One-Handed Gameplay
CONCEPT
Games that can be played with one hand, typically using only half of a standard controller or only the mouse/keyboard.


Overview

This concept is for games that are designed to be playable using only one hand. However, this excludes games that can be somewhat played with one hand by skilled players.

Examples

  • Suikoden III (Game) has a specific control set that lets you play one-handed. One shoulder button on the left to "Okay" and the other shoulder button on the left to "Cancel", and select to the menu. The D-pad is used to navigate around.
  • Most point-and-click adventures are controlled just by using the mouse. For example, the Monkey Islandseries, to name one of many.
  • Some iphone games that only require one finger to play such as Orbital where players must tap the touch screen at the right time to fire a ball.
