“Yes, you are right but don’t bounce off. This blog is different. I promise! Give me 10 more seconds, and I’ll tell you how this blog isn’t like your usual gaming blogs.”

When we talk about games, our thinking revolves around video games, console-based games, or android games. But there is one more type of gaming equally – if not more – fun, and we fail to lend it the importance it deserves.

I am talking about ‘browser games.’

Let’s have a look at some of the fun-filled browser games that you can play once you get bored of all your video games and want a change of taste.

1. Pokémon Showdown

All in all, the fun is like you never had before. And if you are a 9-5er, you need to have that much-needed break from the Kafkaesque tasks of the workplace. Start playing Pokémon Showdown today.

2. Among us

Talk about online games these days, and there is one game that keeps popping up – Among Us. The game’s popularity went through the roof last year.

It was like everyone was playing it on Twitch, on their stories, on YouTube channels – turn your head around, and you’d see at least one person finding the ‘imposter.’

The game was released in 2018, but it really became every gamer’s darling during the pandemic. It is a multiplayer online game where deception wins you rewards.

The game is developed by inner sloth, and you can have a team from 4 to 10 players. You and your teammates are a crew on a spaceship stranded somewhere and have to return to the Earth.

But, there is an imposter who isn’t a part of the crew but an alien among the crew members. The crew has to find the impostor among them – thus the name Among Us.

The crew operates in silence and tries to fix the spaceship. But, if the impostor kills someone, the crew gathers to vote who they think the impostor is. If they vote out the impostor, they win. The impostor has to deceit the crew members to evade suspicion.

Impostors have different skills too. They can move fast and can escape through the vents. But they have to use these powers carefully. If a crew member notices them using these powers, their cover would be gone. The game is done, the impostor is found.

3. Powerline.io

If you are a fan of old Sanke games on your old mobile phones with dot matrix display, then we have a treat for you.

Powerline.io is an updated and vastly enhanced version of that vintage game. Here you can compete with players all over the world.

The rules are the same: eat points, grow bigger and avoid a collision. The game might not be as adventurous as other games on the list, but it surely will be an excellent way to live those good old days.

4. League of Angels – Heaven’s Fury

The world is coming apart, and you have to save it. No! This isn’t the reference to the pandemic unleashing miseries on our world.

This is the gameplay of League of Angels – Heaven’s fury.

It is a highly detailed fantasy game where you take the tole of a Dragoon and enlist your team of angels to fight against demons and their masters.

The best part about this game is the advances you make as you pass each level. You get to increase your powers, unlock divine weapons, and even discover holy artefacts.

The graphics and the plot are the two best things about this game, best enough to keep you addicted to the game for an endless amount of hours.

5. Tower of Hanoi

What’s better than a challenging mathematic game that shakes your brain and makes you use all of your critical and strategic thinking? Tower of Hanoi by Unlimited Gamez Mo is that brain teaser game that will definitely add to your fun experience.

It doesn’t look like a challenging game to people at first glance, and we don’t blame them. It is simply three rods placed next to each other, with one having rings. You have to move the rings into the third rod. Sounds simple?

But here’s the trick. The rings vary in size and are arranged in ascending order of their sizes, such that the smallest ring is at the top of the first rod. But while moving, you can place a larger ring over a smaller one.

So, you will have to think of a strategy to take out the last ring from the first rod – by moving the ones on top of it – and place it in the third row. It goes on until all rings are placed there.

Mind it, you only have limited moves to complete the task. So, you will have to be very smart with your moves.

6. Canabalt

Canabalt game is straight out of a Hollywood action movie. 

The city is being destroyed, and the hero is running for his life – this is the whole gameplay of Canabalt.

It is your typical running game where the character has to run to save his life. The city is being destroyed, and the bombs are falling over it. You have to run as far as you can while avoiding obstacles and saving yourself from the falling bombs.

It is as minimalistic a game as you can get. The entire game has only three colours: black, grey, and white. If it’s any consolation, there is a hint of attention to details too: like the birds flying, smoke billowing, and jets dropping bombs.

If it is a game that tests your skill and requires you to be lucky to not get blown to pieces by a falling bomb. 

Final words

So, next time you have a boredom attack, and you need some lighthearted fun, switch to any of these games. You will love and enjoy the ease with which you can play each one of these games.

Happy gaming.
