Accessibility Report

12 Accessibility Features

We've documented 12 accessibility features for Dot Big Bang, including Low Pressure, No Quick Reactions, No Button Combos, No Repeated Pressing and No Holds. Its accessibility is strongest in Controls and Getting Started but it also has features in Reading, Visual and Audio to reduce unintended barriers.

This report is created with input from accessibility experts and the player community to help people find games that have the accessibility features they require. Once you have found potential games on the database, there are excellent specialist accessibility sites that offer in-depth reviews to guide your purchasing decisions.

Dot Big Bang is a website where you can play hundreds of community-made multiplayer games and make your own. It's similar to Roblox in that there are always new popular games and trends, but the simplicity of the game creation tools and the web-browser setting means that the option to create as well as play games is open to everyone.

Accessibility Notes

Accessibility obviously varies significantly from game to game, and as games are made by the community, there is no way of knowing what accessibility features will be present in a game before playing. Generally though, you can find games that don't rely on precise or timed inputs and don't need buttons to be held down. If a game is too demanding, you can always find different games within the platform.

In menus and the game creation mode, text is generally high in contrast but can be very small and therefore difficult to read. There are lots of tutorials for game creation, although due to the sheer amount of information, it can still become somewhat overwhelming. Many of the Template worlds you can make games in have fairly low contrast, such as an orange sky and orange ground.

Getting Started

We've documented 3 accessibility features for Getting Started in Dot Big Bang which deal with what support is offered to get started with the game. This includes customising the experience when you first open the game via any onboarding processes it provides as well as tutorials and other assistance when you first start playing.

Assistance Getting Starting

These features aid your play of the game in terms of cognitive load on learning controls, dealing with pressure and coping with the environment and challenges.

Tutorials: There are helpful tutorials and instructions on how to play. Information is provided in a timely manner, with appropriate level of detail.

Reaction-Time Not Critical: Individual game actions don’t need quick reactions, or there are settings to lower the requirement for quick reactions. This means you don't need to quickly press a button in response to an on-screen prompt, target a fast-moving target or skillfully complete a scenario against the clock.
