Urgent updates to the accessibility for this game
Subject: Urgent Feature Request: VoiceOver Compatibility Updates for Galactic Colonies
Dear Metal Pop Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
First and foremost, thank you for your incredible work on **Galactic Colonies**. It is a fantastic game with immense potential. I am reaching out to you today with an urgent request regarding accessibility, specifically concerning **VoiceOver (screen reader) compatibility** for visually impaired players.
Currently, the game's interface presents significant barriers for players who rely on text-to-speech technology. To make Galactic Colonies fully accessible and inclusive, we urgently request the integration of the following updates:
### 1. Accessible UI Elements & Labeling
* **Button Labeling:** Ensure all graphical buttons, icons, and interactive elements have clear, descriptive text labels embedded in the code (e.g., instead of a screen reader saying *"Button,"* it should say *"Build Colony Button"* or *"Resource Market"*).
* **Dynamic Text Support:** Ensure that menus, resource counters, and colony stats can be read sequentially by assistive technologies.
### 2. Streamlined Navigation
* **Focus Order:** Implement a logical swipe/navigation order so that VoiceOver users can navigate through menus, pop-ups, and upgrading systems seamlessly from top to bottom, left to right.
* **Pop-up Alerts:** When a prompt or a new event window appears on the screen, the VoiceOver focus should automatically shift to that pop-up so the player knows an action is required.
### 3. Audio & Haptic Feedback
* **Text-to-Speech Summaries:** Provide short, spoken summaries for major text blocks, such as mission briefings, planetary descriptions, or tutorial steps.
* **Sound Cues:** Add distinct audio or haptic cues for successful actions (e.g., successful building placement, resource collection, or insufficient funds).
Making these adjustments would not only open up Galactic Colonies to a deeply passionate and loyal community of gamers with visual impairments, but it would also set a high standard for accessibility in the strategy gaming genre.
We love your game and want to ensure that everyone, regardless of their visual abilities, can experience the joy of building galactic empires.
Thank you for your time, dedication, and consideration of this urgent matter. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on implementing these accessibility features.
Warm regards,

**Subject:** Urgent Accessibility Improvement Request: Full Screen Reader / VoiceOver Support for Galactic Colonies Metal Pop
Dear Developer,
I hope this message finds you well.
First of all, thank you for your hard work on **Galactic Colonies Metal Pop**. It is a fantastic concept with great potential. I am reaching out to you today to urgently request some critical accessibility updates that would make the game fully playable for visually impaired and blind gamers.
Currently, the game lacks full compatibility with screen readers (like VoiceOver on iOS or TalkBack on Android). With a few adjustments, you can open up your game to an incredibly passionate and loyal community of players who love strategy and colony-building games but are often excluded due to interface barriers.
Here are the urgent updates needed to achieve full accessibility:
1. **Unlabeled Buttons:** Ensure all graphical buttons, icons, and menus have text labels or descriptive traits embedded in the code so screen readers can announce their functions (e.g., "Build Button," "Resource Count").
2. **Accessible Navigation:** Implement a clear swipe/navigation order so screen reader users can move logically through UI elements, pop-ups, and upgrading screens.
3. **Dynamic Text & Status Updates:** Ensure that changing values (such as resource production, colony status, and timers) are read aloud when focused or updated.
4. **Accessible Sliders/Sliders Control:** Make sure that adjusters for production or trading can be manipulated easily using standard accessibility gestures.
Investing a little time into accessibility not only expands your player base significantly but also sets a wonderful standard in indie game development.
Thank you so much for your time, dedication, and for considering this urgent request. I am more than happy to help test any beta builds or provide detailed feedback regarding accessibility if needed.
Looking forward to your positive response.
Best regards,

Hello **@Developer** (أو اكتب معرف المطور إذا كنت تعرفه),
First, thank you for creating **Galactic Colonies Metal Pop**! It’s a great game. I’m reaching out to urgently request some critical updates regarding **Accessibility** to make the game fully compatible with **Screen Readers (VoiceOver/TalkBack)** for visually impaired players.
Right now, the game is highly inaccessible due to some UI barriers. Here are the most urgent fixes needed:
* **Labeling Elements:** All buttons, icons, and resource menus need proper text labels so screen readers can read them aloud instead of staying silent.
* **UI Navigation:** Ensure a logical swipe/navigation flow through menus, upgrades, and pop-up screens.
* **Live Updates:** Resource counters and timers should be accessible and read aloud when focused.
The visually impaired gaming community loves deep strategy and colony-building games, and making these tweaks would open your game to a whole new, dedicated audience!

