Accessibility Statement

Our commitment

Driftmoth Games aims to conform with WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards across our website, even though as a micro-enterprise we are not legally required to do so under the Norwegian Likestillings- og diskrimineringsloven §17 or the EU Accessibility Act. Good accessibility is good engineering, and the web already paid for most of it.

What we’ve done

• Colour-contrast ratios exceed 7:1 (WCAG AAA) across body text, muted text, and accent text.
• Every page has a skip-to-content link as the first focusable element.
• Single <h1> per page; no skipped heading levels.
• All images have descriptive alt text.
• All interactive elements (buttons, pills, nav, FAQ toggles) meet the WCAG 2.5.5 minimum 44×44 px touch-target size.
• Keyboard navigation works throughout (Tab, Shift-Tab, Enter, Escape).
• The site functions without JavaScript for most features. Game iframes are click-to-load to avoid unnecessary asset fetches.
• FAQ accordions use the native <details> / <summary> elements rather than ARIA-scripted widgets.
• Language declared as English (lang="en") on every page.
• Self-hosted fonts (Orbitron) with font-display: swap ensure reliable text rendering with no external font dependency.
• No animations that could trigger photosensitive seizures; no auto-playing video; no disruptive motion.

Known limitations

• Game canvases are not screen-reader accessible. This is a fundamental limitation of interactive 2D games rendered to HTML <canvas> elements. We partially mitigate by providing text descriptions of each game’s mechanics, controls, and tips outside the canvas — readable with a screen reader before deciding whether to engage.
• Some games use audio cues. In particular, the Echo memory games play a tone when each pad lights up. The visual colours also convey the information, but users with hearing impairments may find these games less engaging than the sighted / hearing experience.
• Some games require a keyboard. Games that require a physical keyboard (for example, GRIDLOCK — Neon Trails) display a notice when opened on a mobile device and suggest switching to a desktop.
