When a Ranked run ends, the arcade server checks it. Chikun's Escape and STACKED runs are replayed on the server from their recorded inputs. Hard Money Heroes runs are plausibility-checked against the game's limits; they are not replayed. The arcade's relayer then publishes the result on LitVM, and your results screen links to the transaction. If publishing fails, it retries automatically, and you can retry it from your profile.
The three active games support on-screen touch controls as well as desktop input. A current browser is required. Performance varies by device; the games include settings for controls, audio, and visual effects.

The next screen prepares your hero and the world while you review your insertion point and field tips.
