Accessibility
- All nine games are designed to be played with sound and vibration without looking at the screen, according to the developer accessibility page and App Store text.
- VoiceOver is supported in menus, game selection, start screens, gameplay, pause, results, and settings.
- Accessibility Mode can self-voice the app interface, with adjustable speech rate and voice for players who do not use VoiceOver.
- Directional audio and binaural/stereo placement are used for position, movement, danger, and goals. The app recommends headphones.
- Haptics are used as extra information for contact, selection, success, failure, and rising danger.
- Version 1.1 added swipe navigation and a two-finger pause after blind-player feedback; 1.1.1 fixed more Accessibility Mode faults.
Known limitations
- Verified as an iPhone game. The App Store also lists Mac and Apple Vision compatibility, but the game is marketed as iPhone-only and is not recommended here on those platforms.
- Requires iOS 18 or later.
- Headphones are strongly recommended. Without them, directional audio is much weaker and several games become harder.
- Voice Control and switch input reach menus, but not gameplay, because the games use continuous touch, swipes, or tilt.
- Larger Text applies to menus and start screens, but not all text drawn inside the games.
- I did not find independent documentation that completes and reviews each of the nine games separately. The score is therefore below the top tier.
Price/status
Free. The App Store lists optional tips as in-app purchases; the AppleVis post says tips do not unlock content.
Free iPhone app actively updated on the App Store as of October 2026.
