I’ll go for something more simple, but that you still can spend hours on.
Tetris. Jstris if you want a minimalistic version and Tetr.io if you want something more polished.
I also like to play minesweeper, minesweeper.online is the best one I’ve found. I especially like the no-guessing mode which makes the game a lot less frustrating.
Oh boy, unfortunately most Flash games aren’t playable on the web yet, else I’d be name-dropping like 200 games.
Everyone has to play Sonny 2 at some point. It’s a genuine masterpiece of turn based RPGs despite being a 14 year old flash game. The atmosphere is amazing. The music is banging. The build variety is immense.
It’s a semi-idle clicker game, ala Cookie Clicker, but a bit more interactive and very cool. There is a definitive end to it which is nice for this type of game.
Looks like someone else already got to this before I did, but +1 to trying it out.
Oh yes. I’ve played quite a few idler-like games, and I hate ones that just go on forever, or for an excessively long time. A good idler, to me, has more mechanics than just spam clicking and incrementing numbers (even though it should incorporate these as core mechanics) and has something that sets it apart from the others, whether that be novel mechanics or some sort of story.
I sometimes think back to this game. I like that the theme it is going for is not always consistently the same. I don’t think any other idle clicker has actually given me things to think about like this one did.
slither.io 🐍 Become the longest snek in the multiplayer pit by tripping up other players and feasting on the dead – until the inevitable moment when the same happens to you. Nothing like thinking you’re the very biggest, only to discover you’ve slowly been completely encircled by a much, much bigger snake and no amount of coiling is going to change the outcome.

In this vein, sudokuslam.com is cool too
Oh man, we used to occupy the computers in the school library playing achtung die kurve! Multiplayer snake, with powerups. Great times!
The modern online versions, Curve Fever and Curve Crash are still alive!
Line Rider was awesome!
Super auto pets
Quick plug for the Lemmy community for it, hopefully we can get some more people involved:

Is there also a browser based version? I’ve only seen/played it on steam/PC and mobile
Yep. Browser is also where you can play the beta patch when it’s going on and you can play as a guest.
Browser version is on itch.io
Paper.io is fantastic

All the blue elephant games like This is the only level and Achievement Unlocked are also classics. Many of them don’t work on Ruffle yet though.
No-one has to die is a story-driven choose your own adventure that’s surprisingly good.
I could go on and on but for a start you should all try these!
You can use ruffle to play flash games. ActionScript 2 support is pretty good. ActionScript 3 is kinda hit or miss.
Yeah, the links I’ve posted are Ruffle-powered.
Board Game Arena is fantastic and constantly getting new games.

Universal Paperclips, epic game highly recommended but expect to lose hours of your time.
Was a surprisingly fun way to tank my productivity on Monday.
Honestly, the fact that you mentioned it having a definite end was a huge factor in making me click on that link.

I second this suggestion, one of those games where the less you know about it the better
Survive.IO is the only one I have bookmarked. It’s basically top-down, 2D PUBG.
I have also liked almost everything on AdultSwim.com; but it’s been a long time since I’ve been there. My favorite was 5 Minutes to Kill Yourself.

why have you done this to me
Minor spoilers but… this is my favorite clicker game because it has an ending.
You can finish the game. And once you finish, you feel accomplished and never have to return (or you can replay if you feel like it I guess)
Different genres I guess but
Simon Tatham Puzzle Collection
Stitches (with links to more games, don’t think there’s a central site)
I love Simon Tatham’s puzzles
Not sure if you can still play in browser, but Town of Salem. Wasted so many hours on it.
