What an H5 game is

An H5 game is built with HTML5, JavaScript and the browser canvas instead of a native app or a plugin. It runs on anything with a modern browser, loads in a second or two, and needs no install or store account. Every game on this site is a small set of static files, which is why they open instantly even on a slow connection.

Two of them, Underrun and Space Huggers, were built for js13k, a competition where the entire game has to fit inside thirteen kilobytes. They are a fair demonstration of how little code a good game actually needs.

Why the catalogue is short

A game is only listed here if its licence permits hosting, it runs from static files with no server of its own, and it is worth a second round. That rules out most of what gets published as a browser game and leaves a handful of classics, a few competition entries and some well known open source rewrites.

Nothing is rebranded or wrapped in an interstitial. Authors, source repositories and licences are all listed on the credits page, and each game folder keeps the licence file it shipped with.
