Of the games I've tried, Dear Reader is the only one which is remotely accessible. Other games have some accessibility controls added but not enough to make them playable. One example of this is a simplistic Solitaire game made by Mobile Ware. I am able to bring up a screen to play the game, but then the cards are not visible to play. I am able to access some controls by swiping around, and one of them has rotor actions available, so perhaps some thought was given to access. It also helps to have Screen Recognition turned on for some of the games. I have been in contact with the Dear Reader group and have given them ideas of areas to improve the game. If anyone is interested in giving them constructive feedback, their email address is: [email protected] I am hanging onto my Arcade subscription in hopes that Dear Reader becomes fully accessible. If I can offer a constructive opinion: Though Apple highly promotes their hardware and software as being accessible, there seems to be a disconnect in accessibility on Apple Arcade. Some games are partly accessible, but are also missing some pieces. A good example is Word Laces. One can start the tutorial, but only 2 of the 4 letters are visible to create the first word. As I mentioned before, having a newer phone, like the XR or later, helps since one can use the various Recognition options. These at least make parts of the game visible but not enough to add any play value. I never thought I'd say this, but I wish Apple would require accessibility of games before putting them on Arcade. Granted, not all games can be made accessible, but adding the requirement might bring awareness for many developers. Just my thoughts.
