If I remember correctly, the last time single-action games were hot topic was about three years ago. Back then it was the black-and-white iOS game, with character running through the city roofs, and your only control was a tap to jump. No idea what it was called.
The success spawned hundreds of imitations, and in about a year the craze had died.
The only surprising things here are, in my mind: A) that the full cycle has gone so quickly, and B) that the author of the article doesn't remember (or acknowledge) a fairly recent past.

- alanfalcon 13y agoAdam Atomic's canabalt, and it was a brilliant and polished game (even if it was created in a super short period of time). I'm sad to see Flappy Bird mentioned alongside it, yet the comparison is apt and I've spent nearly as much time in a marathon happy bird session as I ever did in a canabalt session.
