PAC-MAN Doodle replaced by Super Fowlst

From 11 November we list games from Poki and CrazyGames only. The PAC-MAN Doodle was licensed and ran on Google's own pages, the one game away from those 2 portals, so it left the site. Google still hosts it in its Doodle archive.

Rainbogeddon by Nitrome on Poki was opened first: a maze game with 40 levels for 1 or 2 players. Its title, player select and level select opened, but level 1 would not start after 4 clicks, Enter, Space and 15 seconds of waiting. It stays out until it can be played.

Super Fowlst by Thomas K. Young on Poki took the place. In about 7 minutes we went through its tutorial and into the first stage: the arrow keys hopped the chicken left and right, a demon burst on contact, and an invincibility item worked on the up arrow. Still open: how the Poki copy unlocks characters, what a whole run lasts, and whether video-advert buttons appear after the first stage.

Dino Game replaced by Breakoid

The Dino Game left the site. Poki credits it to Chrome UX, the Google team that built it, yet no source says who uploaded this copy or whether Google agreed to it. Its card had said so since the first day, and a copy with that question open is not one we want to send readers to.

The reserve we had named, Super Star Car, was opened on CrazyGames and on Poki. On CrazyGames it stayed at 0 of 39 MB for 3.5 minutes. On Poki it loaded 55 MB, and the pictures shown during loading have cars in the colours of real Formula 1 teams with sponsor names such as Acronis and Esso. No licence is stated, so it was left out, as Pinball Arcade was.

Breakoid by supernice.games on Poki took the place. Level 1: 5 of 9 blocks, then the ball got past the paddle, in under 35 seconds. Endless Mode: 560 points in under 40 seconds. The arrow keys and D did not move the paddle; the mouse did. Still open: how many levels follow the first page of 20, and what makes the paddle grow wider.

6 games opened in desktop Chromium

Rally Point 5: drove the first desert stage in the car named evader. 3 seconds on the up arrow took the dial from 0 to about 50. We left the road, and the clock passed the 3:15 target.

Retro Highway: 3 runs of 109, 78 and 77 metres, each ended by a crash. Pinball Mania: round 1 failed twice at 5 points of 10 and was cleared once at 12.

Dino Game (taken off the site on 11 November): 2 runs, scores 45 and 40. QWOP: untouched, the runner fell at 1.3 metres in 2 page loads, and our longest attempt reached 13.6 metres. The PAC-MAN Doodle (taken off the site on 11 November) was already running when its direct address loaded.

7 games opened and left out, with the reason for each

• Pinball Arcade (CrazyGames, credited to "Sandy"). Its logo reads "The Pinball Arcade", which is also the name of a commercial game by FarSight Studios. We found no source that links the two.
• Crossy Road (Poki). A prize machine hands out characters at random. Poki's own text: "spend 100 coins in the prize machine to receive a random character unlock."
• Hill Climb Racing Lite (Poki). Reward chests on the track and a video button labelled REROLL.
• Drift Hunters (CrazyGames). Free drifting for points, with no run that ends.
• Super Star Car (CrazyGames and Poki). Held in reserve on 10 November: we opened the garage and the fly-over before the race and did not drive the race. Dropped on 11 November for the real Formula 1 team colours on its cars.
• Fruit Ninja (Poki). Loaded to its title screen; its shop was not checked, because the retro places were already filled.
• Breakoid (Poki). A brick breaker that loaded its first level. Not played that day and kept as a second reserve; it joined the site on 11 November in place of the Dino Game.

Frogger on CrazyGames was read about and not opened. It is a fan remake of a Konami game.

3 places where the sources disagree

Retro Highway, the maker's name: Poki's credit line says Gearhead Games and Poki's description says Gearhead Studios. The card follows the credit line, which matches the store pages.

Retro Highway, the steering keys: Poki lists W and D with the arrows. In our check A and D steered, and W was not tried.

Rally Point 5, the year: Poki dates its copy to March 2019. The maker says the game was first built in Shockwave and gives no year, and a magazine cover in the title art reads "Januari 2016". The card uses 2019 and says what it stands for.

What we could not verify

• What the video-advert buttons in Retro Highway and Pinball Mania show. We pressed none.
• Whether a best score or unlocked tracks survive closing the tab, for the 5 portal games.
• Play on a phone, for all 6.
• Adverts as seen from the UK, and the UK wording of Poki's age rule. Our check ran from an address in Thailand.
• The end of a Rally Point 5 stage. We did not reach the finish.
