Accessibility statement (English)

We want everyone, including people with disabilities, to be able to use our website and get to know our games.

Accessibility level

bananabolt.xyz was made accessible under the Israeli Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility Adjustments) Regulations, 2013, and Israeli Standard IS 5568, which is based on WCAG 2.0 level AA. In practice we worked to WCAG 2.1 level AA. The fixes are in the site's own code; we do not use an accessibility overlay widget.

Last reviewed: 11 October 2026. The review used axe-core on every page at phone width (390 px) and desktop width (1440 px), plus manual checks of keyboard use, focus, headings, forms, colour contrast and text resizing in Chrome.

What we did

• The whole site works with a keyboard alone: logical Tab order, a clearly visible focus outline, and a "Skip to content" link at the top of every page.
• The phone menu, the notification bell, the BananaBolt ID sign-in, the trailer player, the drawing viewer and player profiles open and close with the keyboard, close with Esc, keep focus inside while open, and return focus to the button that opened them.
• Every icon-only button (menu, bell, back, close, sound) has a name that screen readers read out.
• Clear structure for screen readers: page regions (header, navigation, main content, footer), headings in order, and the page language set.
• Every image has a text alternative; decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
• Colour contrast of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. To get there we slightly deepened the green buttons, the word "Bolt" in the logo, the badges, and the links on the privacy pages.
• Information is not given by colour alone: for example your own row on a leaderboard is also marked in text, and star counts are read together with the word "stars".
• Text can be enlarged to 200% and the site works at phone width without losing content or scrolling sideways. Pinch-zoom also works on the game demo pages.
• If your device asks for reduced motion (prefers-reduced-motion), animations, bounces and the click sparkle effect are turned off.
• Nothing moves by itself for more than 5 seconds: the mascot (the banana) at the top of the home page bounces briefly and stops, and leaderboards do not change while you read them (they refresh when you come back to the tab).
• Forms (BananaBolt ID sign-in and account deletion) have a label for every field, and error or success messages are announced to screen readers.
• YouTube trailers load only after you click, in a titled pop-up with a close button.

What is not fully accessible yet

• The games themselves. Doodle Hunt, Wagon Run, Gorilla Rush and Twistbloom (and their demos under /play) are real-time games drawn on a canvas that need sight and quick reactions. The gameplay itself cannot yet be fully played with a screen reader. What we did in each game:
  • Doodle Hunt (full browser game): its menus, settings, shop and lobby are being made keyboard and screen-reader friendly. Finding the picture during a round needs sight.
  • Wagon Run: the demo can be played with the arrow keys (not only touch), and the sound button has a spoken name. The game's menus are being made keyboard and screen-reader friendly.
  • Gorilla Rush: the demo can be played with the arrow keys, the game area is labelled, and the sound button has a spoken name. The menus are being made keyboard and screen-reader friendly.
  • Twistbloom: a puzzle with no time pressure. Every turn button on the board is a real button with a spoken name, so it can be used with the keyboard. The menus are being made keyboard and screen-reader friendly.
• Players' drawings: the text alternative of each drawing in the gallery is the title the player gave it, so it may not describe the picture.
• Leaderboard names are chosen by players or made up by the game.
• Language: the site and the privacy policies are in English; this statement is in Hebrew and English.
• Third-party content (the YouTube player, Google Play and TikTok pages) is outside our control.
• The internal drawing-review tool (team only) has not been fully reviewed yet.

If any of this stops you from using our service, write to us and we will help another way, for example by sending the information by email.

The studio has no office or walk-in service; everything is provided online, so there are no physical accessibility arrangements.
