An interactive short story more than a game, Rückblende lets you explore the protagonists childhood past at the location of a remotewoodland hut. As you wonder about you remember events and piece memories together. It is pointer controlled and for most interactive icons you simply place the cursor over them and for some you need to click. This makes it a good activity for eye or head pointer control practice.

ToneMatrix, inudge and Tink
By Bill (R&D, SpecialEffect)
PC - (all open in a separate window) Andre Michelle, inudge and William Pilgrim
Andre Michelle's ToneMatrix allows the user to create music using a simple and direct interface. Using a pointer you click on the cells to highlight them. As the sequence loops round it plays these highlighted cells.
The inudge works on the same principal, but with the addition of an extra 7 layers, allowing you to build up sounds to create a more complex composition.
William Pilgrim's Tink offers both pointer input and switch input. The two modes of switch control can be alternated using the 3 key. One moves along the cells, with one switch press (replicating the Space bar) changing the direction of the scanning and holding or a quick tap selecting the cell. The second, moves the selector round different cells randomly with a switch press selecting a cell.

Doeo
By Bill (R&D, SpecialEffect)
PC (opens in a separate window) - Raitendo
The challenge is to collect as many ‘Doeo’ as you can in the 40 second levels. In easy mode you must collect at least 100 to progress and in hard 200. You need fairly fast reactions, but no mouse clicks are needed. Placing your cursor over a Doeo collects it. This makes ‘Doeo’ playable with various pointer input methods, including head and eye control. The sound and graphics are vibrant and fun making this a lively quick challenge.

Puki
By Bill (R&D, SpecialEffect)
PC (opens in a separate window) - Grant Skinner
Don’t be fooled by their cute appearance, the Puki are a vicious bunch. Whilst, the complete controls are fairly complex (w,a,s,d = directional, shift = crouch, space = shield, mouse = look, aim and left click = shoot) the game can be successfully played solely with the mouse.
You automatically move forwards through the corridors, progressing through the levels. The Puki come at you quite quickly, so good accuracy and fast reactions are required. Puki suits all methods of accurate pointer control including head and eye control users. http://www.gskinner.com/games/puki/
