One-button games
March 9, 2011
Here is a new game for iOS (you know, the platform that Proloquo2Go runs on):
It’s called Tiny Wings
I love the metaphor of having a little, sort-of impaired bird overcoming its limitations and flying with the assistance of the environment and the player.
Some other one-button games:
I really like One-Button Bob. It’s a bit of a cognitive challenge, because each level is different. But there is no penalty for messing up, so just keep trying until you win the level.
No discussion of one-button games is complete without Canabalt, the finest in one-button games… maybe ever. This isn’t a game designed for people with disabilities, this is a game designed for everyone that just happens to be played with only one button.
(Gameplay hint: don’t try to avoid all the obstacles; use them to slow yourself down.)
