Accessibility Comments

Overall this app is pretty accessible, but there are some issues with it. currently it is completely impossible to fish manually, but you can use fishing nets to catch things.
Currently it also doesn't seem possible to buy steaks or hire charters. I hit the go button and nothing happens.
Some screens also tend to overlap. There are also confirmation alerts that VO doesn’t automatically focus on.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

There are some accessibility issues with this app, but it can still be used if you are willing to tolerate these issues and learn how to work around them.

Other Comments

This is a super fun game that a lot of people on an accessible games Facebook group play, and i discovered it there. The dev is very receptive and is working on making the game more accessible for us.
My username is LifezVictory. Feel free to send me a message in the game and I'll do what I can to help.
This entry has helped people discover the game, so I figure it would be good to provide my referralcode. It's 0C4AA1, without the comma. Type that in when you sign up, and I would be very grateful.

How do you use your fishing net?

By DrummerGuy

4 months ago

Since fishing manually has proven impossible for the time being, I bought a fishing net but I don't see how it can be used.
I would appreciate some help with it.
Maybe I cannot use it in this little pond. Perhaps I would need to fish in a bigger place but, if I don't fish here then I won't be able to fish anywhere because I won't have a chance at increasing my fishing skill level.
Thank you for your help. :-)

Re: DrummerGuy

To use the fishing net, go to the pond and find where it says how many you have beneath the description of the pond. When you double tap on that, a confirmation pop up will appear at the bottom of the screen, but it won’t be automatically focused on with VO so you’ll have to navigate to it, directly touching it is the best way.
Once you hit yes, the net will be used and a pop up in the middle of the screen will appear showing you what you caught. None of them will be labeled though so you’ll have to hit okay to dismiss the alert and go to your inventory to see.

Exploring broke

By Ana Jacob

Is exploring no longer accessible after buying the upgrades that use more stamina? It used to show me what I found in text, but now it’s just inaccessible images. Anyone else experience this?

Is the dev still working on accessibility improvements?

Exploring And Fishing

By Earle

Exploring is still working for me. I also wanted to point out that you can go to town and hire a charter to fish.

@Zoe Victoria:

Thank you for explaining how to use the fishing net.
I have done it and I've been having so much fun.
Now, if I may ask another question, I would love to know how to hire a charter so that he can fish for me?
Do I need to reach a certain level in order to do that?
By the way, how about the market District?
I was trying to buy some steaks but it appears to be impossible for me.
Have you tried it?
Thank you and, I apologize for I said it would be one more question and I have asked more than one.
Have a great day. :-)

tried this on pc,

By dark

Hi.

I thought this one sounded familiar, I remember trying the pc version a couple of years ago, which can be found on the above website, but after going through the tutorial, found fishing utterly inaccessible, thus making it impossible to progress through the tutorial tasks, so I never got far with the game over all, nice to know there is at least some degree of workaround, albeit it would be nice if the dev would fix fishing a bit more permanently, since if I remember rightly there were some achievements and other things only getable via manual fishing, and inaccessible activities in games are always a bit of a bummer.

Still nice to know there's a work around, I've been fancying a halfway decent farm game for a while so I'll check this one out, and hopefully with a few more people on board the fishing will be in some way fixed.

Gold and fishing

By dark

4 months ago

Okay I have been playing on pc, though I assume the Ios version works the same way.

The good news is, yes, you can use fishing nets and hire fishing charters in town to catch fish without having to do the silly click the circle inaccessible rubbish.

The bad news is, both of these methods cost gold, which is the game's premium and reward currency, and is used for stuff like unlocking permeant upgrades.

Given the amount of stuff that seems to be buyable with gold, I presume one can earn it by playing, but given it's the game's premium currency, there's going to be some degree of limit on this, though how much I've not determined as yet.

So the bottom line, yes there are accessible ways of fishing, but in both game terms, and indeed rl terms, they're probably expensive, so if the developer could create an accessible fishing alternative that would indeed be very much appreciated.

On the plus side, everything else seems just as accessible on pc as Ios, which is indeed a good thing.

Still not able to hire fishing charters.

Fishing skill is at level 17 now and yet I remain unable to hire chargers.
Am I doing something wrong?

hiring charters

By dark

4 months ago

You should be able to hire charters in town.
It's one of the options along with country store, farm market, flee market museum etc.
There's one option for fishing charters and one option for exploration charters.

I recently figured out that…

By Zoe Victoria

I recently figured out that you can locate the go button with direct touch, turn off voiceover, tap it, then turn voiceover on again to confirm at the bottom of the screen. Hopefully this helps people out because it really helped me.On Hiring Charters And Other Inaccessible Go Buttons

@Zoe Victoria:

By DrummerGuy

4 months ago

Thank you. I was able to figure out another way to do this:
Locate the "go "button with direct touch, then double tap and hold with one finger for half a second.
Then go to the bottom of the screen and you will find the "yes" button or "OK" button.
To do this voiceover doesn't need to be turned off.
I will try it your way to see if it is more effective than what I have just described.
On another note, I am absolutely loving this game.
I am glad that the developer is very receptive and is taking steps towards making this game more accessible.
I hope we are able to fish manually because they have some pretty good achievements that I would like to unlock that way.
Also, I would love to try my luck at breaking codes.
There are other things that I would like to be able to do in this game but I just cannot think of them right now.
However, this game is awesome.
I will look you up in the game.

