Description of appWant a challenging maze game? How about one
that's also a game for your child? Children will LOVE the
simple, visible mazes for the sounds and animation.
All will enjoy solving more difficult invisible mazes. People
who are visually impaired will be on equal footing with others
with the help of VoiceOver.
You have discovered precious silver in the earth! Your job is to
drag your precious silver balls up 5 levels to the surface,
moving blindly up through the ground to Freedom and fresh air!
Enjoy 3 maze types, with 3 skill levels per type. Fun for
children or even a genius!
Three type of mazes:
Completely Visible mazes, especially good for developing a
child's coordination and analytical skills.
"Progress" mazes which start out Invisible. When a ball is
dragged across an invisible wall, the ball falls to its starting
position, a small explosion occurs at the wall, and the wall is
displayed and remains that way.
Invisible mazes that remain completely invisible. Only
explosions and the ball dropping will be your clues to the
location of walls. You can find your way through trial and
error, but you will need to rely on your memory and spatial
visualization.
Surely there is a level of difficulty for everyone, or for every
occasion. Whether you just want to enjoy the game play, sounds,
and animations-- or whether you really want a challenge.
Enjoy your Blind Earth Escape!
Only 5 rows of walls separate you from your goal. And there are
only 4 columns in which to move. But when the walls are
invisible, try remembering the successful steps you've taken, or
determining when you must be headed for a dead end. I dare you!
Choose 1 of 3 ball movement sounds. They provide additional
feedback when exploring an invisible maze.

and iPod Touch app that is displayed in 2x mode on an

CommentsAs the description suggests, the app is fully accessible.
The developers really put in a lot of work into this. Each single
control has a clear hint, and the very first screen has a small
guide for voiceover users on the app layout.

games, but I find this quite fun to do. The sound design is
really nice and VO doesn't need to be turned off to play.
