Frequently asked questions – browser games
What are browser games?
Browser games are video games that run directly in a web browser, without requiring downloads or installation. They’re usually built with web technologies like HTML5, JavaScript, WebGL, and formerly Flash, and range from simple puzzles to complex multiplayer games. You can play them on most devices with internet access.
Are browser games free to play?
FRVR games are free to play. In fact, many browser games are free-to-play, supported by other sources, such as ads, in-game purchases, or premium upgrades. Some games may offer additional features or content for a fee, but the base experience is often accessible without any cost. It’s best practice to always check the terms before playing.
Do I need to create an account to play browser games?
Not always and not on FRVR. Many browser games let you play instantly without registration. However, creating an account can unlock features like saving progress, customizing avatars, or competing on leaderboards. For instance, multiplayer and social features will often require a registered account. Watch this space, as we’ll have some news in this area soon,
Are browser games safe to play?
Most well-known browser games are safe, but it’s important to stick to trusted websites. Avoid games that ask for excessive permissions or try to download files. Use antivirus protection and never share personal information unless you’re sure the site is secure.
Frequently asked questions – technical
What technologies power browser games?
Most modern browser games use HTML5, JavaScript, and WebGL, replacing the popular old Flash tech. These standards allow rich visuals, sound, and interactivity directly in the browser, with no plugins needed. Some engine tools like Construct 3 or Cocos make development easier.
Can I mod or customize browser games?
Yes, you often can, but not here on FRVR. For HTML5 games, you can view source code (e.g. main.js), inspect assets, and experiment. This makes them accessible for hobbyists to tweak or learn from. However, you often can’t directly mod established features of a browser game.
Do browser games work across different devices?
Yes. FRVR games can be played on IOs, Android and on our dedicated app. Eventually, when w login, progress can sync across devices.
Can browser games be played offline?
Most browser games require a stable internet connection. A few use cached resources, but connectivity is generally needed for loading, accessing assets, multiplayer, or saving progress.
