Why play arcade games in the browser?

Browser arcade games load in seconds — no app store, no waiting for a download, no storage used on your device. These games are built on HTML5 Canvas and run in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on any platform. They work on iPhone, Android, Chromebook, Windows, and macOS.

Because they run over a normal HTTPS connection — like any website — they work on school and office networks where app installs are blocked.

Snake is the most universally known and replayable. Flappy Bird is the most punishing — most people can't get past 5 pipes on the first try. Helicopter Game is the original one-button browser classic. Knife Throw is the most satisfying when you hit a perfect run.
