Evaluation

Press Any Button launched on January 7, 2021 as a self-contained ~1-hour story experience. The developer shipped two DLC items — a Mini Art Book at launch (January 7, 2021) and a Soundtrack on September 12, 2022 — both of which are now released. No further DLC is listed or announced. The developer's own posts make clear that his creative focus has moved on. By December 2021, he was already announcing a sequel game (Many Buttons to Press, which launched January 6, 2022), and by mid-2021 he was teasing a separate new project (Knight of the Lions), which officially released November 27, 2025. His most recent posts about Press Any Button — a one-day free giveaway in September 2025 and a discount promotion in November 2025 — are promotional in nature, not content announcements. Neither signals any new content for the game itself. There are no unreleased DLC items, no announced future content, and no developer statements suggesting further updates. The game shipped as a finished, short-form narrative experience, and all supplementary content (art book, soundtrack) has been released. Press Any Button is complete.

About this game

PRESS ANY BUTTON is an arcade-style game. It has a big emphasis on story, but it will also put your reflexes to a test!



The game introduces a weird but sweet character named A-Eye. He is an artificial intelligence created to process data for important scientific research. When he gets bored with this assignment, he decides to turn the research into a video game. The fact that he can't draw game assets or compose music and knows nothing about game design is not going to stop him.

A-Eye will be extremely glad if you become an impartial critic for him. Make your own opinion on the game he's been working on and find out his story full of life, death, rain, and dandelions.

What you should know before you play:
  • It will take you about an hour to complete the game.
  • The gameplay consists of dialogues with the main character and of playing the game he is creating.
  • You will need to stop falling blocks. If a block goes beyond the bottom edge of the screen, you will lose a life.
  • The previous sentence might not sound very exciting, but you should consider that the blocks are going to look different and have unique properties.
  • And yes, the whole thing still might prove to be not very exciting. Be understanding, this is the very first game for A-Eye!
  • But don't be patronizing, he doesn't like it.
