Heads up! This blog post hasn't been updated in over 2 years. CodePen is an ever changing place, so if this post references features, you're probably better off checking the docs. Get in touch with support if you have further questions.

There is loads of game experimentation happening on CodePen. I love that. People figuring out spriting techniques. People exploring gaming frameworks. People investigating gaming mechanics and physics. There are also some full-fledged games like Snake, Mine Sweeper, Flappy Bird clones, and Connect Four.

But then there are some really unique stand-out games that are as fun as anything I have installed on my phone! Here’s a few:

David DeSandro’s Cub n Pup

Setup Draw’s faithful replication of Asteroids

Nathan Taylor’s Platform Game

It’s just an interesting detail that it’s done entirely in HTML and CSS. The game itself is quite fun!
