Best one finger or one touch games?

[Rixx]

I've been impressed by the sheer simplicity of Canabalt.

What are some worthy games that only need one finger press (like Canabalt) or just use one finger to control the games (like Ion Charge?)

I guess we could also include one-handed games that also use the accelerometer like Doodle Jump, and Touch Lander. (though I'm not sure you can play Doodle Jump one-handed and shoot the baddies...can you?)


Single Press
=========
Canabalt
iCopter (and variants)

One Finger(or Thumb)
========
Ion Charge
Orbital
Galcon/Galcon Labs
Arachnadoodle
Card Ninja
Mazefinger
Tetris

UnBlock Me
Pathpix
Chop chop ninja
Most turn based strategy like Uniwar, Battle for Wesnoth, etc
Mr AahH!

One Handed

Touch Lander

Thanks!

[eddieg]

Some great games already listed...

I've been loving Drop7 lately & Pathpix for some casual one handed play
And of course...Gotta love Doodle Jump :D

[jak56]

I'd say canabalt and aqua globs. Chop chop ninja is also good
and yes it is possibleto play with one finger.

Doodle jump is also great, I keep comic back to it and o don't HHS to exercise any fingers!

I forgot about strategy games! Xeno wars and 2012 aliens vs zombies are my personal favourite. Xeno wars is cool because it's actually a hybrid of match 3 and strAtegy which works surprisingly well
and 2102 Z vs A is great because it actually
does require a certain amount of strategy yet is still fun for casual gamers. The amazing art style is also a plus.

[kohjingyu]

Hook Champ. Well sorta. You can play Doodle Jump without any fingers too. Maybe your toes or something.

I think you mean one hand.

[derek420]

Doodle Bomb

[Random_Guy]

Tap Tap Revenge.

[FancyFactory]

Our upcoming game "Age of Tribes" is a one-finger-only game...I really love a simplified gameplay. No matter if right or left handed. There is no need for gestures or a full featured gamepad emulation.

[MidianGTX]

Tap Tap Revenge.

...so how exactly do you tap the double notes with one finger?

[010861y]

My favorites are:

Wheel of Fortune
Bejeweled 2 (Blitz)

[iFanzine]

Dunno if it's been mentioned, Angry Birds!

[Nijo]

I play BG with just my thumb (i.e. in one hand, with my thumb controlling everything).

Does that count?

[Moonmist]

Rogue Touch is 1 finger

[jak56]

he's probably one of those n00bz who plays on easy:p

Hook Champ probably could be used as a one-handed game... I thought that one was pretty good. Other than that, all of my options had already been placed on the original list.

Yeah I do too

Wonderfully simple and fairly priced.

[dumbname]

[Foozelz]

Double fail, going in the posty thread.

That was my plan all along!

[cranker]

BankShot :)

[BCWebmaster]

My votes would be for ReBounce or Flight Control....

ReBounce is newer, but it's becoming a 'must have' for competitive leaderboard style games (but still playable with one finger!)... and Flight Control is just a classic that I can always go back to.

[Stroffolino]

With practice, Pocket Boxer can be played with one finger - it doesn't rely on a virtual d-pad, and every punch/defensive technique can be executed with a single tap. I've won both gameplay modes one handed while holding a sleepy baby in my other arm.

Eco punk!!

Just found this thread and was expecting to find Slotz on every page...

[Amateurlife]

"Spirit" is a wonderful one-finger game.

[ChrisMayer]

Flight Control - so simple but soooo much fun!

[da shiz wiz 19]

Hook Champ is an astounding one finger game (if you can do it right)
