Accessible Games

Body:
Each month we feature different apps that make different services more
accessible to people with sight loss. We were recently contacted by somebody
asking about games on the computer, tablets and mobile phones that are suitable
for blind people. So here you go, here are a few different games that are
available and accessible to people with sight loss.
Soccer manager for the PC
Soccer manager is an online football manager game played through your web
browser; it is based on real teams and real players and gets its information
from real life databases. It also updates all clubs regularly so you can always
have the latest players available.
The game is free to play although you can buy extras such as the ability to
create your own clubs and play against people across the world.
Soccer manager is quite accessible and you can do most things without any
issues.
Audio Archery for Android and iOS
You can download Audio Archery for free from the iTunes App Store
You can download Audio Archery for free from the Google Play Store
Audio archery brings archery to IOS. Use only your ears and your reflexes to
shoot targets. The game is entirely auditory, so there are no pictures or
icons. You will hear a target move from left to right. When it is centered,
flick down on the screen with one finger to pull back your bow. Release your
finger to fire your arrow.
The game consists of 10 rounds with 7 shots each. Your goal is to meet or
exceed the minimum score given to pass to the next round. Can you pass the
tenth round and become the audio archery champion?
Hangman for iOS
You can download Hangman for free from the iTunes App Store
Hangman is based on the popular word guessing game by the same name. The player
guesses letters in order to uncover the hidden word. But be careful, you only
have a few guesses before you're hanged!
Unlike other versions of Hangman, this one gives the player a few more guesses
by building up the gallows as the player guesses, instead of having them
pre-built.
The two player mode allows you and a friend to play together. One person enters
a word and the other tries to guess it.
The Night Jar for iOS
You can download The Night Jar for £2.99 from the iTunes App Store
The Night Jar is an audio only adventure game that has was nominated for two
BAFTA game awards in 2012. The storyline is you have been stranded on a broken
spacecraft, spiralling towards a black hole. The aim is to get out of trouble!
The Night Jar uses 3D audio technology, with the use of headphones you will be
able to hear where things are coming from.
The game costs £2.99 and is available from the Apple App Store. You will need
a pair of headphones and a minimum of an iPhone 3GS or first generation iPad.
Papa Sangre for iOS
You can download The Night Jar for £2.99 from the iTunes App Store
Papa Sangre is possibly the best known game to blind iOS users. Cited with
many awards since it was launched this game with no video utilises the same 3D
audio technology used in The Night Jar.
The game sees you trapped in Papa Sangre's palace in the afterlife. Your task:
save the soul of someone you love.
The design of the game is very intuitive to use and navigate. There are lots
of different puzzles and dilemmas to solve.
The game costs £2.99 from the iOS app store and will run on any iPad or iPhone
3GS or newer. You will also need a pair of headphones to play the game.
