Found a bitlife alternative

Hello all,
As I was browsing Reddit, I came across a game called lifepop.
It’s mostly accessible and the developer is aware of screen reader support.
It has more things to do than bitlife.
Here is the link if anybody’s interested.

And here’s their discord if you have any suggestions or bugs.

So I am slowly playing this game and trying to get used to it. The only thing is that in setting when i try to turn accessibility mode on it stays off. Don't know what the compact life screen means. An. For now I am just aging up year by year to see how it goes. I could've quickly moved up to age 13 but its okay.

Accessibility actually do turn on, but it only shows when you exit and reenter settings.

We can't get rid of tutorial pop-ups near the top of the life screen.

Earlier on I deleted and did a fresh install but some of the settings do turn on but this game is so engaging that some things I forget to do. I do like how you get to do even more interaction with the school activities. I went bowling and I joined the chess club and printed out bulletins and had a debate I think. It would be cool for more sound effects though.

Can no longer edit our kids. Every time I open the app, I must restore my purchases.

Sarah Green noticed you've been on your phone a lot... they're suspicious. She's also dead, so she must be haunting me when trying to date jk. Also, VoiceOver lags when editing skills under the all tab. I still need to restore my purchases at the start of every life, or when I open the app.

I'm glad there's something out there that competes against BitLife and that the dev is responsive to making their app accessible! I'm going to try this out!

I think you'll really like the game. I can't wait to here about what you think.

What I like is the fact that the developer is putting in maximum effort to make this thing accessible. Not only that, but the app is working with actual voiceover (not some stupid third-party plug-in).

I like it to the point that there's so much to do in the game that i am forgetting things to do for each year. So its still taking some getting used to for me.

If I was forced to mention a critique, it would be the fact that NPC characters aren't autonomous enough. It would be nice if family, friends and partners could actually steal from you, cheat on you, suggest stuff, borrow stuff, ask to pay for college tuitions, cars or anything along that line basically. Right now, they just sit there and we need to initiate everything with them. It would be nice if they too can become initiators. Hopefully, this will all be considered later on.

Since we can only see the first 10 events in every category, I think the developer should add a search event feature, similar to the search career feature under the career unlocker tab. It will be guesswork, but at least we will have access to more events.
