Meet WOMP!
WOMP! is a collaborative, social multiplayer game played with only one button. Players are challenged to work together to control a customizable flying contraption — the Wobblegong — through a dangerous environment.
Each player is responsible for a single function of the Wobblegong (e.g., flapping a wing), and all interactions in the game are performed with only a single button on the controller.
Here’s a gameplay video showing four players womping together on a sofa.
WOMP! was born out of a brainstorming session around the constraint of using only a single button on the controller.
