Following on from my recent post about Android low vision games
(http://qchristensen.wordpress.com/2014/03/05/low-vision-games/), I
thought I would follow up with one for Talkback users as well – of
course low vision or even fully sighted users can enjoy these games
just as much! I've roughly categorised them below, but aside from
that they are in no particular order.
*Word / Number games:*

Tap (or double tap) to start.
Simple Simon
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simon
Free
Simon memory game. The four buttons (8 in advanced mode) simply say
button, so require a bit of practice to remember which button is
which sound, otherwise it works with Talkback.
There were several games which I wanted to mention but which I had
issues with when I tried them:
*B Blind:* A clever maze game which vibrates as you get close to the
walls. It has buttons to get into the game and select a level which
are completely invisible to Talkback so you need sight to get into it.
*Seenesthesis:* drag your finger around the screen and with feedback,
guess the shapes. The menu works with Talkback, but once you are in
it, the levels only work with Talkback off.
*Rockets and Pumpkins:* input velocity and angle to shoot the
pumpkin. With Talkback on the instructions aren’t read out. Also
can’t double tap (triple tap) with both talkback and magnifier on
Know any more games which work with Talkback? Please let everyone
know in the comments below!
