Personally I’ve played a hell of a lot of HexArena. Just a simple, low intensity game that runs well and is maintained :))
And before anyone says it, chess and go are great browser games!
Kingdom of Loathing; nothing else comes close
Such a great game.
I’ve played alot of paperclips in classes, it just looks like a random website but it’s a really fun idle clicker thingy it’s at https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/index2.html
On the topic of idle games, Cookie Clicker and A Dark Room still hold up well.
Dark room?
Its a somewhat more story and gameplay focused than Cookie Clicker, but still pretty chill. I won’t say too much more, considering that it’d just spoil the fun of discovery.
Thanks you killed my night
Glad to help man haha
I revisit this every six months or so. It’s so good.
Learn 2 Fly and Feudalism 2
Urban Dead was fun back when I played it. Used to be on the forums a lot and organize curing centres or safe zones.
Dominate Game. Great online risk game with elo system. You could play the default maps in the browser but thier client let you play tons of customer player made maps. Sadly this one got taken down a long time ago, is has a spiritual successor as Dominate 12.
Supremacy 1914. Only played 2 matches of this game, but do to its nature it was over the course of 6 months or so. I believe they have a download client now and the game is also on Steam now.
Barhah!
I replay candybox/candybox 2 at least once a year. Fantastic incremental ascii games
I had a list of some flash games I used to obsess over, but I can’t find it right now. I’ll throw Sonny 2 as my recommendation, I beat that game many times and I still come back to it every now and then. It’s a top-tier RPG.
I would also recommend Gemcraft and Bloons TD, but they have premium sequels now that are way better than the web games.
I remember spending a lot of time playing browser games from Nitrome.
Mutiny, that cave runner game, Dirk Valentine, Ice Breaker, Bad Ice, etcetera.
I also played a lot of the Bloons series. Hell, when I found out about BTD5 flash, I thought it was some fake fan made game that would give me a virus.
cookie clicker, that chromium dino game. I think I also did dark room at some point.
that pokemon browser game. There’s also a taiko game out there. (haven’t checked lately)For me this is a hard toss up between Pizza King too and the Submachine series, the Submachine series is an amazing escape/puzzle style series that has a really good story
and Pizza King 2 is the best management style Pizzeria Simulator game that I have found to date, many of those management style games focus more on the cooking aspect than the management aspect but this one takes the cake with being an actual management Sim instead of a cooking
Slither.io is definitely my most played browsergame. It gets way more fun with a mod that lets you zoom out a little, as the bigger you get the worse the experience normally gets…
I think this old school browser game Utopia counts?
Played it a ton years ago.
Penguin attack
Age of War. Was also the last browser game I ever played. Yes it’s old.
