CHAPTER 01
HTML5 game development: games that open from a link
A browser game skips the hardest step in mobile gaming: getting someone to install an app. With HTML5 game development, a player taps a link in an ad, a QR code on packaging or a message from a friend, and the game is running in seconds on their phone or computer. Omebly builds these games with Three.js, PlayCanvas and Unity WebGL, and keeps them small enough to load quickly on mobile data.
01.1
Where browser games work
Browser games work well for brand campaigns and gamified product launches, for publishers who want games inside their own site, and for training and education where installing software is not an option. They are part of our wider game development service, with one very specific focus: speed to first play.
CHAPTER 02
What’s included in a browser game
The right engine for the web. Not every engine produces a light browser build. We choose between three options. Three.js is a JavaScript library for custom 3D scenes and gives very fine control. PlayCanvas is a browser-first game engine with a visual editor and small builds. Unity WebGL lets us share one project between web and mobile, at the cost of a larger download.
02.1
A small first download
Loading time is the biggest reason people abandon browser games. We compress textures, use Brotli compression for code, trim unused engine features and load assets in stages. The aim is to put something playable on the screen while the rest of the game arrives in the background.
02.2
Controls for every device
The same link might be opened on a phone, a tablet or a laptop. We detect the input method and switch between touch controls, mouse and keyboard. We also handle screen rotation and the browser’s address bar, which can cover part of the game on mobile.
02.3
Saving progress without an account
Most people will not sign up just to play a browser game. For longer games we save progress in the browser so players can come back later on the same device, and add optional cloud save only when the game needs it across devices. For short campaign games, we keep sessions brief enough that saving is not needed at all.
02.4
Accessibility basics
Clear contrast, readable text sizes, captions for spoken audio and controls that do not rely on fast reactions alone help more people finish the game.
02.5
Embedding, hosting and analytics
The game can live on its own page, inside your website or in an iframe on a partner site. We set up hosting with the right caching and compression, and add analytics events for starts, completions and where players drop off, so you can judge the campaign properly.
CHAPTER 03
How we approach browser games: trade-offs to know
Browsers have memory limits. Mobile browsers, especially Safari on iPhone, give a web page far less memory than a native app gets. Large textures or long audio files can make the page reload. We set memory and file-size budgets at the start and test on real iPhones and Android phones every week.
03.1
WebAssembly makes engines practical
Unity’s WebGL builds compile C# into WebAssembly, which runs much faster than plain JavaScript. It is the reason full game engines now work in browsers, but it also means the first download includes part of the engine. For very short campaign games, a lighter Three.js or PlayCanvas build usually loads faster.
03.2
Audio needs a tap first
Browsers block sound until the player interacts with the page. We design a start screen that unlocks audio naturally, so the game is never silent by mistake.
03.3
No store review, but more browsers
Going live does not depend on a store approval, and updates appear as soon as we redeploy. The trade-off is testing across Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox on different devices.
03.4
Brand games without gambling mechanics
Campaign games often end with a sign-up or a link to a product. We keep them skill-based and clear, with no games of chance, betting or paid entries.
03.5
Porting a Unity game
If you already have a Unity game and want a browser version, we can port it, reworking input, memory settings and file size. Mobile-first projects may suit our 2D mobile game page better, and existing slow builds can go through game optimisation.
CHAPTER 04
Timelines and what affects cost
We confirm timelines in your written quote after the free consultation. The main factors are:
- 2D or 3D, and the amount of art and animation.
- Engine choice, since a custom Three.js build differs from a Unity WebGL port.
- Number of levels or scenes
- Integrationssuch as sign-up forms, CRM connections or login.
- Campaign deadline, because a fixed launch date shapes how the work is planned.

The starting price for games is shown on the parent service page, and your final figure is fixed in writing before work starts.

Are browser games a good choice for a brand campaign?
A short game that opens from an ad, a QR code or a message can do what a banner cannot: hold attention for a few minutes. Here is when it is worth it.

FAQ
WebGL and Browser Games: questions people ask
What is the difference between HTML5, WebGL and WebAssembly games?
HTML5 is the umbrella term for games that run in a browser without plugins. WebGL is the browser technology that draws 2D and 3D graphics using the graphics chip. WebAssembly lets code compiled from languages such as C# or C++ run in the browser at near-native speed, which is how Unity WebGL builds work.
Should we use Three.js, PlayCanvas or Unity WebGL?
Three.js suits custom 3D scenes and product-style experiences built by web developers. PlayCanvas is a game engine made for the browser and produces small, fast builds. Unity WebGL suits teams that also want mobile versions from the same project, though its builds are larger. We recommend one after hearing your idea, devices and file-size target.
How small can a browser game be?
It depends on the art and engine. A simple 2D campaign game can often be kept very small, while a Unity 3D game will be larger. We set a file-size target at the start and use compressed textures, Brotli compression and staged loading, so players see something on screen quickly and the rest loads while they start playing.
Do browser games work on iPhones?
Yes, through Safari, but iPhones have tighter memory limits for web pages and handle audio, full-screen mode and orientation differently from Android. We test on real iPhones throughout the build, not only at the end, and design the game to stay within those limits so it does not reload or crash mid-play.
Can we put the game on our own website?
Yes. We can deliver it as its own page, a section of your existing site, or an embed that sits in an iframe. We set up the hosting with the correct compression and caching so it loads quickly, and the game files are yours to host wherever you like once the project is fully paid.
Can a brand game collect sign-ups or link to our shop?
Yes. The game can end with a call to action, link to a product page or show a short form connected to your email or CRM tool. We keep any data collection clear and consent-based, and we follow your privacy policy. We do not build gambling-style mechanics, paid entries or games of chance.
