When Google launches a game it is never a trivial thing but something innovative and a demonstration of technological power. The new Super Sync Sports game is the first example of a PC browser game to be played via mobile phone using the Chrome browser .
In practice, you play on the large screen of a computer connected to the internet, controlling the action remotely using an Android smartphone or tablet or an iPhone / iPad.
The web application allows you to synchronize any smartphone or tablet that has the Google Chrome browser with a computer, transforming the device into a portable controller.
The Super Sport Sync game allows you to choose between three sports: running, cycling and swimming and to play alone or together with other friends, each using their own mobile device, on the same screen as a computer.
UPDATE: The games described here no longer work except one: Racer, an online race that can be played with friends, using the mobile phone.
There is however a better and more advanced way today to play on PC or TV with your smartphone (such as Nintendo Switch) as written in another article.

Google suggests to connect via a strong WiFi signal and to use Google Chrome also on the computer .
The game however also works on Safari and Firefox (latest versions) not on Internet Explorer.
To get started, watch the cute presentation video that basically explains how Chrome Super Sync Sport works.
Connect now from your computer to //chrome.com/supersyncsports/, choose one of the three games between running, swimming and cycling and get started.
The player should obtain a unique ID code.
Then take the Android smartphone or iPhone open the Chrome browser and connect to the address g.co/super to open the game and enter the code provided by the computer.
If all goes well, the pairing will be made which makes it possible for the smartphone or tablet to function as a wireless joypad or a remote control for the computer (this is the same type of pairing as possible even with Youtube).
You can then choose from one of 50 different very nice characters and designed with cartoon graphics and then start competing.
Each sport requires you to move your fingers on the mobile screen in a certain way, as fast as possible, in a coordinated way.
For example, to pedal you have to make circles, to run, swipe your fingers upwards vertically and to swim, make horizontal swipes.
You can go even faster by staying in lane and keeping your fingers on the dotted arrows.
Smartphones and tablets are ideal for all types of games and with Super Sync Sport you can use mobile devices to create a new gaming experience on large and small screens.
Another game that can be played on the computer by controlling with the Android smartphone or tablet or from an iPhone, from the Google Chrome browser, is World Wide Maze .
By connecting to the same site from both a PC and a mobile phone, you can drive a ball in a path trying not to drop it to get it to the finish.
The game is in 3D and uses the layout of a website of your choice as background, the address of which must be pasted before starting.
The third game where you use your mobile phone as a Wii controller, this time in the truest sense of the word, is Rollit, where you throw the ball in a kind of Bowling by moving your arm with the mobile phone in your hand.
Rollit works on Samsung Galaxy smartphones, on iPhones and on all Android mobiles where Chrome browser can be installed.
Also worth mentioning
These are just some of the Google Chrome Experiments of which we have already seen some fantastic examples such as:
- Jam With Chrome to play group music via the web
- The interactive video of Cirque du Soleil
- The Wizard of OZ, mentioned among the best sites with 3D animations and interactive applications.
