Quicksave Interactive has raised $1.3M for HTML5 social games

Quicksave Interactive, a new game studio in Helsinki, has raised $1.3 million to make HTML5-based social games that can reach users on any platform.

These are light, short, and fun apps that you can play inside a messaging or chat platform, like Facebook Messenger or Viber. HTML5 is the lingua franca of the web, and it has improved in performance over time so that game developers can now make better games based on the technology. Games built on HTML5 can potentially run on the open web as well as they can on a native app.
