Is not a secret that iPhone applications are very user friendly and that’s why they are known to be the ones bringing joy and at the same time help us increase productivity. For many of us though, iPhone games are those elements that are challenging us in brain battles, adventures or just help us smile in a not so great day.

Lovely, fun, innovative, these are just few words to describe iPhone games, but one thing that’s making some of us go crazy is that we want to take those experiences to desktop too. Fortunately, that is completely possible thanks to HTML5 technologies. You are familiar with HTML5 from this showcase, so you know how many cool tricks it can do for you!

Angry Birds

Our all time favorite iPhone game on which we spend tons of time everyday, even if you are Android, iOS or Symbian users, everybody loves to fight against the green pigs. The mobile application as well as the HTML5 version of the game were developed by the Finnish team at Rovio. The game is 100% optimized for Google Chrome browser, but it works pretty good in Firefox too.

Angry Birds Volcano

Is a modified version of the popular iPhone game which brings our main characters, the Angry Birds in a terrifying landscape surrounded by Volcano’s and tons of new intriguing challenges. Due to the incredible popularity gathered by the game, a request for a other challenges has arrived so Rovio brought Angry Birds Volcano which can be found on the same site, but on other subdomain: fazer.angrybirds.com

Cut The Rope

Even if you see the .ie extension on their domain and makes you think about Internet Explorer, don’t worry, the game can be played on whatever modern browser you think of. The project is indeed sponsored by Internet Explorer, but it has nothing to do with it. Cut the Rope was developed by a Russian team of developers called ZeptoLab and it has rapidly become one of the most popular apps in the iTunes marketplace. In fact, Cut The Rope Game was purchased by over 3 million marketplace customers and their number is growing fast.

Doodle Jump

Is a highly addictive game available for iOS, Android, Symbian and Windows Phone 7. In this game, you have to guide “The Doodler”, a 4 legs creature through space. The interesting fact is that this Doodler jumps like a freak and he doesn’t stop. Try to guide him on a safe path and face the challenges. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find an English version of the HTML5 game so if you want to use Google Translate click here.
