Accessibility Comments

I would imagine that this game is quite playable once you start it. However, the menus are completely inaccessible to Voiceover, so doing that is a bit of a problem and I haven't been able to do it.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads no page elements.

Button Labeling

No buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

The app is totally inaccessible.

Other Comments

After checking out the Pixelheart website, I've been able to find this blurb: • Why there isn't a VoiceOver option for visually impaired players? That's a good idea, we didn't think about it! Unfortunately that will require a lot of work because the tools used for the development do not support the device built-in VoiceOver option. We'll be working on it. So, hopefully this game will be accessible soon. :) All we can do is wait, and maybe say that there are indeed people interested.

Accessibility

Hi. Today I played the game and I must say, it's enough accessible to play from start to the end. Game is really short, but i played it to the end so it's not that bad with accessibility. The buttons in menu are located on the left side of the screen. Start is on the left and somewhere in the center / above. When you'll click on start new game narration will begins. You can skip it and go directly to the game by touching bottom center of the screen. After the narration you must do the same, so basically when you'll click on start you'll be tapping this bottom center place on the screen between levels. Everything else ingame is clear and accessible. Playable, checked and finished.

Re: Vanished Accessibility

Hello fokes. I've enjoied playing this game without the use of VoiceOver. There are no menus, buttons, edit feilds or other confusing items. All you need to do to play this game is to disable VoiceOver and tap the mmidle of the screen to start the gameplay. The app contains a built in VoiceOver feature, but does not provide hints or instructions how to move, where to tap. For more information about playing this game, please feel free to ask.

Playing

How do you start the game and play? I could not figure out how to start playing. Anyone know what to do when first launching the app?

Re: playing

Hi. Sure. You can start playing by tapping the half midle of the screen with 1 finger while the background is playing. You don't need to be acurate, you can tap any where on the screen until you hear a short intro to each level. Tap again on the screen with one finger and you'll notice that the game has started. During the gameplay you hav to listen to the unique sounds and walk to them. Tap and hold the midle of the screen to walk, shake to fire, rotate your device to change directions. If you're facing issues playing this game please don't hesitate to contact. Khalfan.

Ive reed from the game's discription, that terning on the devise's compass is needed. is it really helpfull to tern on compas?</p>

just download the game

I just download the game and play it for awhile. it is playable but, if it has self voiceing or work with voice over. should be more better.

Not feeling it.

It was playable without having to use Voice Over, but it wasn't fun, stimulating, or challenging enough. :)
