- Share private links or publish to a community gallery with leaderboards and multiplayer in select genres

Limitations to Consider
- US-only and 18+ at launch
- Creation runs on weekly token limits; the free tier gets a limited number, and Google AI subscribers get more
- WIRED found published games feel samey, with near-identical menus and music, and called much of it 'AI slop'
