Growing with Timocco - Eye-Gaze Demonstration
By Gillian
Growing with Timocco is a collection of five simple motion-controlled games in which the player controls the movements of Timocco the monkey. However, there is an option in all five games to use mouse control instead of motion, which also makes it great to play using eye-gaze. Mouse click is only needed to alter settings, start the game and move to the next level - once you're in the game, all you need to do is look!

CUBES

PC (opens in a separate window) - GraemesFreeGames.com
In CUBES you must move around different layouts of cubes, changing the colour of them from blue to yellow. When you have changed all of the cubes on a level you move onto the next. To make this harder for you there are the pesky enemies. Some will repaint your cubes others will attack you and take away one of your lives.
In the options these enemies can be turned on or off and/or their speed adjusted. The skill level required can also be changed as can the speed.

Possibilities for Eye-controlled Gaming
By Patapata
Possibilities for Eye-controlled Gaming by Patricia Walling:
For the differently abled or people looking forward to the future of video games (I’m still looking for my VR, people), the possibilities of eye-controlled gaming are dazzling to behold. However, it can often be that technology surrounding eye-controlled video gaming can be less than eye-popping. In a recent development, using a process called electrooculography, people attach electrodes to their face around their eyes for the purpose of tracking their eye movements in order to play simple games like Whack-a-Mole. This is not exactly geared for the average gamer, who isn’t going to be interested in setting up electrodes and all kinds of gadgets in order to just sit down and play a game.

PC - www.eyetrackgames.com (Full Credits)
"The world is so different when you're just 5 centimetres tall!"
Arachnophobia is a bewitching game built specifically for Tobii's C12, C15 and PCEye eye-gaze devices (it can also be played using pointer control on other devices).
You play Lore, a girl just 5 centimetres tall who likes squishing spiders, or mites as she calls them. The gameplay area is Lore's kitchen floor which is divided into cells which can be activated by looking at them (when using one of the eye-gaze devices mentioned before).

Doodle Jump
By BillGameBase
PC (opens in a browser) - Jonas Lekevicius
Doodle Jump is a great little game in which you must move an angel up through the clouds and travel as high as possible without falling down or bumping into the beasts you stumble accross on your ascent.
Move your angel using the cursor. This particularly suits eye pointing using an eye-gaze device due to the quick and subtle movements required. However, any pointer input can be used to play.

Shooting Star
By BillGameBase
PC (opens in a browser) - Ace Shooting Games
The 'Shooting Star' of the title is under your command, which you must steer to avoid the onslaught of asteroids and spaceships using a cursor alone. The auto-fire shooting method means that you do not need to use any other buttons to fend off your opponenets, which comes in handy as steering the star alone requires full concentration and lightning reactions to survive.
Your star fires constantly in four directions. If you manage to hit a spaceship, remnants will be left in its place for you to collect and gain extra points. You are given three lives which end when you are hit by an asteroid or spaceship and are gained at 10,000, 100,000 and 1m points. There are two modes of gameplay; 'Adrenaline Mode' in which asteroids and spcaeships of all kinds attack you, and 'Adrenaline Rocket Challenge' in which just rockets fly at you at a blistering pace.

9 Empires
By Alex
PC (opens in a browser) - Capital Games
9 Empires is both a "delayed real-time" strategy browser game as well as a turn-based strategy game. You start off by choosing from 9 different races, including Elves, Underworld and Undead, each with their own unique advantages and disadvantages. After creating your main Hero, the tutorial will take you through the basics of the game. It's very easy to follow and quick to pick up on. Your goal is to become the most powerful Empire on the server and help your alliance (if you choose to have one) dominate the map.
From an accessible point of view, it may require a slightly higher level of dexterity in order to play. Mostly everything is done by mouse; the only things which require keyboard is entering numbers in certain areas (it may also be changed by clicking the arrows, but that's usually a bit tedious) and chatting with other players (very little chatting happens anyway). Dragging is also necessary in order to equip/move items and placing units into your hero's control.

House of the Dead III
By BillGameBase
PC - Wow Entertaiment/Sega (Age: 15+)
Originally released in as an arcade light gun game back in 2002, HOTD III made a port to the Wii a couple of years ago, showing that it still holds much appeal. Eight years after it's first incarnation, revisiting the 2005 PC version reminds us why it is a game which refuses to die.
As a 'rail-shooter,' gameplay does not require the player to move their character directionally, but solely take control of the 'look' and 'aim' movement. This is controlled using a pointer. To shoot press the left mouse button, whilst the gun reloads automatically.

Moving bugs
By chiquitajos
This game could be good for training very young children on eye-gaze. Just "look" (or put the arrow on) the bugs and they start to move! So funny!
(Of course, also works with mouse,
head-mouse, joystick and/or touchscreens).

Legacy of Wisdom
By BillGameBase
PC (opens in a separate window) - Jeremy Kang
The Experimental Gameplay Project Zero Buttons theme, in which designers were challenged to make a game requiring no keyboard or mouse click inputs, has lead to some top knotch mouse only games. Keep an eye out on GameBase.info for more reviews of some of the most accessible of the games entered over the coming weeks.
First up is Legacy of Wisdom, a mouse input only game which requires no clicking, only movement of the cursor (including the menu's). The gameplay especially lends itself to eye control play, but requires concentration and agile movement of the cursor.
