Flash to HTML5 Game Conversion Services

Looking to Convert Your Old Flash Games to Mobile Compatible HTML5?

Now that the web based Adobe Flash player has reached its end of life, you need to convert your old Flash games if you want to keep them.

Help future proof your content, making it compatible with a huge range of modern devices, by converting it to HTML5.

We're a highly experienced, UK based HTML5 game developer who can convert anything from a single game right through to an entire catalogue of games.

Don't We Need the Original Flash Files and AS3 Code?

We don't usually need the original source files or ActionScript source code to do a Flash to HTML5 conversion, just a playable swf build of the old Flash game.

We'll write new Javascript code from scratch. We also usually recommend revisiting game assets and ideally recreating artwork/animations and audio from scratch as part of the game conversion anyway. This can give your HTML5 game conversion a more polished, modern look, especially if your games are looking a bit dated.

Because mobile compatibility means catering for touch screens, in many case some rethinking on the gameplay design/controls is necessary when we convert Flash to HTML5.

What Types of Games Can You Convert?

We specialise in producing branded and serious games for business applications. So if you want to convert these types of Flash games to HTML5, you're in safe hands. Just some of the types of games you should consider converting are:

Games for Marketing

Any web based marketing content that's Adobe Flash based and you want to keep using should be converted to HTML5.

We're one of UK's leading specialists in producing branded online games, with over a decade of experience creating games to help promote brands, products and services.

So whether you want to convert just one branded game, or a whole catalogue, we've got it covered. We're totally comfortable working to the strictest of brand guidelines while producing visuals. So if you want to completely update brand visuals while creating the new version of your game, we can help with that too.

Serious Games

Any serious online games such as training and educational web games should be converted.

Again, it's probably also a good opportunity to look at updating the material and refreshing visuals when we convert your game.

We can also look at reviewing current learning objectives for your courses and expanding, revising and updating the content to better meet your current goals.

What is Involved in Converting Flash Games to HTML5?

The Flash to HTML5 game conversion process starts by taking a look at the existing Flash game. From here we can produce a spec and plan for the new version of your game.

Doing a direct 1:1 conversion of your Flash game isn't usually a good idea. So we do everything by hand. When converting Flash games, we don't use an HTML5 converter, automated scripts or ActionScript code conversion tools, but write new JavaScript code by hand.

We can also create new assets where necessary as part of game conversion, including artwork, animation and sound. This ensures you get the best possible end product. In most cases the HTML5 conversion of your game will be noticably better than the original Flash game.

Making your new HTML5 game conversion fully compatible with mobile devices usually requires a rethink on controls and possibly game mechanics. Otherwise it won't work well (if at all) on mobile touch screens. So we can advise you on that and do any game redesign work as well.

Then there's the different screen sizes you're going to want to support for cross-device compatibility. We can update game designs and layouts to use responsive design. This will make the new version work well and look great across different screen sizes and aspect ratios.

Once we've nailed all of that down we'll be able to get to work on converting your Flash game.

We also handle full testing/QA, including making sure your game works across a range of devices (including smartphones, tablets and desktop computers) and popular web browsers (including Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and more).
