We've documented 22 accessibility features for Rhythm Rabbit, including Fully Voiced (Or No Speech), No Button Combos, No Repeated Pressing, No Holds and One Motion Targeted. Its accessibility is strongest in Controls and Reading but it also has features in Navigation, Visual, Getting Started and Audio to reduce unintended barriers.

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.
Our accessibility examiner, Ben Kendall, first checked Rhythm Rabbit accessibility 3 months ago.
Accessibility Notes
You can play with a keyboard, the mouse, (or a combination of both), a touchscreen, or a controller. While holds, rapid presses and simultaneous buttons are not required, you only have about a second between each beat to see how many squares the rabbit will move and select the direction you want it to move in, so the game needs good reactions and is also generally high pressure throughout.
There is an Assist Mode in the game. Normally, the notes indicating how far the rabbit will move swirl around the rabbit right until it moves. With Assist Mode on, they instead form a line in the currently selected direction to help you see which square the rabbit will land on. It does not offer any extra time to make your direction selection though.
There is no text during [play (aside from tutorial text). Text in menus is high in contrast but not large. Furthermore, it is very pixelated and as a result quite difficult to read.
The carrot is often offscreen, but a bubble with the carrot in points towards its location so you know which direction to head for. Some of the obstacles, such as molehills, can be somewhat small and unobtrusive and thus easy to miss, especially when you're trying to do so many things in such a short amount of time. There is a very slight screen shake when you fall into a molehill.
The game can often be very low in contrast, especially in stages where there is an orange dust storm blowing over an orange play area. This also significantly reduces visibility at the edges of the screen.

Reading
We've documented 4 accessibility features for Reading in Rhythm Rabbit which deal with how much reading or listening comprehension is required, how well the game provides visual and audible access to the text and whether subtitles and captions are a good fit for purpose.
Reading Level
How much reading is required to play the game's main path or story and how complex the language is. The presence of voiced characters doesn't reduce this requirement, as it's recorded as a separate datapoint.
No Reading: No reading is required, other than simple menus. The game either has no text or can communicate textual content with visuals and interactions. If reading isn't required because the text is voiced the All Dialogue is Voiced feature indicates this.
Text Visibility
High Contrast Text: Text colour contrasts to the background or can be adjusted to be. The text in menus, instructions and other information is presented in high contrast with a solid background.
Subtitles
All Speech Subtitled (Or No Speech In Game): All spoken content has subtitles, or there is no speech in the game. This means there is no requirement to hear spoken dialogue or narrative to play the game.
Voice Acted
All Dialogue is Voice Acted (Or No Speech In Game): All of the game dialogue and narrative can be voiced, or there is no speech in the game. This means there is no requirement to read the dialogue and narrative text to play the game.
