Accessibility Notes
while all of the text is high contrast, some of it is very small, making it difficult to read.
The levels are designed to be fairly linear, making it difficult to get lost, but there are occasions on some levels where it can be difficult to spot where to go next.
Because all of the information in the game is presented visually or textually, you don't need sound to play the game.
