Remember the golden age of Flash games? For a while, it seemed like mobile apps had killed the browser game star. But in 2026, we are seeing a massive resurgence. Why?
To play a modern AAA game, you need to buy a console, buy the game, and then download a 100GB patch. To play a mobile game, you have to go to the app store, authenticate, download, and install. To play a browser game like Duckov Explorer, you just click a link. In an attention economy, zero friction wins.
WebGPU and WebAssembly have changed the game. We can now run near-native performance code in a sandbox. The gap between "web game" and "native game" is blurring every day.
Developers are tired of maintaining separate codebases for iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS. The web is the only true universal platform. Write once, run everywhere (mostly).
We believe the future of casual gaming is in the URL bar, not the app drawer.
