With #FediJam nearing its deadline, I've been working on customization and accessibility options for my game. ๐Ÿ™‚

Yes, it's a game jam, and this is one area of many where jam games typically cut quality corners to save dev time. But accessibility has kinda become part of my personal brand, so I don't want to skimp here.

It's a dexterity game, which won't appeal to everyone. But the goal is that anyone can at least try it.
