Skill Games
Improving your general skills and abilities is something that children and adults alike should be striving for all the time, but, if you are a young person, the chances are quite high that you would rather improve your skills through playing games, and when you can’t go outside to play them, you can do it here, online. Any category on our website is the best possible version you could find on any other site, so there should not be anywhere else you go to play the best ability games on the internet.
These games improve your skills with the mouse, helping you become faster in using it, as well as more precise. Other skills that they improve are your concentration and focus, since they are required for you to clear all the levels, as well as your observation abilities, and even how good you are at solving puzzles. They feature cars, fish, your favorite characters from Minecraft or the cartoons you watch, knives, fruits, animals, and plenty more elements for you to love and enjoy.
We will now give you more details on the most popular formats that you can find and enjoy here for free, and we’re sure that after you get the bigger picture of what this page has to offer, you won’t be wasting any time at all, but start to play the wonderful skills games here, and have fun from the first moment you do!
Jumping is an action that requires a lot of concentration, focus, and plenty of ability, which is why most jump games can be found on this page. Sometimes you jump from platform to platform, other times you jump from one cloud to another, or different other items. You can even jump from one side of a tunnel to another, trying to reach the surface. You usually use the arrow keys to make the jumps, but sometimes you can use the mouse. Also, sometimes, you have to be careful of the platforms, as they can fall, crumble, or have traps on them that you need to avoid. In some games, you are doing parkour, and jumping from one building to another so that you don’t fall between them.
Avoiding obstacles in your path, or other traps is something that requires skill, as well as reflexes, which is why avoid games are quite popular in this category. In many of our games, you use the mouse to move your item and move it around the field, avoiding things that are thrown towards you, because if they hit you, you lose. You can be in space, for example, where you have to move a spaceship in such a way that you avoid any asteroids that you might encounter.
The word Arkanoid comes from the word arcade, and that is because these games used to be played primarily in arcades, after which they had been made available on handheld consoles as well. In these games, sometimes also called bricks and paddles games, you have a paddle that you move at the bottom of the screen, with which you hit the ball so that you hit the bricks at the top until you get rid of them all. You have to make sure not to lose your ball three times, or you have to start all over again.
Endless running games have been made really popular thanks to mobile games and apps such as Subway Surfers, Temple Runner, or Sonic Dash. You usually have a character, but sometimes you can have things like balls, or geometrical shapes, such as in the highly-popular Geometry Dash Games series. You use the arrows on the keyboard or the controls on your phone to run forward, avoiding any obstacles in your path, and trying to reach a distance as big as possible, because you can advance as farther as you want to if you don’t hit anything in your path. You usually also have to collect things like jewels or coins for points.
We might have mentioned this before, but the Puzzle Games and Skill Games categories often come together in a lot of games, since you have to solve puzzles by using your skills. One prime example of this is Angry Birds Games or any other cannon shooting games you can think of. You usually have to shoot balls or other projectiles from a cannon or a device, hitting the targets to knock them all down, because only then you clear the level. The more you advance, each new level will bring more items for you to knock down or hit, but always, the number of shots is limited.
Most of the ability games here require you to use your mouse, so this sub-category would include almost all of them, but we are mostly referring here to popping games. In these games, you have certain items that appear on the screen, and you have to click on them to pop or eliminate them, gaining points in return. They can be balloons, sugar cubes, or icons showing your favorite characters from different shows. Very similar we’ve got Fruit Ninja-like games, which are swiping games. Items are thrown in the air, and you have to use your mouse to swipe through them to cut them down, getting points in return each time you do it.
Clicking games online are as much about your skills with the mouse as-is about endurance. In them, you usually have to be a fast clicker, so that you can click as much as possible on an item to produce resources, money, or coins, different currencies that you can use to buy upgrades. Upgrading your equipment for clicking means that with each new click you get more rewards, and you have to keep clicking and upgrading, trying to see how big of a score you can get, and compare it to that of players all over the world.
These are already classic games that had been around for a long time, so we know you love them dearly. In them, items are falling from the top of the screen, and you move the mouse to catch them, while some you have to avoid. For example, you have to help Applejack, who is a farmer pony from My Little Pony, grab the apples falling from the trees while avoiding anything that is not an apple. Or, you might be helping Scooby-Doo catch ingredients for a sandwich that are falling, putting them on top of one another, while avoiding the food he doesn’t like. Sounds fun, no?
Flappy Bird is an original video game for mobile apps that took the world by surprise a few years ago, and it was such a big hit that lots of replicas have been made over time, with the format growing year after year. In them, you have a bird you control, although it can be other animals or characters from your favorite shows or movies. You tap on the screen to keep the character jumping, making sure to avoid hitting the tubes at the top and bottom, making your clicks in such a way that you advance as further as possible to increase your score.
Handling a bow and arrow requires skills and precision, even online, not just not in real life, so if you’re not ready to take an archery course, playing online arrow shooting games is the next best thing. You have to use your mouse to aim and shoot your arrows at your targets, and you have to be precise and set the right angle and power to achieve this goal, with each new level presenting a target at a more difficult place for you to shoot, thus improving your shooting abilities.
Throwing knives around and playing with them is not something we recommend you do in real life since it can be harmful, as it is very dangerous and you can’t get hurt. Still, you can’t get hurt when playing our online games with knives, where you are encouraged to throw them. You usually have targets in which you have to shoot the knives in, and sometimes they are moving. For example, in some games, the target is rotating, and you need to shoot multiple knives in it while avoiding hitting the other knives already stuck in.
Snake is the classic game that everyone used to have on their mobile phones more than a decade ago, and it has made quite a good transition to the online world. You control a snake that you have to move around without hitting the sides of the screen while collecting fruit or other items to increase in size and gain points, and the bigger you get, the more careful you have to be how you move around, so you don’t end up eating yourself and losing the game.
We’ve already got a category dedicated to bubble games online and Zuma Games, but they still deserve a mention here, since concentration and skills with the mouse are the main things you need in them. There are bubbles that you have to shoot with other bubbles of the same color so that three of the same kind can be eliminated before they can reach the bottom of the screen, or enter the hole at the center of the road.
Music requires timing, skill, and concentration, so of course, music games would be featured quite heavily in this category. The best example of them is the Guitar Hero-like Games. You usually have different strings, each represented by a different color, with items of the same color approaching them according to the song. You have to tap the symbols or hit the keys on the keyboard at the right time to play the song accordingly, getting points in return, but losing if you don’t keep up with the song.
This is another type of game that is considered a classic, and it is still as fun as ever. In these games, pieces of a tower are hovering to the left and right, or they come from the top of the screen, and you have to click at the right time to place them over the other pieces of the tower. Make sure that you drop them at the correct moment because if the tower is not stable and even one piece of it falls, you lose and have to start from scratch.
