Games
editThe hosted flash games are sorted in ten genres: Action, Adventure, Sports, Skills, Racing, Girls, Brain & Puzzle, Card & Board and Multiplayer. Several games also use an API to integrate the highscore-system of Fettspielen into their code.[citation needed]
Features
editThe site is free, and creating an account is optional. High scores are recorded for registered users, and users are given profile badges for activity on the site, e.g. commenting a game or having a highscore, and are able to gain ranks.[5]
The site offers three new games per day and 83% of its audience is located in Germany.[6] Fettspielen also had a sister-site called GirlsandGames.de.
