Maxthon's MXPlay game portal expands its HTML5 offering with Cut The Rope and 2048

More and more mobile developers are bringing their games to the web thanks to powerful tools like HTML5, and now a popular online gaming portal is expanding to better serve those kinds of experiences to players.

Developer Maxthon, which makes the multiplatform browser of the same name for PC, smartphones, and tablets, has revealed the latest version of its MXPlay games portal. Mobile hits like Cut the Rope and 2048 represent the service’s new effort to provide casual games. MXPlay will also continue to release new HTML5-only games like the simple-looking online battler Treasure Arena and the point-and-click thriller Gods Will Be Watching. This is more evidence of HTML5 gaming’s continued growth on the web, and Maxthon is trying to play an important role in that with its gaming portal and browsers.
