Close your eyes and play by sound. BlindRun is an endless runner built from the ground up for blind and low-vision players. There’s nothing to watch—you run with your ears. Clear, natural audio tells you what’s coming and where it is, while quick swipes keep you moving. Fast, fair, and fully playable without looking at the screen. ACCESSIBILITY FIRST BlindRun wasn’t adapted for accessibility—it was designed for it from day one. Every obstacle has a unique sound, stereo audio tells you whether danger is on the left or right, and haptic feedback confirms every action. Sighted players can enable simple visuals, but sound and vibration are always the core experience. PLAYING WITH VOICEOVER Turn on VoiceOver and start playing immediately. While VoiceOver is active, use three-finger swipe gestures to perform in-game actions without leaving the game.

Sortalis is a dice-building roguelike inspired by Farkle. Roll, score, and decide how far you’re willing to push your luck—then spend your winnings on Charms and upgrades that transform your dice, strengthen your strategy, and rewrite the rules. Every run becomes a new engine to build, exploit, and inevitably push a little too far. **What’s in the game?** • Endless challenges that grow tougher and demand new strategies • Over 150 upgrades to discover and combine into powerful builds • Rewards, unlocks, achievements, Dice Bags, and challenges to master • Multiplayer draft mode! **Roll, Set, or Bank** Roll and select scoring combos carefully. Roll again to make it bigger—or Farkle and lose the lot. Bank before your luck runs out. **Spend It in The Shop** Between Bouts, spend your winnings on Charms, Packs, Action Cards, and other upgrades. Don’t like what’s on the shelf? Redraw it and hunt for the piece your build needs. **Face The House** Every night ends with a boss that changes the rules. THE MISER, for example, won’t let you Bank until your Pot reaches 500. **Then Do It All Again** Every Bank and Farkle adds to your final score. Unlock 14 Dice Bags, tabletops, discover new combinations, and see how far you can push your next run.
