[grayblizzard]

So I have a boxers fracture ( fifth metacarpal is broken. This is on my right hand making mouse work almost impossible. ARE THERE ANY CHEAP, FUN KEYBOARD ONLY ONE HANDED GAMES?

Yes, that is EXACTLY why you only want to use one hand ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

 

And yes, in fact, there are many. 

 

SuperCrateBox

VVVVVV

SuperHexagon

OpenHexagon

FTL: Faster Than Light (technically uses the mouse, but has left hand keybaord shortcuts for almost everything, also spacebar is pause, so it works well with one hand)

Tetris

Minesweeper?

SuperCrateBox may need rebinds, as i seem to recall it uses Z, X, and arrow keys.

Also VVVVVV, SuperHexagon and OpenHexagon can be controlled with WASD instead of arrow keys.

its not a keyboard game, but bloons td battles is pretty good.  Free on steam.  you can use just the mouse.  Pretty simple game, so using your left hand with mouse should be fine.  As a bonus, you can sync up the game to your phone or tablet, and play it more there.  

Not really the best game out there, but its free on steam, and android and ios, so... why not?

I myself have put many hours into this, as its a really fun casual game that i can play on basically anything.  They are always updating it too surprisingly.

 

hell, heres the link to play it now from creators website.  if you like it, download it off steam, its just better that way.

this is the single player version that you play now as a guest, without creating accounts and stuff.  Gives you a feel for the game, cost money on steam, and android and ios, so.... thats why the other one is better.

You would be better off getting a cheap ambidextrous mouse and learning to use your left hand. There a ton of games that would be just fine with only a mouse.

How are you with rpg adventure games? I played "The legend of Heroes: Trails in the sky"

Pretty much exclusively with one hand, that aswell as the second game "Trails in the sky SC"

Pretty solid jrpg's, will probably get 50+ hours out of each. 

 

Undertale, another solid rpg, pretty sure it's mostly one handed. I would like to reccommend 
avernum aswell, escape from the pit and and crystal souls(the second game) Absolutely 

fantastic games! great and interesting world, superb setting that really lets you indulge in

the world they have created. The writing really makes the game for me. 

 

I don't quite remember if you can get through avernum exclusively on keyboard, it might be

tad tricky, but i think you can. Take that with a grain of salt though, i have more than 90 hours
in each. 

 

I don't think any of them are particularly pricey on either steam or gog.com, especially not 

considering about amount of content you get for the price.
