Developed on the Adobe Flash platform, flash games are a popular genre of online video games that can be played directly in the computer browser without the need for complex downloads or installs. Flash games, which come in a range of genres like action, puzzle, adventure, and simulation, are well-known for their easy-to-play, accessible gameplay. These games are particularly appealing because of their ease, are typically free, have a reasonable duration, don't require a lot of hardware, and are appropriate for players of all ages. Once a "paradise" for fans of flash games, well-known websites like Newgrounds, Miniclip, and Kongregate also served as a platform for independent creators to showcase their work. Flash games continue to endure in gamers' hearts through hosting initiatives and emulation platforms, despite Adobe discontinuing support for them in 2020. They have become an iconic aspect of the internet gaming community.
