How to retrieve backed-up game data from iCloud after reinstalling a game?

Question

I deleted a game from my iPad and was wondering if i could retrieve the data somehow, because the game was backed up on iCloud and when i reinstalled it all my data was gone. How do i retrieve the data specifically for this app from iCloud.

According to the Apple Support topic on the subject, your only option is to restore your entire phone from a recent backup.

The article does not explicitly report that there is not a way to selectively restore data, but it does explicitly state the way in which data is restored to a phone--all at once from a backup.
