2000s Browser Games

The decade browser and mobile games grew up, and the one whose mechanics you probably still recognize. Lane defence, swapping three in a row, and toppling things with physics all found their final shape here. Garden Siege is lane defense, banking sun to plant across five rows. Fling Siege is the slingshot physics game, toppling wobbly fortresses onto the things hiding inside them. Gemswap is the original swap-two-to-line-up-three, the template for a thousand games that followed. These are free and instant, which is roughly how they were meant to be played in the first place.
