Nailed the Fly

Nailed the Fly is a Brazilian free online gaming platform that runs entirely in the browser. It was created in 2024 by developer Alex Marra as a digital version of the classic "nail the fly with a flip-flop" game, built for fun between projects. Positive feedback from friends and family encouraged Marra to expand the concept into a full platform of quick, free, and nostalgic games. The platform is operated under MMSoft Digital, a personal project sustained by ad revenue and sponsor partners. The catalog has grown to include more than a dozen games, such as Swat the Fly (reflex), Wordle (words), Memory Game (memory with multiplayer), 2048 (puzzle with multiplayer), Bubble Shooter (arcade), Deep Attack (space ship), Pong (classic with multiplayer), Ships (ship battle with multiplayer), Croc Crossing (Frogger style), Target Shooting (reflex), Battleship (strategy), Brick Breaker, 3INVADER, and Kung Fu Castle. Each game is built from scratch with a focus on mobile performance and short, satisfying gameplay loops. The platform emphasizes no downloads, no invasive ads mid-gameplay, and no barriers to entry. Technically, the games are built with HTML5, modern JavaScript, React, Next.js, and Pixi.js. Multiplayer functionality uses lightweight WebSocket servers hosted in Brazil. The site is a Progressive Web App (PWA), allowing users to install it as an app on mobile or desktop and even play some titles offline. The mission is to bring back the feeling of 80s and 90s arcades to anyone with a browser, believing that a good game does not need to be expensive, complex, or heavy — it needs to be fun in the first 5 seconds and addictive in the next 5 minutes. Nailed the Fly is a personal project by Alex Marra, who can be contacted directly. The platform welcomes suggestions for new games, partnerships, and feedback. It is a private, independent operation with no external investors or corporate parent beyond MMSoft Digital.

Nailed the Fly began in 2024 as a personal project by Brazilian developer Alex Marra. The initial idea was simple: create a digital version of the classic "nail the fly with a flip-flop" game, a nostalgic pastime, just for fun between other projects. After sharing it with friends and family, the positive feedback revealed an appetite for quick, free, and nostalgic browser games that required no downloads and had no invasive ads interrupting gameplay. Encouraged by this response, Marra expanded the concept into a full platform. The catalog grew to include remastered versions of classic games such as Pong, Wordle, Memory, 2048, Brick Breaker, Bubble Shooter, a Frogger-style game called Jacaré (Croc Crossing), target shooting, Battleship, 3Invader, Kung Fu Castle, and more. Each game was built from scratch with a focus on mobile performance and short, satisfying gameplay loops. The platform is operated under MMSoft Digital, a personal venture founded and run by Alex Marra. It is sustained by ad revenue from the platform itself and by sponsor partners.
