16 Accessibility Features

We've documented 16 accessibility features for Color Jumper, including Large Text, No Button Combos, No Repeated Pressing, No Holds and Play Without Hearing.

Once you have found potential games on the database, there are excellent specialist accessibility sites that offer in-depth reviews to guide your purchasing decisions.

Color Jumper is a running and jumping game where you control a square. Each side of the square has a different colour and rotates each time you jump. To get through a level you can only use platforms that are white or match your current colour. This creates a novel puzzle and skill challenge that is intentionally difficult.

Our accessibility examiner, Jo Robertson, first checked Color Jumper accessibility 2 years ago.

Accessibility Notes

There are no difficulty settings, although you can skip levels if you are stuck. Although you can't remap the controls you can use either the Left stick or D-pad to control movement, and any of the face buttons to control jumping.

The art style is intentionally bright and high contrast. You can turn off the ghosts that represent previous runs if they are distracting.

Reading

We've documented 3 accessibility features for Reading in Color Jumper which deal with how much reading or listening comprehension is required, how well the game provides visual and audible access to the text and whether subtitles and captions are a good fit for purpose.

Reading Level

How much reading is required to play the game's main path or story and how complex the language is. The presence of voiced characters doesn't reduce this requirement, as it's recorded as a separate datapoint.

No Reading: No reading is required, other than simple menus. The game either has no text or can communicate textual content with visuals and interactions. If reading isn't required because the text is voiced the All Dialogue is Voiced feature indicates this.

Text Visibility

Large Clear Text: All essential text is large and clear or can be adjusted to be. The general text used throughout the game in menus, instructions and other key information (excluding subtitles that are assessed separately) is at least 1/20 (46 pixels on 1080 screen) the height on landscape screens and at least 1/40 height on portrait screens. We base this on the full line-height, including the space above and below the letters.

Subtitles

All Speech Subtitled (Or No Speech In Game): All spoken content has subtitles, or there is no speech in the game. This means there is no requirement to hear spoken dialogue or narrative to play the game.
