How to get the most out of them

When playing browser-based action games, your input device makes a huge difference. If you are on a desktop, make sure your mouse sensitivity is dialed into a comfortable spot, especially for precision titles or fast-flicking games. Playing on a trackpad is usually a quick path to frustration, so plug in a real mouse if you want to set any high scores and maintain your combo streaks.

Also, pay attention to the scaling of your browser window. Sometimes playing in full-screen mode gives you the best view of incoming obstacles, while a smaller window might actually help minimize the distance your cursor needs to travel. Experiment with your setup, close those heavy background tabs to ensure a smooth frame rate, and jump right into the action.
