DESIGNED FOR ACCESSIBILITY

Games With Great Accessibility Features

These games welcome even more players to join the fun.

These thoughtfully designed games go above and beyond to harness the power of iOS accessibility features and put inclusive best practices into play.

Candy Crush Friends Saga

This colorful match-3 puzzler features a crew of sweet friends—a fluffy yeti, an adorable pigtailed kid—who’ll help you solve (and sometimes blast through) levels.

Video description: A menu titled Accessibility in the game Candy Crush Friends Saga is shown, with toggles for the options “Stop end of episode animation,” “Reduce screen shake,” “Remove in-game flashing,” and “Don’t show move hints” switched to “on.” The video cuts to one of the game’s puzzles, a grid of candies in which an unseen player swaps the position of two candies to make a matching row of three. A celebratory animation then plays, showing a festively wrapped box, followed by candy penguins flying across the screen.

Awesome accessibility features: A new menu includes settings designed to alleviate photosensitivity, vertigo, and motion sickness.

Quick tip: Having trouble clearing a level? Try making matches from the bottom of the screen first.

Lost in Blindness

Break out your headphones for an audio-only adventure built from the ground up for people who are blind or who have low vision. As a blind archeologist exploring a mysterious Mayan temple deep in the rain forest, you use sounds—rustling grass, a knock on the door—to orient yourself while companions describe the scene around you.

Video description: An entirely black screen—with the exception of a white diamond in the center—is shown from the game Lost in Blindness. There are concentric white circles around the triangle that radiate outward, then fade. Small dots appear on either side as the unseen player touches the screen.

Awesome accessibility features: Virtually everything in this game is expressed through voice-over and sound effects. To move your character around this mysterious world, you swipe the sides of your screen.

Quick tip: Be sure to take note of audio landmarks as you explore to keep track of where you’ve already been.

Among Us!

Everyone is a suspect in this multiplayer game and App Store Editors’ Choice selection. Set aboard a damaged spaceship, each match is a riveting mystery, whether you’re a Crewmate making quick repairs or an Impostor taking out key systems (and unsuspecting players).

Video description: A blue character from the game Among Us! is wearing a pointy hat and running to an electrical panel aboard a spaceship. This launches a mini-game in which the player connects wires according to their color and symbol. The player successfully connects all four wires to complete the game.

Awesome accessibility features: Large, high-contrast text improves readability. Thanks to player feedback, developer Innersloth added accessories (like hats) that help color-blind players differentiate characters. The Quick Chat wheel lets you level an accusation with a few taps instead of having to type letters.

Quick tip: According to Innersloth, Crewmates are most vulnerable in the Electrical room. Be careful when you’re fixing the lights!

Minecraft

Castles, amusement parks, underground hideouts, spaceships—there’s no limit to what you can create in this legendary sandbox. Thanks to a slew of updates, Minecraft is more accessible than ever.

Awesome accessibility features: Adjust text opacity, turn on text-to-speech, toggle off camera shake, and more by visiting the accessibility section in the settings menu.

Quick tip: Overwhelmed by enemies? Head to a mushroom field—it’s one of the few places mobs can’t spawn.

Eldrum: Untold

After you wake up alone on the beach, the next choices you make—like where you go and who you talk to—will determine your fate in this smartly written text adventure.

Video description: One of the choices a player must make to progress the story in the game Eldrum: Untold is shown. The text reads, “The sunlit ruins of Dusk Megalith are located on a mountainous plateau, overlooking the forest highlands to the south.” The options are: “Talk to Rasleen,” “Explore the eastern ruins,” and “Enter the cavern.”

Awesome accessibility features: VoiceOver support makes it a great pick for players who are blind or who have low vision.

Quick tip: Expect to fail a few times at the start—at least until you figure out you need to build your agility before trying to dodge a Druid assassin!
