Question
Which games can I inspect if I want a smaller or simpler control set?
Complex simultaneous inputs, many key bindings or fast control switching can be a barrier independent of game difficulty.
Current understanding
Cats Organized Neatly is described as playable with the left and right mouse buttons. The Shape of Things describes one-hand mouse play for selecting and manipulating pieces. These are useful bounded control facts, but neither establishes complete motor accessibility, remapping or assistive-device compatibility.

What evidence is still needed
- A broader game catalogue with governed control-remapping, hold/toggle, simultaneous-input and alternative-device information.
Where people may disagree
- Few buttons can still require precise pointing, dragging or visuospatial manipulation, so 'simple controls' must not be equated with accessible controls.
When this answer should be revisited
- A listed game changes its input requirements or accessibility options.
- First-party or specialist accessibility documentation provides more precise control data.
