About this collection
Every game in this collection is controlled with a single finger. You tap, hold or swipe, and that is the whole control scheme, so you can play on the bus, on the couch or with your other hand holding a drink. There is no virtual joystick, no button layout to learn and nothing to configure before you start.
Most of them are endless runs, reflex games and hypercasual arcade games. The rules fit in one sentence, which is why they are easy to start, but speed and obstacles build as you go, and the goal is almost always to beat your own best score. That is where the one-more-try feeling comes from.
They also work on a computer: a mouse click or a key press replaces the tap, and each game page lists the exact controls before you start.
What you'll find
Tips
- Watch the pattern first. Most obstacles repeat, so a second of observation beats mashing the screen.
- Keep your thumb relaxed. A tense grip makes you tap too early.
- Check the controls section on the game page if you want to play with a mouse or keyboard instead.
