Accessibility
- The itch.io page describes the game as keyboard accessible, screen-reader friendly, and blind friendly.
- The game HTML includes a skip link, semantic sections, buttons, a labelled text input, and polite/assertive live regions for screen-reader messages.
- First launch shows a keyboard-operable notice about headphones, moderate volume, and turning off character/keyboard echo so the screen reader does not cover the game audio.
- Enemies start far away and quiet, get louder as they approach, and speak the word you need to type.
- A sound page lets you test left/middle/right, enemy sounds, weapon, hit, miss, wave end, death, and win sounds before starting.
- Gameplay uses a labelled text field: type the word you hear and press Enter to shoot.
Known limitations
- Accessibility is assessed from the developer page, jam submission, and direct HTML/JavaScript inspection; I found no independent blind-player test or comments at publication time.
- On itch.io you must first activate Run game and move focus into the game frame. If the screen reader remains outside the frame, try Tab or your browser’s frame/focus navigation.
- The game requires careful listening, English speech, headphones, and preferably disabled character/keyboard echo while typing.
- This is a short jam game lasting a few minutes, not a large finished game.
- Norwegian language support is not confirmed.
