Blindfold Rummy vs SoundEcho

Blindfold Games are entertainment apps provided as a service to the visually impaired community by Objective Ed. Your in-app upgrades pay for the development and support of these games.  Rummy is a fully accessible Rummy card game for both sighted and visually impaired people, designed for rapid audio play. Rummy comes with Gin Rummy where most or all of the cards can be combined into sets and runs and the point value of the remaining unmatched cards is low. When you have very few cards that are not in a set or a run, you can knock, and the player with the lowest points in their hand wins the round. The game is played until 100 points, or whatever target score you set, is achieved by one of the players. You play against up to 3 computer players. You can customize the game to your liking: how much extra information is spoken and how quickly it is spoken, how many sound effects are used amongst other things. And you can post your high scores to Twitter or Facebook.

SoundEcho is a memory game with sounds that is easy to play and fully accessible with VoiceOver. SoundEcho is enjoyable for blind, low vision and sighted players alike. The gameplay is simple. Buttons showing a letter, number or smiley are spread across the screen. Tap a button to hear a sound. If two different buttons produce the same sound, they disappear. Find all matching sounds as quickly as possible with as few taps as you can. Choose from 4 sound categories: the classic animal and computer sounds, or the alternative traffic and musical instrument sounds. Each game contains 10, 15 or 20 sound pairs. SoundEcho integrates Game Center so you can compare scores, track achievements and play real-time matches with 2 to 4 players. SoundEcho was nominated for the 2023 Golden Apple Awards by the AppleVis website. Try SoundEcho for free today.