I’m lost without starting yet

By Karina Velazquez

Hi guys, it seems like you are having a great time playing this game, but I don’t know where to start. There are a lot of things I’m just trying to figure out but I don’t get it.
Other thing that scares me is that there are not sounds at least for the few things I have done like change my user name.
Hope I find out what to do soon.

another game by same dev?

By anouk85

4 months ago

Hello, really enjoying this game. Very addictive. Playing it in browser for 2 days. It does require some creativity when navigating but everything besides manual fishing seems to work well. I contacted the dev about that and they do want to make it accessible. Now I was listening to a youtube channel about this game and the guy mentioned a game that apparently is by the same dev and text based:
titan conquest there are apps for it as well
https://titanconquest.com/
I havent gotten anywhere with it yet but the user interface does seem to be the same.
Greetings, Anouk,

Manual fishing with mealworms

By Jessica

3 months 3 weeks ago

Not sure I am spelling meal worms right.
But anyway.
When you get some meal worms. You can manually fish. Although sadly this still does not get you the streak stuff.
It could also be a bit more accessible. I don’t like manual fishing. I prefer with the nets.
But sometimes daily chores has it listed and sometimes for whatever reason certain fish seem to be caught only manual fishing. Although they are extremely few.
Anyway here is how I do it.
You have to get some meal worms though.
There are images when you select a fishing location.
I don’t even bother to read the image descriptions. The images your looking for though are around the middle of the screen.
Basically its a drag your finger across that part of the screen looking for an image. When you have it double tap right away.
Keep doing this and I assure you if you have meal worms selected you will catch fish. Filling those non-streak based fishing achievements up slowly. But filling them.

BTW. This method works with the rest of manual fishing too. But the final step on the manual fishing there is a moving dot. That is essentially what makes most manual fishing inaccessible to us.
I have talked with firestream about this issue as well as well as the weird button issue where you have to turn voiceover off and back on again to hit a button. Such an easy issue to fix. I am wondering if using the website might make those buttons more accessible.
The ones that come to mind are:
The wishing well
The charter and expedition area
The stake and kabob area.
And maybe another area or two.
But the game is mostly accessible. Its amazing actually how well it works.
Sure the interface could be a bit easier. And you might (like I did) require some assistance by a sighted person. But my hopes are if enough of us politely contact the developer about these seemingly easy issues to fix they will be fixed.
The button issue I think quite simply is a matter of changing the button type to a link or a button. Right now it seems to be both which might be the issue. I am not sure. I am going only based on the info voiceover gives.
And a sighted person tried to help me on one screen. The craft works screen. So I will try their suggestion. But honestly that currently requires me turning voiceover off and back on again which I do not like doing.
But anyway.
Sorry for the length. But I love this game.

Before I register, I have questions

By DMNagel

What’s the deal with multiplayer? What kind of multiplayer activities/interactions, if any, are there?

stuck from the start

By Sabrina

I really love the game style but can't figure out how to do the plant things.

Multiplayer

By Zoe Victoria

3 months 3 weeks ago

You can give and exchange items, and chat with people. You also contribute to a daily community center goal where you donate items and, if the amount is met, every player can claim a reward if they have donated.

Planting

By Zoe Victoria

3 months 3 weeks ago

There are two different ways you can plant seeds. The first way is by selecting the seeds you want to plant from the pop-up menu, and then find the group of links in the center to bottom of the screen labeled ‘plant’. Double tap one of those, and a seed will be planted And you’ll be able to tell by the unlabeled image replacing the link. Double tap the image once the time has gone by to harvest it. Or use the harvester link near the top of the screen. The second one is using the plant all link. If you double tap, that, a confirmation pop-up will appear at the bottom of the screen, but will not be automatically focused on with voiceover. You will need to navigate to it. Hit yes and then all Available plots will be filled with something.

I am definitely having a great time with this game.

By DrummerGuy

3 months 3 weeks ago

I have decided to take a little breath from fighting games and got myself into playing something different. By the way, I have to say that I love farm RPG. It is awesome. Having a wonderful time.
I hope the developer keeps improving the game accessibilities.
I would love to be able to fish manually, and to unlock the achievements. Get myself a fishing streak. Also, I want to be able to crack open the vaults.

Titan conquest and manual fishing

By dark

2 months 1 week ago

IWondering how manual fishing is going.

titan conquest, the other game, I found ridiculously complicated with it's interface, so much so it made the game really annoying to play, however farm rpg seems much better, so I'm wondering if matters improved.

There was some talk about fixing titan conquest a few years ago, so maybe that did get done, and it'd be great if manual fishing was possible.

no longer necessary to manually fish

By Ray Rucker

It is no longer necessary to manually fish. You can donate items to the temple to earn gold fish as rewards. I saw this on Redit.

fix to manual fishing?

By dark

1 week ago

Any news on a manual fish fix?

I was enjoying the web version of the game but got stuck there on the tutorial, and while I know there are workarounds, I thought the developer was looking into something a bit more permenant.
