There is no official polygon limit for WebGL browser games. The practical budget is set by download size limits on portals, mobile GPU memory, and draw call counts – not a fixed triangle number. Test on a mid-range mobile browser and cut geometry until it loads and runs smoothly there.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s no official polygon-count spec for WebGL games – the API itself just draws triangles through the browser’s canvas element and doesn’t cap how many. The real budget is set by three things: total download size, mobile GPU\/memory limits, and draw call count. As a working rule, keep hero characters in the low thousands of triangles and background props much lower, then test on an actual mid-range phone browser – that’s usually the tightest constraint, not desktop.<\/p>\n
