16 Accessibility Features

We've documented 16 accessibility features for Little Hellions, including Remap Buttons, Play Without Hearing, Colour Blind Friendly, Audio Cues and Fully Subtitled (Or No Speech). Its accessibility is strongest in Visual and Controls but it also has features in Getting Started, Reading and Audio to reduce unintended barriers.

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.

Little Hellions is a retro brawling game where you can't actually fight the other players directly. You kill the other players by putting yourself in harms way and then using your hook-shot to switch places at the last minute. Like Towerfall, it's not much to look at, but offers unusual knife-edge combat with an indirect-combat twist.
