Accessibility statement
Our commitment
We want everyone to be able to enjoy Snakes Untangled, including people with disabilities. We have tried to make the game's website and Android app as accessible as a visual puzzle game allows, and we keep improving it.
Standard
We aim to follow Israeli Standard 5568, which is based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 at level AA, and the newer WCAG 2.1 guidance where we can. The game has not been checked by an accessibility consultant, so we do not claim full compliance.
Snakes Untangled is a non-commercial hobby project by Silvertonian. It is not run by a registered business and currently earns no revenue.
Accessibility adjustments
- Every menu and button can be reached with a keyboard on the web, with a visible focus outline, and has a text label for screen readers.
- Menu text uses clear, high-contrast colours on plain light cards.
- There are no time limits. You can pause at any moment and think as long as you like.
- Settings let you turn sound and vibration on or off, choose Easy, Medium or Hard puzzles, and slow the snakes down.
- Animations are reduced when your device asks for reduced motion.
- Hints, an undo booster and the level map help players who need more support.
- Every point spend and purchase asks for a Yes/No confirmation first, so nothing is bought by a mistaken tap.
- On the web, you can zoom the page with your browser.
- The privacy policy, terms of use and this statement are plain web pages that work with screen readers and browser zoom.
Known limitations
- The puzzle board is visual. Snakes are drawn on a picture and are chosen by tapping them, so the board itself cannot be played with a screen reader or by keyboard alone. We have not found a way to make a picture-based puzzle like this fully non-visual.
- Colour and pictures carry information. The red zones in front of king cobras and the hunters are shown as pictures and colour only.
- Text size in the Android app. The app keeps its own text size and does not follow the phone's font-size setting, because larger system fonts break the game's layout.
- Sounds have no captions. Sounds are only effects and never carry information you need.
- Ads. Ads are supplied by Google and we do not control how accessible they are. Rewarded ads are optional.
