One Button Games

One button games show that simple controls can be a lot of fun. With just one tap, you can jump over buildings in Canabalt, fly through pipes in Flappy Bird, or go deep underground in Downwell. Everything is done with one thumb, so anyone can start playing right away.
This idea has been around for a long time. Early arcade games and handheld toys had only a few buttons, so game makers found ways to make those simple actions exciting. Later, playing games online or on phones brought this style back, proving that easy controls can still make games exciting.
Today, one button games include endless runners, rhythm games, quick puzzle tests, and even story-based games. Each type uses timing, how long you hold the button, or other tricks to add new challenges. These games are simple to start but hard to master, keeping you coming back for better scores.
Because there's only one button, these games are also great for players with limited mobility. Whether you want a quick game during a short break or aim for a new high score, one button is all you need.
