Flash games, until recently, were the rule of browser games; now many web applications, streaming services and games are taking advantage of the new HTML5 technology. The result is fluid and light web pages, with multimedia functionality (see also article on how to view Youtube videos in html5), complex 3D animations and increasingly engaging interactivity. For this, today we see some HTML5 games and extraordinary websites that use the new HTML5 and that can be played or viewed without plugins and add-ons. The only requirement to open web pages in HTML5 is a compatible and updated browser: Safari, Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Edge . It should also not be underestimated that these games can be played online both from Windows PC and from Mac, Linux and also from iPad or iPhone which instead do not support Adobe Flash.
The website from which to find beautiful HTML5 games to play for free on the browser without flash and without downloading anything is HTML5games .
In HTML5games you can browse the games by category, or click on one of the recommended games so you can start immediately.
None of the games are hosted and produced by the site which instead works as an index that aggregates the various HTML5 games from all over the web providing a unique portal where to find the best ones. There is also a "mobile" category, perfect for those who use a mobile phone, an Android smartphone or an iPhone. Since many smartphones do not have support for Flash, you can play on mobile by going to HTML5games, without downloading any application and for free.
Among the nicest games found on HTML5Games is 2048, a puzzle game or Soccerstatic .
Among the best HTML5 games we have:

15) Kaipua is a fun 3D platformer game, free and free to play online on your browser.
16) X-Type shows what is possible with HTML5, being a game that would have needed hardware power if it had been in flash. X-Type is a clone game of R-Type, probably the best 2D spaceship shooter ever created. It is also one of the most difficult, so X-Type is also a demanding game, which requires players willing to stay focused for long periods of time.
17) HexGL is the best game in HTML5, graphically speaking.

You can get extra points by hitting the balls in their numbered order, but that's a real challenge. If you are up to a test of your aiming and strategy skills on the pool table, calculate the cue.
