Accessibility
This game uses the directional pad and the A and B buttons. The console is held sideways while playing. The controls can be held down, but are more likely to be tapped (think Tetris). The game also flashes portions of the screen during gameplay (when blocks are matched). High level play requires quick reaction times. The game does not require audio (but we do have music and sound effects).
