Blindfold Bowling: A Fully Accessible Audio Game for Visually Impaired Users
Blindfold Bowling, developed by Marty Schultz, is a fully accessible audio game designed for visually impaired individuals. This game is part of the Blindfold Games series, which aims to provide entertainment for the visually impaired community.
Similar to traditional ten pin bowling, Blindfold Bowling offers a range of gameplay options. Players can choose to play solo, compete against computer opponents, or enjoy a side-by-side multiplayer experience.
Controlling the game is intuitive and user-friendly. Players can throw the bowling ball by flicking with one finger, aiming with one finger and flicking, or setting the exact angle with their thumb and forefinger before flicking. The speed of the flick determines the ball's velocity.
As you play, you'll hear the ball rolling down the alley and the satisfying sound of pins being knocked down. Just like in real bowling, you can achieve strikes, spares, or even gutter balls. Additionally, Blindfold Bowling allows you to share your high scores on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
Blindfold Bowling was inspired by the feedback of blind gamers who enjoyed other Blindfold Games such as Blindfold Pong and Blindfold Spades. The game also offers several in-app upgrades, including a starter pack for unlimited play, the ability to customize your ball and pins for added challenge, the option to select and customize your competitors, and a side-by-side multiplayer mode.
