One Button Games Explored

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."

  1. This is where Flash games excel by suttree.com · · Score: 3, Informative

    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
