What games can be played with one hand?

[Hippyshake]

Ok, this probably needs to be said: I'm not some weird fetishist, and this is an honest question. :)

I'm a new grandpa, and often my grandson will fall asleep on my lap, which means I can't play anything that requires a keyboard or gamepad (because I need to keep one hand on him so he doesn't roll). So, I've been trying to find games that can be played with just the mouse (and I'd like to think this thread could be useful for one-armed gamers as well). Here's what I have so far: (EDITED to add games suggested by others - Thanks!):

Aquaria (Quint T. Firefly)[http//-http]
Chaos Reborn (Random Reference #98)
Everyday Genius: SquareLogic
Flower Shop: Summer In Fairbrook (although really not my favorite type of game)
Geometry Dash (Lord Gaben)
Gunspell - Steam Edition
Heroes of Might & Magic series (Gus the Crocodile)
Lexica
Lyne
Papers, Please (J4MESOX4D)
Peggle (SLeepy Li' CHew CHew)
Pixel Puzzles games
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (Mr. Gency)
Surgeon Simulator (Lord Gaben)
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky (Quint T. Firefly)
Toki Tori
Total War series ([MK]The Russian Monk-Monks-)
World of Goo (SLeepy Li' CHew CHew)

I was tempted to add some roguelikes to the list (which are technically playable with just the mouse), but the problem with games like bitDungeon II is that it's always better to be able to maneuver using the keyboard while attacking, whereas using just the mouse will get you killed in pretty short order.

So, there have to be a lot more, but these are the ones I've tried so far. Are there any others? Cheers!

Try out Surgen Simulator, or this is a challenging game, Geometry Dash

World of Goo,Peggle .Any adventure,puzzle game will do.Or any point and shoot how some say.:B1:

Many adventure games use the keyboard to move (for example, Doctor Who), and the same goes for point and shoot games. That's why I'm asking about specific games, rather than genres (like World of Goo and Peggel, so thanks for those!).

Holy &^%@, I think I'd jerk him off my lap if I played Geometry Dash! lol. That game is pretty brutal...never heard of it until now. Thanks. :)

"Hidden Object" type games...

[Quint the Alligator Snapper]

This game is a full-length RPG with in-depth story and very detailed setting and script, and is completely playable using mouse alone.

This game is an absolutely beautiful and pretty large metroidvania focused on exploration and discovery and gradually unraveling a storyline. It can be played by mouse alone (and I think it might almost be playable by left hand keyboard alone but requires mouse to aim).

I always found the Heroes of Might & Magic series pretty good for this. Probably a lot of other slow-paced strategy-ish stuff works the same way.

Every turn based game ever.

Also, this (which can also be set to play like a turn based rpg if you want).

Turn based and everything except rotating the map(Q/E) is done with the mouse. Left click for selecting/dragging the map view around, scroll wheel for zoom and right click for clearing selections.

[The Russian Monk]

I think most if not all of the Total War series can be played with one hand. Those are great games.

Thanks for all the great suggestions, everyone! I've added them to the main post. Feel free to suggest any more you know of. Cheers!

There's this, while I know it's a lazy throw perhaps:

Transistor can be played with a mmo mouse, or any gaming mouse with 6 or more buttons in addition to mouse button 1-3. Unless you can scroll through your moves with the mouse wheel, then you just need two extra buttons.

[Ineffable Anathema]

Both of these are outstanding games by the way.

Also, consider your mouse: with the right mouse, such as a Razer Naga which has a 12 button thumb array, you could easily assign many functions to the thumb pad and play even more games one handed.

Oh also, thanks to the "bump system" used for combat in Ys I, you can play that basically with one hand (except going into the menus to switch items around and such).

Not sure about the second game, but I doubt it since I know it has a magic spell attack.
