What is Krunker?
Krunker (Krunker.io) is a fast, pixel-styled first-person shooter that runs straight in your web browser. It was created by Sidney de Vries and has been owned by the browser games company FRVR since 2022, with the original team still running it.
You pick a class such as Triggerman, Hunter or Rocketeer, drop into a public match and fight other players on small arenas. Movement is a big part of the game: sliding, bunny hopping and quick strafing let good players cross maps very quickly. Matches are short, so it works well for a few minutes of play.
