Quick Troubleshooting FAQ
đŽ My score did not show up on the global scoreboard?
Makecade scoreboards connect live to Google Cloud Firestore. If your score did not appear, verify that your browser is not blocking WebSocket traffic or that aggressive tracker-blocking extensions are not disabling Firebase endpoints. Scores typically update within 1-2 seconds of submission.
đ Why is there no sound when the game starts?
Modern web browsers enforce strict autoplay policies requiring user engagement before allowing Web Audio synthesis. Simply click or tap the game canvas once, and audio synthesis will activate automatically.
đą Can I play Makecade games on mobile touchscreens?
Yes! Games like Space Ninja and Invert include responsive touch overlays with virtual D-pads and on-screen action buttons when loaded on phones or tablets.
