#10: Defend The Beach
This has got to be one of the coolest typing games you can play on a browser. The military theme definitely adds loads of excitement. The words are represented by enemy ships and weapons trying to attack your beach fort.
Each stage gets more and more challenging as the enemies get bigger and the words get longer. When your fingers fail you, you can call on an airstrike to annihilate all enemies. It’s not for the faint of heart!
#9: Wordmeister
For word buffs out there, here’s a game just for you. Wordmeister has a gameplay similar to the Scrabble. It has several features that make this version of the classic board game highly engaging.
You are pitted against a smart AI, so the player is kept on their toes. Other features include avatar selection, option to shuffle tiles, watch the tutorial, and more.
#8: Learn German Basic Skills
Here’s a quick and fun way to learn basic German. By the end of this game, you’ll be proud of your newly-acquired language skills. The game teaches basic German vocabulary and grammar by using several question types. These include matching images with words and constructing simple sentences.
The techniques used are supported by research in cognitive science and psychology. So if you want to know the difference between your “Katze” and “Hund” or your “ich” and “du”, try this game!
#7: Funny Faces
This is a game that will test how well you can remember details. You will be shown a series of faces, and you have to reconstruct each one within a given time limit. Sounds simple enough? You’ll be surprised how challenging it can be to recall certain pictorial details!
This kids’ game can also be enjoyed by adults. You’ll encounter a funky old woman, a green-faced alien, and many other interesting faces.
#6: Escape From Aztec
In this game, Aztec is the malignant spirit of a king. And you have just stolen his prized treasure. What else can you do but run for your dear life!
Navigate your way through ancient ruins. Jump over gaping holes, slide under barriers, and avoid all the deadly traps ahead of you. Use boosters to help you get even farther. Don’t forget to collect coins so you can buy upgrades in the store.
#5: Presidential Golf
Whether you like the POTUS or not, we’re sure you will enjoy this satirical golf game. This is an action game that’s loaded with funny lines popularized by the honorable American president.
You have to go through several holes in a golf course riddled with water hazards, hilly terrain, and various challenges. Are you pro winning like the POTUS? Then swing and putt your way to victory with Presidential Golf! It’s gonna be yuge!
#4: Monster Tower Defense
Meet the cutest monsters this side of town. They just want to defend their homes from an invasion of an offensive army of… balls! Yes, balls of all colors and patterns are rolling through the streets and you have to stop them.
Place your defensive monsters at strategic locations along the path in order to survive the attack. With limited energy to deploy monsters, you have to make smart decisions real quick!
#3: Puppy Rescue
Among all the games in this list, Puppy Rescue is probably the one that will challenge your hand-eye coordination the most.
You’re a hero puppy whose mission is to rescue the other puppies. You do this by flying a helicopter and attempting to land in the designated helipad. One wrong move, and you go kaboom! The gameplay is almost as hard as that of Flappy Bird, and just as addicting.
#2: Clash of Vikings
Defend your towers from an onslaught of enemies while launching your own offensive against their kingdom too. This game has gorgeous graphics and compelling gameplay.
You can use troops or spells to attack and defend. These include the slow-moving yet strong Brute, the powerful Sorceress, balls of fire, and many more. Choose your weapons and defenses well, or suffer defeat!
#1: Jumpee Land
Our top pick for best HTML5 game for 2017 is Jumpee Land. It's a 3D game built with WebGL. This year is all about WebGL, the technology that lets you create dazzling 3D HTML5 games. Jumpee Land lets you control cute animals as they make their way through a maze fraught with dangers at every jump.
It’s easy at the start, but you’ll find out soon enough that it takes some serious dexterity to reach far in this game. Compelling gameplay, simple controls, eye candy visuals, and delightful sounds make this game #1 on our list.
