Attractor
By Bill (R&D, SpecialEffect)
PC (opens in a browser) - TheGameKitchen/AccessAble Games
AccessAble Games have teamed up with TheGameKitchen to advise on accessibilty features to create a game which offers a range of options to allow more people to play it.
The aim of the game is to use gravitational forces to move an orb like ball and guide it to black hole. The standard method of gameplay (when no options have been altered) uses a cursor combined with a left click to select between the hexagonal shapes which contain the invisible forces which you must utilise to complete each of the 27 levels.

Aeronaut
By Bill (R&D, SpecialEffect)
PC (opens in a browser) - Jason H. Pickering
A lovely little one button game in which you must travel the greatest distance possible avoiding angry and bemonocled clouds, then successfully land your balloon safely.
The game has a full one button control scheme using the spacebar as the sole input for both gameplay and to start and restart the game. Repeated presses of the spacebar or switch are required, which also need to be accurately timed.

Portem
By One Switch
PC Windows XP onwards - Mirrow (24.99 Euros)
Portem is a virtual world that can be explored using a single switch, your brain(!) or more traditionally, a mouse and keyboard combo.
Exploring the simulated Dutch city of Portem is the greatest pleasure in this uniquely accessible game. Don't expect any deep conversations with the inhabitants ("Hi!"), and don't worry about the traffic (it can't hurt you). Just feel free to mooch about, hunting down the glowing rotating 'Play' icons floating around the city that each lead to an individual one-switch game...

The Flood Runner 2 - The Next Wave
By Bill (R&D, SpecialEffect)
PC (opens in a browser) - Bryan Devlin
Another top notch side scrolling one button game in the same vein as Canabalt and G-Switch in which you must escape the flood waters by leaping from rock to rock using just left click or space bar and quick reactions.
The menu is interacted with using the cursor, but once it is left hovering over the start icon you can restart your go by pressing left click.

EAG 2011: Dream Arcade
By One Switch
How would you like to spend a day playing all kinds of amusement machines, all on free play? I was a bit surprised to find I could do this as I walked into the EAG Expo 2011 (European and Amusement Gaming Expo) in London's ExCeL centre. I wore a huge grin for most of the time I was there.
All this had me thinking: If I had all the money in the world, what would I have picked from the show for a dream accessible arcade...?

AccessAble Glove Switch
By One Switch
Light Pressure Glove Switch - AccessAble Games (cost on request)
The GameBase was recently donated a Switch Glove with thanks to Javier Mairena of AccessAble Games in Spain. We love the simplicity of design, and how well they work with standard switch interfaces.
It works great with one-switch games such as Canabalt seen below (although Bill admits he was out of practice when he made the video). To find out more and to get in touch with AccessAble Games, read on...

Magnet Canyon Racer
By Bill (R&D, SpecialEffect)
PC (opens in a browser) - Go Play Sushi .com
Magnet Canyon Racer is not worried about not making much sense, just in making a short, fun game with plenty of replay value.
The aim is to travel the furthest distance in your left turn only car using the pull of the magnets to you right to counterbalance your lack of steering, whilst avoiding the rocky sheer drop off the cliff edge to your left. Along the way there will also be obstacles to test your one button driving skills.

One Button Left
By Bill (R&D, SpecialEffect)
PC (opens in a separate window).
A Space Invaders with one button gameplay, One Button Left uses a simple yet effective mechanic to give the player full control of their ship using just the spacebar.
After navigating the menu with a mouse cursor, the game itself requires the pressing of the spacebar to move your ship right, whilst relasing it will move it left. You will automatically fire at enemy ships when positioned beneath them.
