I have been testing some featured games at the arcade, and all them froze after a few moments:

This happens to me both on Chrome and on Firefox...
Maybe due to the following:

Disturbing...
Yep, Chrome broke all games published in 2012. We filed a bug report with them and they declined to fix it. There's more details in that thread. Long story short all that old content needs to be re-published, which affects all web content, not just our own arcade.
Our Arcade is in need of some upgrade work and we have it planned, and largely because of this I think we will require all games to be re-submitted when we relaunch it.
Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
How can Google do this? They're also gonna cause big problems for the Unity Player mid 2015 too.
As you said Ashley, all HTML5 games are affected and i know that Gamemaker are also having to modify their HTML5 exporter
