What is a good browser-based game for visceral thrill and excitement?


Looking for:

Engaging, in-the-now, sensory: Sound FX, reaction-based, thrill, simulation OK

Not so much: In-your-head stuff, i.e. turn-based, prediction or strategy-building downtime, memory, logic, relationships, attention required to story/sequencing

Thanks for any suggestions!

I've been helping test https://gasgame.net/ . It's pretty early in development and somewhat unpolished, but it seems you haven't gotten many replies here. Desktop, multiplayer, no mobile support, top-down tank combat game. Wouldn't say thrilling though. No login needed but you can create an account if you want to save your progress. (I really don't like a browser game to require an account before I even try it!)

Here is a list of indie browser games you can search through: https://itch.io/games/platform-web

Something like this ? https://poki.com/en/g/blumgi-ball

Should be playable on mobile as well. Poki is an excellent platform for web games and I think Blumgi games could be a good fit to what you are looking for.

Any pinball simulator will do. The game is all about lights and action. Though the really good ones aren't built for web.

👤 kentbrew
https://ev.io is quite good.

Tankwars.io. Steep curve for newbs but in a full room of players is awesome
