So, yesterday I snapped my radius, can anyone recommend good games to be played with one hand?

Closed

It's my right radius too, so 1 handed-keyboard or trackpad games please xD Preferably ones I already have, but otherwise I'm sure I could invest a bit :)

ah, so its that hand? that makes it more difficult, so basically you want something that only uses wasd

so probably some kind of 2d platformer with left right jump crouch....

heres one that only needs one finger
http://www.information-superhighway.net/santabalt/

1hand
http://andrewmorrish.net/?page_id=157
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/608116

and this needs 2 but might be limited enough(but less likely since although your left could be more or less rested on space your right is the arrow keys and no way to change it, if controls could reconfigure it'd be playable 1handed, but unfortunately http://andrewmorrish.net/?page_id=313

No, not even close. Anyways, VVVVVV can be played with one hand if I remember correctly. I love that game, so give it a try. Also, I think you can play Jamestown with the mouse only, it's awesome as well

Go play some classic shmups, you can even play one handed if you use thumb for shooting and the others for navigation.

Can't you use your mouse with the left hand?

There are tons of strategy games you can play...

Maybe some simpler platform games? Jumper series for example (it's a freeware thingy kinda like Super Meat Boy,
but you can rather easily play it with just one hand, since all the controls are mapped to the arrow keys).

+1 on Jumper
it is a lot easier than SMB, though SMB has "jumper guy" as an unlock! :D

Dwarfs can be played one-handed, if you're able to control the mouse. I don't know about the other games you have on your list, unfortunately.

Other game, but which would need you to use the mouse a lot, is The Witcher 1. The iso controls on the game allow single-handed mouse controlling.

Do you enjoy point and click games, if so try out Deponia, Monkey Island and Sam & Max. Hope you get better soon

Not hugely, but I could probably get into them :)
Unfortunately they're mostly mouse controlled, and I'm not very good at using the mouse with my left hand xD

But on the plus side you don't have to quickly click anything its not like you're gonna die in most cases. Take it as an opportunity to practice using the mouse with your left hand. You don't have a choice anyways :P

EDITED:
(Bold are highly reccomended based on your time in spacechem and Fortrix (and a few others)
Suggested buys :
Ticket to ride. Best boardgame on steam, by far.
Puzzle: Toki Tori, Splice, RUSH, Obulis/Cut The Rope(CTR is "Free2Pay" not on steam), Cogs, Serious Sam: The Random Encounter, and Anomaly Warzone Earth (Reverse Tower Defense).

Fortrix 2

Nearly any RTS, Tower Defense games
Darwinia, Revenge of the titans (towerdefense)
Flight Control (HD on steam) Mouse only but isn't too bad i don't think.
Dungeons of Dredmor(RPG), Spectromancer(strategy, multiplayer, kinda like hero academy but with cards), Shatter/Wizorb(Arkanoid/Breakout), Sequence(DDR+RPG)

Jamestown can work. It lets you rebind everytime you start the game! :D

Puzzlequest games, Puzzle kingdom in a lesser respect. Do NOT play PQ2... awful iteration...
Plants VS Zombies

Pretty good for trackpad:
Quantz is a 3D match 3 game. really fun on trackpad/trackball. Puzzle Mode is awesome.
Critical Mass is about the same as above but a different feel and quite a bit harder.

Droplitz is great with a mouse/trackpad. has keyboard interface too but i forgot the buttons. Should be fine with trackpad.

Isn't SS: Random Encounter a 2D shooter?

neocow

Not at all, its a top down puzzle rpg.
You run around the map and do puzzley stuff sometimes, collect powerups here and there. You encounter random or not so random battles, which is bascially top down, it is Turn Based / Real time. You have weapons equipped to each man and they shoot where you told them to, in a line or AOE or w/e.
All control during the realtime part is just moving up and down on the left side of the screen to make sure stuff hits enemies.

WTF is... SS:TRE

No idea where I got the idea that it's a 2D shooter from then xD

TL:DR its turn based with tiny amount of realtime (5 second chunks) where you move up and down to aim/dodge. no mouse.

Out of what you own:
Castle Crashers (with remap/rebind)
Cubemen (kinda sucks)
Fortrix, looks like you finished it. Maybe Fortrix 2?

Hero Academy!

Yeh, it kinda sucks xD
Haven't finished Fortix iirc
HE:D requires lots of fast typing, which I can't do with one hand xD
Hero Academy is cool :D
SpaceChem is amazing, but my mind isn't up for it at the moment, too tired from lack of sleep xD

I changed my other post to suggested buys a clean it up a tiny, tiny bit.

RUSH, Serious Sam: The Random Encounter, Plants VS Zombies, and Quantz would all be solid buys for you.

For CC i'd remap to WASD Light/heavy attack on qe or alt and c or one on q/e, lol. if that makes sense.
Move item and eat to e/f. Move item both ways on 1-2. Block on ctrl if its not too akward.. Hmm, not sure where else i'd put it.
Shift is fine for magic on wasd and jump is fine too on space.
Ring bell is rare so you dont really need it accessible, t or wherever, maybe 3.

I'd probably set Ring bell to x, I like using x :)

He's trolling you, you CAN NOT play Starcraft one handed. Well, technically I guess you can, but you can't play well one handed.

My husband had surgery on his right hand, and he has been playing Painkiller: Black. He does have some usage in his hand, so I'm not sure if it is a useful suggestion.
