Hello hello.
- Is a joystick considered 1 button?
- Are menus excepted from the 1 button rule? ie. if Flappy Bird had stats you could upgrade through a menu, would it still be a 1 button game?
- Does original concept mean completely original mechanic?

An object that is interactable via touch (joysticks count) counts as a button in this case. You can move an object to different positions to make it appear there are multiple buttons when there isn't.
-
No exceptions as far as I'm aware. Similarly to the first answer, any object with touch behavior(s) counts as a button. You could make this work with one single button but we're assuming you're making a simple (and fun) game that doesn't require this. So flappy bird on its own without a shop would work.
-
An original concept in this case is just an idea that is not taken from another game (not necessarily mechanic). It's almost impossible to make a game without any similar mechanics to another existing game - but the core idea of the game should be unique. (eg. Minecraft and Terraria are unique on their own, but share some similar mechanics)

One button, no menus, got it.
