One-tap games

A one-tap game is a game controlled by a single input. You tap the screen, and in some games you hold it. Where you touch never matters; only when does. That makes one-tap games the easiest games to pick up and some of the hardest to put down: you learn the rules in two seconds, a run lasts under a minute, and your best score is always one try away.

Why one-tap games work

• Instant: no tutorial, no menus; the first tap starts the game.
• One-handed: playable standing on a train with a coffee in the other hand.
• Fair: one input means skill is all about timing, so every death feels like your mistake, and every retry feels winnable.
• Short: 30 to 90 seconds per run fits any spare moment.

The two inputs: tap and hold

Most one-tap games use a tap for a single action (jump, flap, drop, throw, turn). Many add a hold for a continuous action (thrust, glide, grow, swing). Tapamine games use only these two, so the controls are the same whether you play on a phone, a tablet or a computer (the spacebar works too).

Daily levels, ghosts and friend challenges

Every Tapamine game has a daily level that's identical for every player, so scores are directly comparable. While you play you race ghosts: translucent replays of real runs. After a run you can send a challenge link; your friend plays the same level against your ghost. Scores are checked on the server by replaying the recorded taps, so leaderboards stay honest.
