Compo to develop a game for gamers with restricted movement

Hi all,
There is a compo to release a game using a single input ( mouse click, button etc ) for use by gamers with restricted movements etc.
It could be a great way of getting you to focus on a very small game, from start to finish ( it could be 2D, or 3D, no restrictions ), and releasing it to a good cause.
It might take you a day, or a few weeks to make, and you could focus more on simple gameplay than graphics / multiple levels etc.
If you have any games that you'd like to enter, see here...

I quickly updated this old game, and entered it...

Hahaha yeah - it's one of those "just one more try" games because it seems so incredibly simple that you're sure you won't screw-up the next round. Good job!

I scored 549 which is probably pretty bad. Well done!

I tried your game out Mal, and I agree with Mike. It's addictive!
I want to enter this so bad, but I am not sure if I could make it before the deadline. (Kinda hammered right out, professionally and in life, as I am moving in a month.)

Wow, that has got to be the best game compo I've seen. It gives you a very interesting creative limitation, but otherwise doesn't restrict you on what you could do. And best of all, it's for the benefit of society! What an awesome way to boost a specialized market of game development!I tried your game out Mal, and I agree with Mike. It's addictive!

Maybe I'm just out of the loop but it took me reading your whole post to figure out what a "compo" was.

That is a really good game, well done. A lot harder than it looks :)
