Hi all!
As some of you may know I'm a blind developer, I've made some iOS games like accessible hangman, accessible 2048, choose your face and so on.
I've recently made a new game and I'm happy to say that finally it is published in the App Store.
I can't post my own game into the app directory for obvious reasons, but I thought i would still create a forum topic.
I also made a little video of the game, it's all on my website. Here is the description of the game:
Can you win the game with one circle on the board?
Round logic is an accessible take on the classic single-player puzzle game, peg solitaire, that challenges your strategic thinking and problem-solving skills. The game takes place on a board filled with circles, except for one empty hole. Your objective is to make circles jump over circles, similar to the movement in checkers, removing them from the board with each move, until only one circle remains. Are you the puzzle expert we have been waiting for?
- sound effects to enhance your gameplay experience.
- The rules of the game are included in an easily accessible help screen.
- Quickly check which circles you can move in case you are stuck.
- Save your game to continue later.
- Accessible for low vision and blind players using the VoiceOver screen reader.
- Accessible for persons with motor disabilities by eliminating swipes.

I hope you enjoy the game!

Yay
Only a few months ago I was looking for an accessible version of this game. I downloaded a bunch of them from the App Store, but with no luck.
Delighted you’ve made this. Thanks and well done.

Good game!
Hi! When I was young I used to play Peg Solitaire: I was never an expert player, but I enjoyed it. So I'm very pleased that Round Logic has now been released: I've only done a few moves in my first game as I write this, but I'm enjoying the game just as much as I used to enjoy Peg Solitaire. Thank you, Oriol, for this excellent game!
Awesome!!
I had a physical version of this game, and although I wasn't very good, I loved it. Thanks for making this game!!
I haven't tried it yet, but I will after I write this.
I'm just writing to say I am super excited about this game. I own a fair number of
physical versions, of all three types. One, sometimes referred to as English, has rows that go 3 3 7 7 7 3 3. Another, French, has 3 5 7 7 7 5 3. These are both in the form of a plus sign or cross. Then there's the one in the form of a triangle.
On the off-chance you haven't implemented all of these yet, I think it would be really cool if you could play all three types. OK, I am off to presumably give you money now.
A suggestion
I think you need to give a clearer description of how the board is laid out in the health section. I actually have a physical game that is laid out in cross form, so I could somewhat picture what the Rosen columns meant. However, I am having a hard time picturing the whole board in my head so I know which moves to make. That’s probably just me.
On the Mac too?
Any chance this will get authorized for Mac? We've got a dearth of games for it but I've been playing a few iOS games on my M2. They work fairly well.
Hi all, First thanks for all…
Hi all,
First thanks for all the positive comments, I just saw this.
As to the person who suggested more variants, I'm thinking how it would be possible to make diagonal moves on the board. Did your French variant require diagonal moves?
I'm guessing that the triangle version does require diagonal moves.
Thanks again everyone, I will be participating at a call tomorrow for ACB at 8PM CET, that's I think 2PM EST.
Great game, one suggestion
Thanks for making this game. It's just as fun and frustrating as the physical game I use to have.
My request is can you make the help and restart buttons bigger?
I thought of a second thing since typing my subject line. The contrast for the game board is pretty good, but would you consider having the option to play in black and white? As a low vision player, I would appreciate that.
Like I said, it's a great game, and I know it will keep me endlessly entertained on a long flight I'm taking soon.
I just played your game, and…
I just played your game, and it's amazing! I love how accessible it is, and the sound effects really add to the experience. The VoiceOver support and design for motor disabilities are fantastic. Great job, and I can't wait to see more!
