Accessibility Notes
Text in the game is often very small and can also be low in contrast.
Each level is assigned one of three difficulties by the people that play it, and you can choose what levels you want to play.
Some levels can be hard to navigate, due to both the winding pathways and the fairly low contrast between elements, which are often a similar shade of dark grey.
