Looking for a free easy, competitive and online game to play on free time (steam not an option) (self.games)

Hi I am looking for a **free ** game with simple mechanics, competitive and online is a plus. plus suggest games that don't require steam, I don't want to install that software

I used to play vanis.io but people spoiled it by playing in teams while I like playing solo, while other games of the genre (slither, agar, paper.io) couldn't stick with them

I played mindustry, and wasted tens of hours, until I found out That I was playing campaigns without having unlocked enough research to beat the master, the game didn't have the right mechanisms to orient me to the winnable campaigns, and I ended hating it for that.

I am a simple guy looking for a simple game to distress (not candy crush simple)

Crawl stone soup is a classic style rogue like you can play in the browser. It has depths (that's a pun you'll see if you get far in it), but a minotaur berserker is pretty straight forward.

There are tournaments every so often where you can compete with the community for high scores and winning different combinations. You can also play offline if you prefer. It's single player aside from this aspect, and meeting computer controlled ghosts of other players.
