Game-online.io is a small, hand-built library of free online games. Every title here was written in-house rather than licensed from a game network, which means there are no third-party pop-ups, no redirect ads and no bundled installers between you and the game.
What makes it different
- Instant play. Games are plain HTML5 and JavaScript. A page loads in well under a second and the game starts right there - no plugin, no launcher, no loading screen that asks you to sign up.
- Works on any device. Each game supports a keyboard on desktop and touch gestures on phones and tablets. The layout adapts to the screen you are on.
- No account, ever. High scores are stored in your browser's local storage, on your own device. There is nothing to register and no email address to hand over.
- Made one at a time. Rather than dumping thousands of recycled titles into a directory, the library grows game by game, and each one gets its own page with real instructions and strategy notes.
The library right now
There are currently 4 games online, across 3 categories: puzzle games, arcade games, casual games. New games are added regularly - the new games page lists the latest ones first, and the RSS feed will tell you when something lands.
Technology
The site is a static HTML site with no framework and no client-side router. Pages are pre-rendered at build time, so what a search engine sees is exactly what a visitor sees. The games themselves use the HTML5 Canvas API and run entirely on your device - nothing about your play session is sent anywhere.
