Casual gaming platform announced by Google

Area 120, a project lab under Google, has announced GameSnacks, a casual gaming platform that aims to make HTML5 games easier to play on smartphones connected to any network around the world.

Facebook has released Facebook Gaming, where you can enjoy casual games. Game Snacks has also put together games that can be easily enjoyed during a niche period as a service that is a counter-attack. However, general web games also take a long time to load on low-end terminals because many of the lines used in emerging countries are slow. In this regard, the game in GameSnax is said to be able to be loaded in seconds even on a device that connects to a network slower than 1Mbps and has only 1GB of RAM.

In addition, all titles support mouse or keyboard operation in addition to touch. What you can enjoy casually not only on smartphones but also on PC browsers. In addition to dispatch services in Southeast Asia such as Indonesia, Game Snacks can be used within the app by partnering with Gojek, an app that can deliver groceries and pay utility bills.

The game itself was not created by Google, but was affiliated with the existing HTML5 game developer. Google recommends registering Game Snacks to developers, so more games are expected to be added in the future. Related information can be found here .