No issues
It doesn’t compared with voiceover, but it has its own screen reader which is something I think it’s a pretty fun game and so does my friend we both enjoy the game
Urgent updates to the accessibility for this game
Hello Galactic Colonies Development Team,
I hope you are doing well.
I am writing to kindly request an **urgent accessibility update** for the game *Galactic Colonies*. Currently, the game is not fully compatible with **VoiceOver**, the screen reader used on **iOS** devices. This makes it very difficult for blind and visually impaired players to access and enjoy the game.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could consider improving the game's accessibility by ensuring that all menus, buttons, and in-game elements are properly labeled and fully compatible with VoiceOver. Full VoiceOver support would allow many more players to experience and enjoy Galactic Colonies.
Accessibility is very important, and adding proper support would make the game more inclusive for everyone.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and I hope to see accessibility improvements in a future update.

Accessibility
Accessibility is pretty great, however I did find an issue where, in the research lab, it says I have completed 105/111 projects, but when I try to go find the uncompleted ones, they all show up as completed. However, when I had a sited person help me out, they found the ones that haven’t been completed yet. Additionally, I activated the skill that should allow me to complete exploration and construction using energy cells, but I cannot find how to use that skill. I also just found out that when accessibility is off, you have the ability to destroy any accidentally created buildings by long pressing on them for a few seconds, but you cannot do that with the accessibility turned on. I’d like this feature to be available for us blind users as well.

Juego entretenido
Tiene ramas de desbloqueo Qe te matienen adentrado al juego.
Accessibility
It’s a pretty great game, and the accessibility mode works well. The newest update, however, seems to have broken the compatibility with voiceover’s direct touch feature, but other than that, it is pretty stable.
New version not accessible for blind users
This game used to be fun, but it’s no longer accessible for blind people. The new version that just came out on November 21, is not playable.
Хотелось быулучшений
Здравствуйте уважаемые разработчики захожу в магазин Imre за просмотр раньше давали пять энерго ячеек за просмотр рекламы сейчас такого нет написано там нет таких объявлений исправьте пожалуйста если это возможно
Almost Perfect
I love this game, it's so clever and fun and I don't get board playing it. That being said, there is a major accessibility flaw that makes the game significantly more annoying. For some reason, the colony map does not stay consistent and it is all in one straight line so it's impossible to tell what regions or buildings are actually next to each other because they keep moving around and they're not listed in a grid. This wouldn't be a big deal except the game makes it a big deal because if you put a living too close to an industrial building like a resource collector or a factory lowers the number of colonists that can be in your headquarters. I kept this in mind and I put my gas collector very far away from my headquarter only to discover that oops apparently it was right next to it, I could tell. That being said I'm pretty sure this game has been abandoned though, but if anyone ever picks it back up, I would love more opportunities to earn energy cells as well! But again, probably gonna keep playing this game and I love it just some minor suggestions that would help the game immensely improve if anyone actually cares.

Ein sehr schönes Spiel,aber
Ich bin Vollblind und auf Voice over angewiesen. Im Spiel ist es leider nicht möglich neue Gebiete am Rand der Karte zu erforschen.
Deswegen nur zwei Sterne.

level 10 bogs 2 and beyond.
Not recommended for voiceover users
third mission after crystals are found game lies when extractors cannot be built since no crystals are in either area. if not enough cash is on hand yet and aI was told that I would not have abandoned the planet and deleted the game. all game developers should regularly track their delete counts since high delete counts point at quality problems of one sort or another .

What an amazing and amusing game.
What a cool and interesting game. I'm actually surprised that people in the reviews say that this is not as good as they hoped for. But to me, it's a very, very good game. You need to be able to manage your money correctly to be able to buy all the required things.
And also, thank you very, very much for making this app accessible for visually impaired people. It is indeed, very much appreciated.
Thank you for reading this, if you actually read it.
Over all, an amazing and good game.

Fun game but needs updated
As I said, in the title, this game is fun, but it needs updated. In fact, it hasn’t been updated in two years. We’re on iOS 17 now, not iOS 15. I want to see this game continue, but it looks like it’s been abandoned. Please update the game. It’s fun to play, and it’s accessible to the blind.
Vraiment chouette.
Jeu vraiment sympa, avec ce qu'il faut de musique et de sons sans qu'ils soient envahissant. Encore quelques bugs avec voiceover, mais dans l'ensemble, c'est très accessible. Il me semble aussi que la configuration des planètes change si on a le malheur de valider une recherche pendant une mission, mais je ne suis pas tout à fait certain de ce que j'avance⋯
