Going through this, I was introduced to <= being converted to a ligature which immediately ruled it as a nope for me. No monkey business with the characters of my code thank you very much.
It's rigged; Consolas isn't even a contender in this game, and the example text has no lowercase italic 'k's, which are its best glyph.
I remember seeing another font that I liked but I didn't manage to check what font it was before the game showed the winner. Looks like I have to play it again. Not on mobile at least, the webpage was hard to interact on Android Chrome.
The game certainly needs a progress bar (I tried on iPhone) and option “there’s no chance in world that I will ever use any of proposed options”.
Funny enough I realized that every several years I oscillate between trying to get readable narrow fonts (that brought me to Iosevka) and wide ones (Azeret Mono, anyone?)
It's amazing to me how many of the fonts in this bracket have lower-case ell and one as nearly identical (both with a line at the base and some protrusion to the left at the top).
On improvement would be to allow scalling different fonts to different sizes. With them all at (e.g.) 16pt, there is a wildly different amount of text on the screen.
Ended up with Victor Mono and indeed, I used that font for years before switching to Iosevka.

Neat. I wish the sample text included _underscores_, since I have occasionally found that they disappear with certain combinations of font + size + renderer. And a run of all the numeric digits 0123456789, to show how their heights align. And [square brackets], to show how easily they are distinguished from certain other glyphs. And the vertical | bar, for the same reason. ... Adobe Source Code Pro and Ubuntu Mono we…
