1 · Download the file

One HTML file, 746 KB. Save it anywhere and double-click it — no server, no internet, no updates to chase. Perfect for a laptop in a van with no signal.

Download the game

Saved as “Into the Pit — Hot Fuzz.html”. Desktop browsers play it straight from the file.

2 · Put it on your phone's home screen

A downloaded HTML file can't become an app icon on its own — phones only do that for installed web apps. So we ship a proper installable version: same game, real icon, opens fullscreen with no address bar.

  1. Open https://www.hotfuzz.co.za/play/ in Chrome on your phone.
  2. Tap the ⋮ menu (top right), then Install app / Add to Home screen.
  3. Confirm. The red star icon lands next to your other apps and opens the game fullscreen.
