20 Most Addictive Browser Games
1. Abobo’s Big Adventure
Abobo’s Adventure is for those yearning for the classic Nintendo NES experience. Abobo’s Big Adventure is an action RPG in which you play as Abobo from the Super Dragon franchise while fighting your way through villains like Donkey Kong and wave after wave of henchmen with different capabilities.
Controls are simple because of the linear navigation format, with the ‘A’ and ‘S’ keys being the only attack buttons for kicks and punches. Aside from the main quest, there are multiple additional levels with different characters from classic Nintendo franchises.

2. Powerline.io
If you loved the classic Snake and also liked Tron’s bike battles, Powerline.io is the game for you. The objective is to collect as many power-ups as you can to increase the length of your neon snake, which can be done using the arrow keys.
But do keep in mind that your snake will die as soon as its head touches another snake or its own glowing body. Also, if you slither closely to another neon snake, you’ll receive a speed boost. The premise is simple, but with a ton of players on the board, it becomes challenging to evade the traps created by their movements.

3. Street Skater
Street Skater is a retro style skating game in which you control a skateboarder to perform some smooth ollies and kickflips. The goal is to collect as many coins as possible without dying. And with dying, I mean a gruesome death in which your head flies off and the body is shattered to pieces like glass as soon as you hit an obstacle such as an iron bar, levitating boulder, etc. Just tap the space bar to jump and perform aerial tricks, while the shift button will slow you down a bit.

4. TacticsCore.io
One of the most visually refined browser games out there, TacticsCore.io puts you in a battle between two factions. You can choose from a wide array of war machines such as spidertank, bomber, and Warhawks among others. The gameplay is smooth and the controls are simple, with just a mouse the WASD keys enough to wreak havoc on the battlefield for blowing some tanks and fighter jets. On a personal note, TacticsCore.io is hands down one of the most impressive browser games I’ve tried recently.

5. Linerider
If physics-based simulation games are your thing, Linerider will certainly put your knowledge and skills to test. In the game, you are required to draw a track on which a boy sitting on a sled can ride. You can create paths that are smooth or you can also go for risky roads for doing stunts and some high flying maneuvers after using the speed button, but just don’t draw some unrealistic paths. When you are finished drawing, simply hit the play button to test your luck.

6. Blast Arena
In Blast Arena, you start in a maze constructed out of stone and metallic squares, alongside other players. Your goal is to plant bombs and break the stone walls in order to collect items and whoever collects the maximum number of items without dying wins the game. Just press the space bar to place the bomb at a strategic location where the explosion can break the highest number of stones to win you rewards. But do keep in mind that your rivals will try to grab the fruit of your hard work, so beware.

7. Nightpoint
Fans of the zombie genre will love Nightpoint, a multi-player action RPG game in which you fight hordes of zombies and also compete against other players on the leaderboard. But there is a difference here. Instead of just blasting off walking deads, you also have to take cover from the bullets shots by rivals and have to upgrade your arsenal to take them out one by one. A piece of advice here- use a mouse to quickly shoot and change the direction, because the trackpad is not of much use in the game, especially when you are surrounded by zombies and shotgun-toting rivals.

8. Threes
If you liked 2048, you will almost certainly fall in love with its predecessor, Threes. The game’s objective is quite simple, make the highest number possible by combining number tiles before the board fills and you can no longer move any more tiles. But there’s a catch. The number ‘1’ only combines with a tile numbered ‘2’. Any tile labeled with the number 3 or higher will only combine with an identical tile. The most challenging part is that one arrow keypress will move the entire board, so planning mergers in advance is a huge risk.

9. Wings.io
If you want you to pass time engaged in a dogfight and blasting jets in the air, Wings.io is the perfect solution. The game is best played using a mouse. Just move it to change the course of your fighter jet and keep the left button pressed to shoot lasers and bullets as well as drop bombs on your enemies. And don’t forget to collect items like health and weapon upgrades parachuting down the skies to continue your rampage and top the charts.

10. Sunset Bike Racer
If you are a fan of bike racing and stunts, this might be the right game. In Sunset Bike Racer, you control a biker who zooms past an uneven terrain on his dirtbike and performs daredevil stunts. The controls are quite simple- press space to speed up, left/right arrow key to spin in the air, Shift to boost and Ctrl to press the brake. The first few levels are simple, but as you progress in the game, a slight delay in applying the brake or a wrong stunt means the game is over.

12. Monsiv
Chess is a great way to kill some time and exercise the brain, but it also takes a lot of time to finish a game. In comes Monsiv, a lighter take on Chess played on a 5×5 board with 5 players on each side that move just one block in each move. The objective is to protect the throne, similar to how you protect the king in chess. And in case the computer appears too easy an opponent, you can opt for the PvP mode to play against a human opponent.

You can choose from a total of eight game modes which include survival, 2/4 team, domination, and tag.

14. Tetris
Some games never go out of vogue and Tetris is the best proof of it. The popular block arrangement game has come a long way from being a staple on consoles with a black and white screen to its colorful variation we are suggesting you now. The goal remains the same earn points by clearing horizontal lines, but it’s the neon-colored blocks that add a freshness to the classic game that will surely help you kill some time during breaks.

15. Snail Bob
Snail Bob is a strategy based game which requires a combination of perfect timing and some physics skills to rescue a snail from various scenarios. No button-mashing required here, because all you need is a strategic mindset and quick fingers to lead the snail to the exit door. The premise is simple, but the mechanical traps and the co-ordinated mechanism of individual parts make it increasingly complex to help the snail as you progress through the levels.

16. Shell Shockers
Shell Shockers is a very different kind of shooting game. Instead of blasting heads and machines, you are required to shoot eggs and gain energy from, well, eggs. By the way, you play as an egg too. There are four classes of players to choose from which include scrambler (scrambled eggs, anyone) and eggsploder, each equipped with a different weapon suited for long-range and close quarter gunfight. Get ready with your office mouse and practice your fingers on the WASD keys, because shell Shockers will keep you engaged for some time.

17. Winter Rush
For fans of winter sports, Winter Rush is a cool game to show off some skiing skills. The gameplay is smooth, the controls are easy to master and the background score is just perfect to help you nail some daring moves on the snow. Just press shift to accelerate, control to brake and a/d keys to control the degree of aerial movements. And trust me when I say this- it feels good to execute that perfect double back flip.

18. Vector Runner
Despite being one of the oldest entries on the list, Vector Runner is still one of the best if you just want a simple game to pass some time and relax without being overwhelmed. Just move across the neon green path and collect items, while avoiding obstacles with just a single tap. After a few checkpoints, the fast pace and turbulences keep adding more excitement to the gameplay, and to further enrich the experience is the awesome background track.

19. Booster Space
Booster Space is a space fight game in which you control a rocket while the objective is to avoid the obstacles and getting rammed by the enemy ships. The best part is that you can play the game by solely using the mouse to control the ship’s movement and fire at the obstacles simultaneously. You can collect boosters to speed up your ship, but keep in mind that it becomes more challenging to manoeuvre the ship at high velocity. But hey, what would be the fun in going slow when you pilot a spaceship?
