Unlike console games which can be a hurdle to target separate game builds for, Android and PC browser are fairly compatible. It’s not difficult at all to build games in HTML5, Java, or Unity, and target them for both Android and web browser together.
Many early Android games in fact were ports of browser games, or heavily inspired by early flash games. Angry Birds was practically a straight-up clone of a flash game called Crush the Castle, and pretty much everyone knows C and was based on Bejeweled. But we’re not necessarily here to talk about clones, we want to talk about games that are available on both Android and web browser platforms. In this article, we will take a look at some of the top browser games which can be played alternatively to their Android version.
Moto X3M
Stunt trial games are very popular, and Moto X3M is certainly a fun one to play. If you enjoy obstacle games like Hill Climb Racing, you’ll most likely enjoy playing Moto X3M in a browser (or on Android). There are numerous bikes to unlock, and better bikes will help you progress through the levels as they increase in difficulty.
There are a lot of hazards to avoid, which will reset your bike to the last checkpoint on a course. At the end of each course, you’ll receive a certain amount of stars based on how quickly you finished the level. Stars are then used to purchase new bikes – you’ll also get additional points for doing stunts, such as mid-air backflips.
Drift Hunters
If you’re a fan of whipping cars around tight turns, Drift Hunters offers some of the most realistic drift physics in an Android / browser racing game. Drift Hunters offers 25 real-world vehicles, such as the Toyota Corolla AE86, Nissan S13, Toyota Supra, RWB 911, and others. Each car can be tuned and customized, which actually gets fairly deep.
While customizing the vehicles is simply a matter of paintjobs and rims, the tuning is complex and offers a lot of deeper details to alter the physical handling of your vehicle. If you’d like to try the browser version, you can play Drift Hunters on CrazyGames.
Bullet Force
Bullet Force is a first-person shooter that feels quite a bit like Call of Duty. There’s a lot of weapons to unlock, and further customization can be done with weapon attachments and skins. You can also unlock camos and perks. It’s a pretty fun FPS game, whether you’re playing on Android or in a browser – though using a mouse and keyboard is preferable for FPS games, in our opinion.
The Android version is a bit more developed, with additional features compared to the browser version. In the Android version you can choose regional servers, additional maps, and weapons. It seems development on the browser version has stopped, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth playing, if you’d rather play Bullet Force in a browser. Alternatively, you could run the Android version in an Android emulator for PC.
Lordz.io
This RTS multiplayer game seems simple at first glance, being developed in HTML5, but it’s quite an addictive experience. The PvP mode supports up to 20 players on a single server, which makes for truly massive RTS battles. You’ll need to recruit different types of soldiers, spend your resources wisely, and upgrade your base to conquer the other players.
It’s standard RTS fanfare, and while it might not have the depth or graphics of RTS games like Company of Heroes or Starcraft 2, but the huge multiplayer battles in Lordz.io make up for it. With 20 players in a single map, things get intense, and quickly.
