Look Inside
Recently I’ve just noticed that there are already so many games developed by using HTML5 technologies, even though HTML5 still haven’t fully supported by all of the browsers. Anyway, some of these HTML5 games have really nice graphics and sound effects, as well as using very advanced HTML5 technologies such as Local Storage, canvas, WebGL, multi-player, and etc.
In fact, you could find a lot of HTML5 games on the internet nowadays. But in this post, I have listed 10 Advanced HTML5 Games which are created using very advanced and complexity HTML5 technologies. It’s hard to believe that these games are developed by using HTML5, but they are. Hope you’ll get to know what HTML5 can be done after playing these. Have FUN!

Creatures and Castles
Developed by hiive (Author)
Creatures and Castles is pretty similar to Angry Birds in terms of stages, which has many levels available and you have to clear the current level to unlock next level. But Creatures and Castles has different gameplay, your aim is to lead the hero safely to the treasure and then to the exit without letting anyone else seeing you. The game is become challenging for the deeper level, in the same time you have to minimize your footsteps in order to get higher score.

Grave Maker is a zombie genre game. You will take the role of grave digger, who has a talent for bringing the deceased back to life. Your objective is to prevent the graveyard from destroying by local townsfolk. So, use the undead you revived and fight for you, and build your own Graveyard. This game is pretty funny and creativity, the only concern of mine is the time running on the game is very slow. Since each building has different growing time, some are really cost you a lot of time to complete.
Canvas Rider
Developed by Pete and Maxime
Canvas Rider may seem to be a very simple racing game and the design also not so pretty compare to others, yet it’s far more than what it looks like. You can play different tracks designed by other players around the world or you might design your own crazy tracks and let others to play. This game was pretty challenging for me, so how about you?
