Hi Christopher, Thanks for the information on the accessibility of the Naval Combat Lite app. I caught this price drop on Naval Combat fairly late in the day; it was free at the time that I posted and for at least a few hours after. But I checked that it was already back to full price at the European app stores even at the time that I posted. And the reason for checking is that this app is posted under the German name of "Seeschlacht" in the Danish app store, which caused confusion when it was discussed at the beginning of the year. So I looked up the app in the Danish app store on my Mac before composing the AppleVis app deal alert, and noted that in the Danish store (and other European stores), the sale price was no longer available. I try to check that apps are really free at the point where you push the button to buy them before I post, so unless an app goes back to full price while I'm typing up my post, the announcements should be good, or I won't bother to post at all.
And if you want sound effects you might try the free "Where's my Rubber Ducky" shooter game. I don't get most of these game apps, so I can only refer to the list discussions I've read. This app is reviewed on the AppleVis site, and here's the link: • Where's My Rubber Ducky by Accessibility Foundation (free): http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wheres-my-rubber-ducky/id515304336?mt=8 (You need to use headphones with this app and shoot at zombies. Disclaimer: I have no direct experience with this app). HTH.
