WHAT'S THE MEANING?

A browser game is a kind of video game that is played through a web browser over the internet. Browser games include all game genres, be it a single-player or a multiplayer. Portable by nature, they can be played on different devices, web browsers, or even operating systems.

DID YOU KNOW?

Gone are the glory days of flash. Did you know that you can now play browser games that don't need Adobe Flash? Browser-based games are perfect for a short-time casual game. More often than not, they are free of charge, and perhaps one of its greatest pros is that it requires no download at all. But has it ever occurred to you when you are just itching to play a browser game because you are so bored, suddenly you will be asked to install the latest Flash Player? Such a bummer, right? It somehow defeats the nature of browser-based games--its accessibility. Thanks to HTML 5, you are now not required to install a Flash Player or any plug-in in browsers for flash games because every modern web browser has it. Whether you are a worker, a student, you definitely need small breaks and browser games are the best way to spend them. 

Perhaps, one of the charms of browser games is their linearity of gameplay. Since most audiences are on their short breaks, they do not have the luxury of time and effort to think and worry about the development of their character's state. All they need to do is solve a simple puzzle, kill enemies, or pass the quest. Nothing more complicated. Lastly, what makes people keep coming back to it from time to time is its variety of genres. Be it cooking, classic puzzle games, or even MMORTS browser games, they will always be timeless!
