Credits: about Obrevane Layer
Obrevane Layer is an independent games site laid out like a level editor: six original casino-style games stacked as layers and played for pixels, a Sublayer of ordinary browser games by other makers, and Safe Mode, the brakes that keep play in proportion.
What is in the file
Each layer is a game we designed and built ourselves: Overlay and Parallax, two reel games made out of layers; Clockwork and Squeeze, two old card patiences; Drop Dead, a family dice game; and Twin Toss, a toss of two tokens. The covers are our own photographs of backlit boxes of cut acrylic. Every rule and every figure is printed on the layer's own page.
Why pixels
Pixels are points with no value whatsoever. Nobody can buy them, earn them anywhere else, swap them, hand them on or turn them into money, and there is nothing on the site to spend them on. That keeps the shape of these games without anything real riding on them, and it lets us be blunt about how chance games behave.
What we never do
- Nothing to buy anywhere, inside a game or outside one; no real money play; nothing to win that has monetary value.
- No accounts, no email to play, no adverts, no trackers and no cookies.
- No countdowns or reward timers, and no invented players, scores or reviews.
- No links to gambling operators and no ties to any business offering gambling for money.
The Sublayer
The Sublayer is a shelf of games made by other people that we play, review and link to. Places on the shelf are never sold, and each link goes directly to the people who made the game. It is how we point at good games that have nothing to do with chance or points.
