No Barriers to Fun!

We met our friend Giddeon at the AbleGamers Accessibility Arcade in Atlantic City, New Jersey. When he first sat down with the AbleGamers crew, Giddeon didn't want to play any games.

{sidebar id=1}It's important to remember that developing a game is not about making money, or making people happy, or creating the best game ever made. No, developing a game is all about having fun. Ok, it's mostly about the money. But in this case it's about the most minimal game ever made: Momiga.

Momiga is a one-switch game made as simplistically as possible. The game consists of a black screen with one white dot on the left-hand side of the screen. Your mission is to get that dot from the left-hand side of the screen to the right hand side of the screen through various ways of clicking.

Level I simply requires you hold the click down. Level II requires relatively fast clicking. Level III requires clicking at the appropriate time. And so on. The object of the game is to complete the game with as few clicks as possible.

one_finger The accessibility is amazingly simple. Deaf gamers can play uninhibited as everything is on the screen. Colorblind players can play as there are no colors. Motion impaired gamers can play as long as you can click or hit a switch/space bar at the appropriate times, sometimes quickly.

In the spirit of a minimalist game, AbleGamers Web game of the week story ends here. Go play!

although this game is amazingly simple it can create some frustration because it often requires you to click as quick as 3 to 4 times a second over a period of time in order to achieve the goal. I am not able to reach level three;-)
