Looking for Play Testers - Card Matching Game - Global Accessibility Awareness Day Feature

Hello everyone,

I’ve been working on a new feature for my card-matching game, Ploppy Pairs, for this year’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). For the GAAD week, I’ve added a feature where all card images are hidden by default to encourage players to try VoiceOver and raise awareness about accessibility.

I’ve shared updates about Ploppy Pairs on the iOS gaming forum before, but this time I would like to also let it be fully tested on macOS as well to make sure it's as inclusive as possible on all platforms. I’ve done some testing on my own, but I am sure your expertise and experience can uncover areas for improvement that I might have missed!

The app also includes SharePlay - I’d love to hear your feedback on that as well.

In the TestFlight links below, the new GAAD feature is active all the time, so you can try it out right away without waiting for GAAD week.

Thank you so much for your time and support—I’m really looking forward to your feedback!

I enjoy playing this game on my iPhone. I also have it on the Apple TV, but it's not quite as VoiceOver friendly on the Apple TV. If there's any testing I can do, please let me know. I'd love it if the Apple TV version became as fully accessible as the version on my phone. This is the only semi- accessible game I've found for the apple TV.

Oh thank you very much, happy to hear that you like it!

Also I am super interested in your feedback for Apple TV - I didn't post it in the Apple TV forum as there were not many recent posts there and as I thought not many people play it on Apple TV, especially with VoiceOver.

I have to be honest that I mainly test VoiceOver on iOS and hope that Apple's Multiplatform magic makes it work on all other platforms the same way. Therefore, I am super interested in what bugs you found as I really want to make it fully accessible on all platforms! The link above should also work for Apple TV, so you should be able to test it with that version - would be very helpful to me!

Feel free to either answer here or via email at [email protected] - whatever you prefer. Thanks!

Michael,
Are there still testing slots available?
If so, I'll test it on IOs, IpadOs & MacOs.
I love trying new games & don't believe I've ever played yours before.

@HarmonicaPlayer Thanks for your feedback, just saw it on TestFlight, glad to hear that you like the game and that everything worked for you! :)

@KE8UPE yes, the link should work without any limit, so feel free to just download the game via TestFlight. Thanks for testing it on all those platforms, appreciate your help!
