Hello All!
I am very interested in games that involve food (For example the Fair Food Maker Game and the More _! series of games from Maverix). I searched on the AppleVis Ios app directory, and found many seemingly accessible food games, however they were all very old and had little to no comments to suggest how accessible they are now. I am wondering if anybody can suggest food games that are accessible to VO users as of now?
Thanks in advance!

would be interested in this as well
I prefer games that work with voice over rather than self voicing.
Also interested
Many of the Maverix games are still around and work well enough. There is also Sushi Go, which is a card style game, rather fun. I too though am always on the lookout for games to do with food, so will be watching this thread.
Great To know That!
I think that means you're saying the maverick games are good, right? On most of the App Directory Ratings they didn't do so good, does that mean they improved? If so, which ones in particular? Or all of them? Thank you for your response!
Many, not all.
I believe it's cupcakes, breakfast, holiday dinner, noodles, blender, grillin, popcorn and sundaes. Not entirely positive, though.
Thank you!
I'll let you know how it goes.
Cupcakes
I just bought the cupcakes app. The only issues are the following:
The place where you save cupcakes is not very accessible. If you try to drag the cupcake into a slot it doesn't give you audible feedback that you can stop.
The oven dial isn't accessible. The default time is 30 minutes, and that has been working for me.
I will keep on updating this, adding things or removing them.
More Sundaes review + comments
Sundaes is pretty much the same as cupcakes , but you can only make one at a time. Also, making homemade ice cream is still about hard, just like cupcakes. At one point I found an unlableed button which turned out to be a picture of a bunny that wins you an achievment and gets you 50 points. So by all means if you find a unlabeled button click on it! Trust me, you'll thank me for it! Otherwise all buttons are labeled. There is one image that doesn't have a lbel that is just a click, and maybe some "possible text" that says something like "Bowl cone cone cone cone" most of the time. This is your ice cream. If the app directory for this were to be updated (which I hope it will) this is what I'd think to say:
VoiceOver reads all page elements
Most buttons are clearly labeled
There are some minor accessibility issues with this app, but they are easy to deal with.
Revisiting
Wanna get this post back up and runnin'! So, I have Cupcakes and Sundaes and they're both relatively accessible. So, anyone know about any other accessible Maverick apps?
More Blender
The blender is not recognized by voiceover at all, which means I have to turn off VO and tap in a very certain place and drag down. To make matters worse when I go to drink, it says to "Tilt or tap the pitcher to pour!" (Sidenote: why do these people use so many exclamation points in their apps?) and no matter what I tried VO on or off, couldn't get it to work.
Just as I suspected.
Also, maverick hasn't been active in years, not even answering my emails from a while ago, so I don't have hope of it getting better. Sad, because Maverick seemed to have been the only dev who thought to make their games a little more accessible. I could rant about this for hours, so I'm going to stop now
