One Button Games Explored

An Anonymous Reader wrote: "Gamasutra has published an article about the possibilities available when only one button is used in games. It has some simple, fun Flash examples embedded in it and focuses on basic game theory in a way I've not seen before. It loses some punch towards the end but still provides a number of insights and some interesting ideas."

For XBOX

Fusion Frenzy or whatever it was for XBOX used a lot of these, and they were FUN, especially for games when you have people over, and are just looking for fun with a small learning curve.

This is where Flash games excel

Pick any of these:

Boat Rider

Lightning Pool

Wolf n Swine

Just so long as the developers understand that Flash games are at their best when the game mechanics are kept simple. That doesn't mean that the game itself has to be simple, there's still room for complexity and depth. Please, flash developers, no more multiplayer games - they just don't work

Enjoy :)

there's plenty of one button games available here, thanks to a competition run by retro remakes a month or so ago

My first (and perhaps only) relevant post (ever)
