Accessibility Statement for QuantumLeap Games
QuantumLeap Games is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We continually improve the user experience for all visitors, striving to meet or exceed the standards set by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 level AA. Our goal is to provide an inclusive gaming experience that is enjoyable and accessible to all players, regardless of their abilities.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We believe in creating games that are accessible to as many people as possible. This commitment includes designing our website and game interfaces to be usable by individuals with disabilities. We are dedicated to continuously improving accessibility by regularly reviewing and updating our practices to incorporate the latest accessibility standards and guidelines. Our team works closely with accessibility experts and users with disabilities to ensure our products and services are inclusive and user-friendly.
Supported Assistive Technologies
QuantumLeap Games' website and games are designed to be compatible with a variety of assistive technologies, including but not limited to:
- Screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver
- Keyboard navigation
- Speech recognition software
- Magnification software
We regularly test our website and games with these technologies to ensure compatibility and usability. If you encounter any issues while using assistive technology with our products, please contact us immediately so we can address the problem.
Keyboard Navigation
Our website and games are fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can easily navigate through all interactive elements, including links, buttons, and form fields, using the tab key and arrow keys. Clear focus indicators are provided to show which element is currently selected.
We follow best practices for keyboard accessibility, including ensuring that the tab order is logical and intuitive. Additionally, we provide skip navigation links to allow users to bypass repetitive content and jump directly to the main content of the page.
Screen Reader Compatibility
We are committed to ensuring our website and games are compatible with screen readers. We follow semantic HTML standards to provide meaningful structure and context to screen reader users. All images have descriptive alternative text, and we use ARIA attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements.
Our development team regularly tests our website and games with popular screen readers to identify and address any accessibility issues. We are constantly working to improve the screen reader experience and ensure that all content is accessible to users with visual impairments.
Color Contrast
We adhere to WCAG guidelines for color contrast to ensure that text is readable for users with low vision or color blindness. We carefully select color combinations to provide sufficient contrast between text and background, making it easier for users to perceive and understand the content.
Users can also enable dark mode on our website, which provides a high-contrast color scheme that may be more comfortable for some users. We encourage users to adjust their display settings to optimize their viewing experience.
Adjustable Font Sizes
We provide users with the ability to adjust the font size on our website to suit their individual preferences. This can be done by using the built-in zoom functionality of their web browser or by using the provided controls on this page. Increasing the font size can make it easier for users with low vision to read the content.
We ensure that our website layout is responsive and adapts to different font sizes without causing any loss of content or functionality. This ensures that users can customize their viewing experience without compromising accessibility.
Accessibility Features in Our Games
Beyond our website, we are working to improve accessibility within our games themselves. Here are some of the features we are exploring and implementing:
- Customizable Controls: Allowing players to remap controls to suit their individual needs and preferences.
- Adjustable UI Scale: Providing options to scale the user interface to make it easier to see on different screen sizes.
- Text-to-Speech Options: Incorporating text-to-speech functionality to provide audio descriptions of in-game elements and events.
- Subtitles and Closed Captions: Ensuring all dialogue and important audio cues are subtitled.
- Colorblind Modes: Implementing colorblind modes to make it easier for players with color vision deficiencies to distinguish between different elements.
- Simplified Game Mechanics: Offering options to simplify complex game mechanics to make the game more accessible to players with cognitive disabilities.
