There are thousands of browser-based games out there, but not all of them are fun to play. In fact, some of them are downright awful – but never fear. We’ve compiled a list of the best titles to kill a few minutes of time or give you a welcome distraction when you need a mental break. ..

The Cookie Clicker formula is incredibly addictive and easy to play. The goal is to make as many cookies as you possibly can, by clicking on them. But don’t just click on them, make sure to drag and drop them into the cookie jar!

The cursor power-up is a great way to spend your cookies. It automatically clicks for you every ten seconds, so you can spend them on things like a cursor that will automatically click for you every ten seconds. Plus, a hundred cookies will let you hire a grandma to bake them for you, which will produce one cookie per second.

In this game, you continue to invest in more powerful production facilities and upgrading your individual cookie-makers output.

Cookie Clicker is a game that runs in the background, letting you focus on other tasks. You can leave it running in a separate tab and check it throughout the day. You can even save the game and continue later. Achievements and the crazy upgrade tree will keep you playing for hours on end.

Abobo’s Big Adventure

If you’re looking for a classic beat-em-up with a classic chip tunes soundtrack, Abobo’s Big Adventure is the game for you. It’s simple to play and easy to learn, making it perfect for those who want something simple and straightforward.

You use the A and S keys to punch and kick, and the directional keys to navigate the screen. Enemies come at you and you beat them down until their HP bar (which shows at the bottom right corner of the screen after you hit someone) drops to zero.

The game is full of references to classic video games. You’ll fight Goombas, the Black and White Spies, and even Donkey Kong. Once you complete the main story, there’s additional content to explore. This is a great homage to classic beat-em-ups from years ago. ..

Line Rider

Line Rider is a classic game that has been around for many years. The premise of the game is simple: you build a track for a man on a sled to ride. ..

Line Rider is a physics-based game that rewards players for going faster on steeper slopes and for using shallow slopes and uphill sections to control speed. Players build the track themselves, then hit the Play button to see how their sled performs. ..

If the track doesn’t work out just right, you can stop the game and make modifications. Don’t be afraid to try out jumps and loop-de-loops, but make sure you have enough speed to complete them! The last thing you want is for your character to crash and burn. ..

In this game, you play as a character named “Wendy” who must help save the day by rescuing as many people as possible from a dangerous building. The game is played in a top-down perspective, and you use your mouse to move Wendy around the screen. You can also use your touchpad to draw proper lines on the ground, and to interact with other characters in the scene.

Threes

In Threes, you play as a character who must navigate a three-dimensional world in order to find and collect items. The game is easy to play, but incredibly difficult to master.

You start with a random assortment of tiles that you move using the arrow keys. The trick is in the combination of those tiles. A “1” tile will only combine with a “2” tile to make a “3.” Any tile with “3” or higher only combines with a twin.

That means you need to press “3” tiles together to make “6,” and then press two “6” tiles together to make “12.” With only 16 empty spots on the board, this can get difficult quickly. You can see the upcoming tile, so there is an element of strategy involved.

Threes is a great way to keep your brain active and challenged. It’s also great for when you need to work on a project but want something to distract you. ..

Agar.io

Agario is a game where you must navigate your way through a small circle, eating circles smaller than yourself, to grow in size and become the next leader.

The game is a race to consume as many circles as possible in order to grow larger. If you collide with another player, they will eat you and the game is over. However, if you can grow large enough without being consumed by another player, you’ll have a massive advantage. The larger the circles you consume, the larger you’ll grow.

Agario is a game that can be difficult, but it’s also fun. You can set custom user names, so you might run into NSFW content if you’re playing on a school or work computer.
