Pick a game in 3 questions
Tell the picker how long the break is, what is under your hands and what kind of run you want. It compares your 3 answers with the facts on the 6 cards and shows which games fit.

How the picker decides
Each game carries 3 short lists taken from its fact card: the break lengths it fits, the inputs it accepts and the kind of run it offers. A game that matches all 3 of your answers is shown. If none does, you get the games that match 2, and the picker says so.
Length of the break
2 minutes rules out Rally Point 5, whose first stage has a target time of 3:15. The other 5 fit any break: our Retro Highway runs and our Breakoid attempt were over in well under a minute.
Keyboard, mouse or touch screen
Keyboard fits 5 of the 6; Breakoid is steered with the mouse alone. "Mouse or trackpad only" leaves Breakoid and Pinball Mania, whose page lists the mouse buttons for the flippers. "Phone or tablet" leaves the 4 games that a host lists for touch screens: Super Fowlst, Breakoid, Retro Highway and Pinball Mania. We tested none of them on a phone, as the FAQ explains.
Kind of run
Speed is Rally Point 5, Retro Highway or Super Fowlst, whose chicken hops and flaps without a pause. A score to beat means Pinball Mania or the Endless Mode of Breakoid. Hard on purpose covers QWOP, where falling is most of the game.
