To give an example of what I’m thinking of…Kingdom of Loathing, Lioden, Flight Rising.
What are some others? I’m sure there’s entire genres of browser-based games I’ve missed.

Universal Paperclips: https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/
It’s a semi-idle clicker game, ala Cookie Clicker, but a bit more interactive and very cool. There is a definitive end to it which is nice for this type of game.
Looks like someone else already got to this before I did, but +1 to trying it out.
I sometimes think back to this game. I like that the theme it is going for is not always consistently the same. I don’t think any other idle clicker has actually given me things to think about like this one did.
Universal Paperclips, epic game highly recommended but expect to lose hours of your time.
I second this suggestion, one of those games where the less you know about it the better
Oh, man. I haven’t heard of Kingdom of Loathing in for ever . I recall grinding the hell out of it back when, and getting all the way to the final stand-off with the big bad and… there was a placeholder. So, I messaged the dev and he all but told me to spend some time in the real world, the final boss wasn’t ready yet, wtf was I doing speedrunning? 🤪😅
Try out the new PC games for kingdom of loathing. There’s a fun western and a noir based one. Same humor and better gameplay
Oh boy, unfortunately most Flash games aren’t playable on the web yet, else I’d be name-dropping like 200 games.
Everyone has to play Sonny 2 at some point. It’s a genuine masterpiece of turn based RPGs despite being a 14 year old flash game. The atmosphere is amazing. The music is banging. The build variety is immense.
All the blue elephant games like This is the only level and Achievement Unlocked are also classics. Many of them don’t work on Ruffle yet though.
No-one has to die is a story-driven choose your own adventure that’s surprisingly good.
I could go on and on but for a start you should all try these!
You can use ruffle to play flash games. ActionScript 2 support is pretty good. ActionScript 3 is kinda hit or miss.
Yeah, the links I’ve posted are Ruffle-powered.

Don’t wait in town.
That game took so many unexpected turns when I first played it.
Love it.
Line Rider was awesome!
Kittens Game: http://kittensgame.com/web/
I’m sorry for taking away all of your free time.
It’s a predecessor of Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies and Mask of the Rose.
Lots of grinding in the later game, but still highly recommended because of the fantastic text quality. I played it for almost a year.
I completely forgot about Fallen London. I need to go play again!
Fallen London is pretty cool . It is even better if they don’t have the candle 🕯️
Pay once for full game like sunlesssea please.
I also willing to pay for more content dlc
Super auto pets
Quick plug for the Lemmy community for it, hopefully we can get some more people involved:
Is there also a browser based version? I’ve only seen/played it on steam/PC and mobile
Yep. Browser is also where you can play the beta patch when it’s going on and you can play as a guest.
There’s a browser based version of Oregon Trail I’ve played a fair amount of
the Vex series are pretty good parkour/platformers that even had their own level builder
red ball
one fun one was the helicopter one where you move blocks into positions that I forget the name of
I forget the exact name of the series, it’s Flight or I Can Fly or something like that. The one with the penguin where you upgrade your glider and try to destroy an iceberg
A pretty good one with a rocket you upgrade and eventually get to Mars that’s fun
Sorry I forget the names, it’s been a while. Most probably aren’t even playable anymore unfortunately
QWOP You control a track runner to get as far as you can with Q, W, O, and P which are the left/right legs and (I believe) thigh/calf motion. It’s very difficult, failure is entertaining, and success feels great.
My 9-month-old is just starting to get into assisted walking, and I always compare his attempts to QWOP. Only a couple people have gotten the reference and it makes me very sad.
Different genres I guess but
Simon Tatham Puzzle Collection
Stitches (with links to more games, don’t think there’s a central site)
I love Simon Tatham’s puzzles
Paper.io is fantastic
I’ll go for something more simple, but that you still can spend hours on.
Tetris. Jstris if you want a minimalistic version and Tetr.io if you want something more polished.
I also like to play minesweeper, minesweeper.online is the best one I’ve found. I especially like the no-guessing mode which makes the game a lot less frustrating.
In this vein, sudokuslam.com is cool too
There’s:
-
skribbl.io it’s a draw and guess game, kinda like charades.
-
Transformice was also pretty fun. They have a steam version of the game now, I don’t know if they still have a browser port though.
