What about Best Fiends for blindness/low vision accessibility on iPhone?

I've been hearing a lot about the Best Fiends app but have not played it, once again, due to not knowing of its possible accessibility in the iPhone world with VoiceOver. does anyone know about this and whether it's accessable, I mean fully accessable? it sounds like, from the app description, that it wouldn't be accessable. however, look at how Super Tile Smash has overcome that/gained accessibility status.

I just posted something like this recently. I have reached out to the developers of the game and they messaged me back saying they would forward it to the team. Hopefully I can get more people that are blind to reach out to them so that maybe they will do something about it. Right now it’s not at all accessible. I had no idea about that other game you mentioned. Was it not at all accessible and then it became so? I’m curious if it’s a game that would keep my interest

I have no idea why Ashleigh felt it necessary to liken Best Fiends to Super TIle Smash. The developer of Super TIle SMash is the same one who developed Knight Commander and Tank Battle. He is visually impaired and has always developed apps that are accessible to VoiceOver users. The app is fully accessible and says this in the app description. Also, the two games, Super TIle Smash and Best FIends, are two entirely different games and have nothing in common, so I'll be curious to see how this was not a non sequitur.

Well to be honest, I looked at the description of the tile one and it does not seem that interesting to me. Not sure if best fiends would be interesting even if it was made accessible but it looks a lot more entertaining
