Free 3D games

What are 3D browser games

A 3D game puts you inside a world you can see from any angle. Instead of a flat screen of sprites, you drive, run, sled and fight through levels with depth, so the camera follows you round bends, over ramps and across arenas. For a long time that meant a download, but these games are built to run straight in a web browser.

The 3D games on Kiloo cover racing, sledding, fighting, a party obstacle course, a tank arena, a lane battle and a slicing game. Most are short-round games: a race, a three-minute match or a single run that you can finish in a break. Seven of them are Kiloo's own and run on the site, against computer rivals. Bullet Bonanza and Fields of Fury are online multiplayer shooters where you play against other people. So is Warbands, a team shooter of its own.

3D games to start with

If you want something easy to pick up, Snow Rider is an endless sled run down a moonlit mountain: steer round the trees and snowmen, jump the stumps and logs, and spend the gifts you collect on new sleds, from a Red Racer to a bathtub. Smash Champs - Sliced turns the Smash Champs arenas into a slicing game, where you swipe through the balls, leave the bombs alone and travel from arena to arena. Monster Party Rush lines up forty monsters on an obstacle course, and you run, jump and dive past sweepers and pistons to finish in the top 24.

For racing and battles, Rocket Racers puts four cars on eight tracks, with missiles, mines and nitro in the crates and new cars and paint to earn. Tank Headz is a three-minute free-for-all for four cartoon tanks on a sunny island, with power shots and gadgets on the pads. Smash Champs Arena is a one-on-one fighting game with six champs, light and heavy hits, dodges and a three-level super. Kingdom Clash is calmer to start: you place six unit cards as buildings, and each one keeps sending its unit down the lane towards the enemy castle.

If you want to play against other people, Bullet Bonanza is an online multiplayer shooter with funky animal characters, and Fields of Fury is a Second World War capture-the-flag shooter where you choose a role. Warbands is a team shooter of its own, with loadouts and a soldier you kit out yourself.

Controls and devices for 3D games

On a computer most of these games use WASD or the arrow keys to move and Space to jump. The three shooters add the mouse to aim and shoot, R to reload and Esc to release the mouse cursor. Rocket Racers uses Space to fire an item, Smash Champs Arena puts its attacks on the keys 1 to 4 and also works with a gamepad, and Kingdom Clash and Smash Champs - Sliced are played with the mouse.

On a phone or tablet, Tank Headz and Monster Party Rush give you a thumb stick and buttons, Snow Rider steers when you hold the left or right half of the screen, Rocket Racers has steering arrows, pedals and a FIRE button, and Sliced is a swipe of a finger. Hold the phone sideways for Smash Champs Arena and Fields of Fury, which gives you a thumb stick, a fire button and a drag to look around. Warbands is held sideways too, with on-screen buttons to aim, jump, crouch and reload.
