Accessibility
- The AppleVis test says the iPhone version is fully accessible and playable with VoiceOver, with all elements read and all buttons clearly labelled.
- The App Store describes full VoiceOver support: explore the board by touch and build chains either by dragging or one tap at a time.
- Version 2026.9 adds an interactive tutorial on iPhone and Apple Watch, so chain rules can be practised on a real board before score play.
- VoiceOver announces when a run ends or pauses, according to the release notes.
- Bomb tiles have stronger haptic feedback in 2026.9, and the App Store lists dark interface, non-colour distinctions, sufficient contrast, and reduced motion.
Known limitations
- The AppleVis test I found is for iPhone. iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro are listed by the App Store, but should be tested separately for blind playability.
- This is a timed puzzle: the turn timer does not stop, and the pace increases the longer you survive.
- The game is free with ads. The Remove Ads purchase removes them; ads may interrupt the experience if not removed.
- Norwegian language support is not confirmed.
Price/status
