Google and SuperGiant Games have revealed that XBLA and PC indie hit Bastion is playable within the Google Chrome browser via the Chrome App Store.
If you're reading this on Chrome fire it up right now.
The tech behind the impressive technical feat is Google's Native Client which can run complex applications in-browser.
While Bastion on Steam is a 500MB+ download, the Chrome version is playable after a quick 40MB download. We just tested it out and the results are surprisingly good.
In-app purchases are enabled on the Chrome App Store -Bastion can be unlocked for $14.99.
Square Enix has also revealed that IO Interactive's PS3 and Xbox 360 action-game Mini Ninjas is also headed to the Google Chrome browser.
