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. Bobsled is an fully accessible audio game where you steer a bobsled down an ice-track. In Bobsled, you first learn how to steer and how to speed up or slow down. The game requires the use of headphones or earbuds, so you can keep your bobsled on the track. Then you can play several practice games - timed or not-timed - to help you master controlling your sled. You can change the track width and difficulty of the game. There are several timed games, several untimed games, and an endless game available as upgrades. And there's a snowball feature that lets you collect snowballs to power-up your game. Like the other Blindfold Games, you can post your high scores to Facebook or Twitter.
