The sequel experiment launched beta testing via a hybrid framework approach allowing players to test mechanics on Chrome browsers before official mobile rollout in Q1’23, effectively leveraging user testing at scale while minimizing device dependency bottlenecks.

Surely, there was chatter about why this wasn't available on Google Play Store immediately, especially considering China's strict APK sideloading policies and firewalls against overseas services. That said, the browser bridge offered a legal, compliant entry-point.

What the numbers say—and why devs need to rethink “native-first" strategies: reach matters more in regions with fragmented app ecosystems or strong anti-virus software that restrict untrusted sources.

User Behaviours Reborn: What Browses & Why They Stick Around

Unlike console gamers who plan their play sessions (often reserved for after work hours) or hardcore esports fans scheduling raids like meetings, browsers game users play when bored during commutes, lunchtime scrolling or late-night snack-binge mode on their desktops.

          Casual clicker / endless games → average session ~5–9 mins, avg 2x/day.
        
        RPG-style text browser adventures → longer but irregular usage patterns (~3–14 mins over span 1x per week).
