I came across an interesting Infographic by the top flash games aggregator website One More Level. As such, one must take the information provided with a grain of salt.
Flash game has been synonymous to casual browser gaming for more than a decade. It’s sad that such technology is slowly being taken over by HTML5 (Adobe recently dropped support for Flash Player on Android 4.1)…victim of progress.
I tried playing some HTML5 games at TheCasualGuy. As a casual games and Flash fan, here are some of the obvious advantages of Flash over HTML5 that I can point out.
- Single file distribution
- Documentation
- Number of games
- Better animation (There’s an 12-episode anime created using Flash – Hanoka [video].)
Flash will still be here for the next three to five years. HTML5 will slowly take over as support for it grows. For the meantime, expect to see some of the best flash games that will ever be made. Flash is at its peak.

Flash games are a lot better than HTML5. It is just surprising to think that there are flash games that are 3D supported. Does that mean that you can make Flash games that use 3D concepts? It would be great if you can play those kind of games on your browser though.
