Accessibility Comments

Totally unique and worth the wait.

This is the first app that I have ever used that seems to be aware of VoiceOver, as it told me to disable VoiceOver when I started the app. The app also told me when I needed to enable VoiceOver again.

The app itself is easy to use, as the start/continue button is in the center of the screen.

I have only just started to play te game, but have little doubt that it will be fully accessible.

Highly recommended!

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labelling

All buttons are clearly labelled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver, but the interface could be easier to navigate and use.

#2 responding to the prior poster

Submitted by marrie on 25 December 2010.

I have never played the game but if you beat all 25 levels in a few minutes then to me the game has no game play after that. Now maybe if they came out with a sequel? lol! I've seen some good podcasts on it and I am impressed!

#3 It's Not Getting Old After Five Days Of Play! :)

Submitted by Teresa on 12 January 2011.

I played all twenty-five levels within a day, staying up till five in the morning to do it. LOL (Yes, I think it's that good. It's so interesting that I replay levels that I like, and it's also possible to pick the ones you want. Very rich setting; just an absolute stunner.

#4 playability

Submitted by Peter Mahach on 13 January 2011.

I must agree. If you beat all 25 levels there's nothing wrong with playing it again, just doing things differently, IE playing the papa says level by just running at the notes rather than following the fluttery watery thing. or just running around like mad annoying the monsters.

#5 IOS 5.0

Attention: This game currently does not work under IOS 5.0. The developers are trying to fix this problem. I am in touch with the developer at this time. At this time it will only work under the IOS 4.x versions of the device. I will update this page when an update is avaiable.

#6 Update v1.1.2

Submitted by AnonyMouse on 14 November 2011.

The developer has released a new update of v1.1.2 to fix the audio issues with IOS 5. I must admit it is not nearly as bad as it was but I'm still having a lot of static in my game play. I am curious if anyone else is having this problem besides me even though the developer has specifically mentioned that it is now IOS 5 friendly?

#7 Same Stadic In the Earphones.

Submitted by Deng on 15 November 2011.

Hi, I am having the same problems with the static sounds in my earphones. I thought it was just my earphones, so i switched to my DJ-Styled headphones. The sounds were still heard. The only way that i can make the sound stop was to keep my finger on the compass and slide around to make the character look around. Then when i let go of my finger, the static sounds will come back. So, the game is still not playable, because it is very hard to hear the musical notes as you run around the different areas.

#8 Something else I found out.

Submitted by Deng on 15 November 2011.

Sorry for commenting so much on this post, but when I tried to go and write a review for this game in the appStore, the game was nowhere to be found. I tried searching for the game, and there were no results. I wonder why this is?

#9 Static Noises

Submitted by AnonyMouse on 15 November 2011.
Member of the AppleVis Editorial Team

Thanks for the verification on the static noise. This game is still unusable at this time with v1.1.2. Hopefully, this will be resolved soon.

As for this game not being listed. Not sure what to say other than I was able to find it via the iTunes. So the game is still listed in the United States iTunes at least.

The developer has released v1.13. It now works great in the IOS 5. No more static. The developer has said they have even enchance the sounds with the iPhone 4. I will have to see what they mean. Just glad to have her back up running normally again!

#11 Yes!

Submitted by billip on 7 December 2011.

I downloaded Papa Sangre a few weeks ago knowing it is broken. I found it after having a similar idea for a game. I had hopes that they would push out an update that would fix the static. I am super excited to download the update! Thanks to all here for updating me.
