Can you make a fun game where you have to press only one button?

Rules:

Important: this section is often getting updates as people ask new questions. Be sure to come back every so often to see if anything changed! 

Also, if you have any questions, please ask them on the community section or the discord server.

         1) The gameplay of your game has to be only about pressing one circular button with a "FUN" label on it. There are no limitations on the color of the button.

         2) There can be multiple input buttons to press the FUN button (for example LMB and Space), but the effect of the button must not depend on which button of the keyboard/mouse/controller the player pressed.

          3) The only thing the player can do in the game is to press the button. Using WASD or other buttons (including mouse ones) to move the FUN button or other entities is not allowed. 

          4) The FUN button can be held. However keep in mind that the button still needs to have only one effect at a time, so holding the button must have the same effect of the single press, or a "prolonged" one.

         4a) *NEW* Releasing the button can have an effect on the button itself or on other entities.

          5) The FUN button does not have to be at the center of the screen.

          6) Pressing the FUN button can have an impact on itself or on other elements of the game.

          7) The effect of the FUN button can change over time or over presses (so the button can have a certain effect the first time it's pressed and have another effect the second time it's pressed etc.)

           8) You can't have multiple FUN buttons in your game. Also, the button must not have "multiple parts" with different effects.

           9) No NSFW content.

This jam is inspired by this video of Jonas Tyroller. 

If the rules aren't clear to you or if you need inspiration, that video will probably help.

FAQ:

Q: Theme?

A: No, this jam won't have a theme, as it already has many demanding limitations. For this reason, you can already start thinking about the idea of your game! However, please start to work on the game only when the jam starts.

Q: Prize?

A: A special role on our discord server.

Q:  Rating criteria?

A: This jam has only one rating criteria, fun! And because of that, any game that doesn't respect the rules will be disqualified from the jam.

Q: Are there any restrictions on game engines?

A: No, you can use any game engine you want. Making a windows build is recommended.

Q: Can I use free assets/things I made before?

A: Yes you can.

Q: Can I make a main menu for my game?

A: Yes, if you have time you can include in your game a main menu, graphic options, sound options etc. The limitations are of course restricted only to the gameplay of your game.

Q: What if I want to make a 3D game?

A: You can make a 3D game with all these limitations: the only difference is that your FUN button won't be a circle but a cilinder...
