Simple, fast-paced games with colorful graphics and catchy audio, that require few or no explanations, can be played in short bursts, and usually require a lot of skill. Similar in style and spirit with the arcade game cabinets of the 80s and 90s.
Only requires a single button (commonly the left mouse button or a single key on the keyboard) to operate the game's controls or interact with it.
