Freeware Game Pick: Fish Face (Beau Blyth)
Fish Face is a one-button arcade game with three levels to play, each taking roughly five to ten minutes to complete. Here you play as a fish that uses its buoyancy to move in and out of the water, avoiding walls or enemies that will hurt our aquatic friend on impact.
Red loops can be collected for points, while the blue ones act as checkpoint locations that you can return to when your fish crashes into a solid object. Fish Face was originally created by Beau Blyth for submission into the Gamma IV competition, though the game eventually lost out and didn't make it through the final cut. (Windows, 3.36MB)

What a fantastic little game! The controls are perfectly balanced and the challenge is just right.

Nice one- but really short (took me 6 minutes to complete). Graphics are especially gorgeous and crisp reminding me of VIC-20 and ZX games.
I wonder how would this game might have been accepted back in the day..

This may be the best 1-button game I've ever played. Make sure to play all three levels--each offers a new environment to "explore".

I wouldn't even say this game is awesome as a one button game, it's one of the best indie titles I played in a long time. Wish for even more courses! The music was brilliant too (especially for the normal course)!

Odd, latest Kaspersky reported a Constructor virus in the main exe?

Super awesome game, but I'm a little worried about the virus warnings. Malwarebytes had nothing to say about it, but apparently Kaspersky does. I've noticed that when I play it on Windows 7, all the icons in my taskbar get switched around. Like Pidgin is now Firefox, and Skype is now iTunes. Logging in and out fixes it, but it's got me worried. I love the game, such great design, but is it doing anything it shouldn't be?
