Accessibility Notes
Most of the important elements of the game are large. Because you mainly play on a mobile phone you can bring that screen closer to make elements larger.
You need to use a single stick and button to get the game started, but apart from this you can play with a single tap or gesture (for drawing games) on your smartphone.
Although you do not need quick reactions to complete the challenges, you are on the clock so they are not low pressure.
