About One Button Games
One-button games use a single input for everything: tap to jump, hold to charge, release to fire. With only one thing to press, the game is about when, not what, and timing becomes the whole skill.
The simplicity is deceptive. Removing choices makes the remaining choice sharper, and a one-button game can be as demanding as anything with a full keyboard once the pace rises. It also means there is nothing to learn before you start; the first tap is the tutorial.
Because a single input is all it takes, these work on any device without adjustment: a thumb on a phone, a space bar on a laptop, a gamepad button on a television. They are the easiest games on the site to hand to someone who has never played.
