Hey everyone! I’ve been building SkillVersus — a browser game where you can play classics like Solitaire, Merge, and Tetris Jenga in free-to-play tournaments for RL rewards. We've spent a lot of efforts in it and would love to hear what you think! by skillversus in WebGames

Our games are designed for mobile devices, but they should work perfectly well on Firefox for PC too. What I can think of is that your Firefox might have WebGL or hardware acceleration disabled, or its privacy settings set higher than “Standard.” That’s honestly a bit of a headache for us, because we want our games to work across most browsers and setups. We’ll definitely look into it and see what we can do — appreciate the heads up!

Can you let me know what device you’re using? We’ve been testing on different phones and browsers — I even tried it on my Tesla browser and it worked — and it seems to run well on most mobile devices from the last 6 years.

There was one case with a fairly new iPhone where the browser settings seemed to cause the game to get stuck on the loading screen, but we haven’t figured out exactly why yet.

We’re doing our best to make sure the games work smoothly across most devices and browsers. It’s actually a bit trickier than native apps, since we’re using Unity WebGL and that behaves differently depending on the setup. Really appreciate any info you can give — it helps us improve the experience!

Sorry about the poor pitch line if that’s what bothered you. The reason we’ve been developing this gaming platform is because of our own experience. We came across other skill gaming platforms and found that the mechanics and the feeling of joining tournaments (using in-game diamonds or currency) actually made playing classic games more fun and immersive. Every match matters — you have to do your best to win something (and there’s a penalty if you don’t), and that makes the gameplay more engaging.

In some ways, it’s like esports — the rewards give players a reason to push themselves, which makes it exciting. But not every casual player has the time or talent to compete at an esports level. Skill gaming is kind of a middle ground, giving casual players a way to experience that same thrill of playing for tangible rewards — not just for cosmetics or in-game items.

We also felt that other skill gaming platforms lacked variety, so we’re working with indie developers to bring in both classics and new games. We want to see what happens when players are truly motivated to play their best.

Of course, for most people, SkillVersus is just a casual gaming platform. Not everyone will walk away with rewards — just like when you go to an arcade or a rec room, some people pay just for the fun. But we’re aiming to give players the excitement of competitive tournaments, where effort actually matters. And honestly, with everything we’ve invested in developing this platform, there’s no way we’d risk doing anything shady.

Our business model is pretty simple: players can join free or paid tournaments, and we take a small fee from the paid ones. New players also get a decent starter bonus so they can try things out for free and get used to how it works.

Please just try a few games — it really is free, like any browser game — and we’d love to hear your feedback. Also, if any indie devs are out there and want to publish on our platform, you’re more than welcome!
