Ever wanted to play a game on your Android device without actually having to look at it? Well that is one feature of a new game out on the Android Market today called Stem Stumper by Ananse Productions. It comes with a sonar mode where you can play without visuals, only sound.

In Stem Stumper your job is to make Mimea grow through over 100 levels of puzzle. while similar to other games of this type, it does bring with it a unique feature that will let blind people, and anyone else for that matter, to play without actually seeing the game through the use of sound.

Features:

  • Fully integrated with VoiceOver and Talkback
  • 110 Puzzles
  • Sound only "sonar" mode
  • English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Czech and Dutch support

 

The normal game modes use the VoiceOVer and Talkback features for anyone who happens to be blind which will allow them to play the game. However, if you are not blind and want to give it a go but tend to take a peek here and there then you should try the sonar mode. Definitely not an easy task to do. If you are up for the challenge you can try it out for free in a trial version or purchase the full version for $1.99. For even more details feel free to check out the press release below.
