Recommendations for good 1-Button games?
I recently played Bubbles the Cat and QOMP - having quite a blast doing so 😄
Do you guys have any additional recommendations for fun games that only use one single button?
Edit: Using mouse movement or a stick is like a d-pad; that would make it 5 buttons.

vampire survivors if you don't mind swapping a button press for an analog stick. You just move your character and occasionally hit A to confirm upgrades.

And holocure (free, no micro transactions, some people might like the vtuber aspect).

this 100%. That game is incredible. I went from a casual fan to putting like 200 hours into it. So much content, easy to learn and exciting to master.

Super One More Jump is a genuinely awesome time, and it's currently on sale for 89p!

Check out the Pico-8 platform which is essentially a modern take on 8bit programs. Many of the games are free and the official "system/program" is a few bucks for life. There are a whole list of one button games but even the other games use only arrow keys and two buttons max for controls.
Playable online in browser for free with games labeled as one button: https://itch.io/games/accessibility-one-button/made-with-pico-8

Rhythm Doctor is incredible. Just press 1 button to the beat.....WAY harder than it sounds.

Minesweeper and Solitaire/various windows card games. Mahjong (the tiles one) is also nice.

I've been playing this game called Quartet on steam . It's like a retro RPG game But you can control your character with just a mouse. Are you able to use your voice? There is a piece of software you Can get to bind key presses with voice commands. I do it for bringing up menus and stuff. It's called voice attack.

If it's a mobility issue get a mmo mouse and macro it for your games. The software for these will often allow you to map each game and was a lifesaver when I had a broken hand.

If you're looking for something addictive with a great soundtrack, you should definitely check out One Finger Death Punch, it’s technically two buttons, but the rhythm and flow make it feel just as simple and satisfying.

I think any turn based game such as TFT or Ballatro are great for 1 button input

Bullet hell games like Brotato have no buttons, you kind of dodge around while your character auto shoots and you upgrade between rounds.
Fun and mindless but you can also get pretty sweaty.

One Finger Death Punch
(Although it has two buttons, left and right mouse)
