three of us kept swapping screenshots of weird little racing games we found late at night. At some point we figured we might as well write it all down properly, so here we are.

We're a tiny independent team. Nobody pays us to like a game, and we buy or download everything ourselves like any other player. If a title gets a high score, it's because it earned it on our own phones during real commutes and lunch breaks.

We lean toward racing and arcade stuff because that's what we actually enjoy, but we test across genres so the catalog stays honest. A game makes it onto the site only after at least one of us has put a few hours into it.

The goal is simple: tell you whether something is worth the download, in plain language, from people who played it instead of skimming a press release.
