Playing Musical Games

The following three games are just about the sum total of one-switch accessible games that exist to the best of my knowledge. Hopefully this will change in the near future as music based games can be such huge fun.

If you are aware of any other switch accessible games, or would like to host yours here, then please do get in touch.

Chuck Rock Dance (PC - Free)

If you like Queen's "We Will Rock You" you may enjoy a game or two on this one-switch dance game. Played entirely with the SPACE BAR.

Um Jammer Lammy (Playstation / PSone)

A wonderfully funky game for those with very good rhythm. A large portion of the game can be played using one accessibility switch connected to the X button.

To play: From the MENU screen choose OPTION then select EASY difficulty. Finally select the STAGE SELECT option to start.

Rock Band (Various Formats)

As part of a group of one-switch musicans it is possible to play Rock Band Guitar and Drums using accessibility switches. To do so you will need to adapt the hardware first:

D.I.Y. Switch Accessible Guitar Guide
D.I.Y. Switch Accessible Drums Guide

The superb practice mode allows you to play entire songs no matter your ability.

Other ideas for Music Games: Almost all dance mat games can be played using multiple accessibility switches. One of my favourite dance mat games is The Jungle Book Groove Party for the PSone. Some great tunes (especially "We Are the Vultures" in Scouse-Ska style) and in two player mode you can help one another to get through each stage.
