This game was inspired by the endless runner called Fear which had been released several years ago for mobile.
If you remember and enjoyed that game, you are likely to enjoy Constant Motion as well, which contains 14 individual endless runners and growing in just one app!

Accessibility and User Comments:
The game is 100% accessible, though like many audiogames for Android it is best played with Talkback disabled as it contains it's own gesture handling and speech output.
The game is played in the landscape left screen orientation and you usually swipe up and down to move through options as opposed to left and right. All gestures are explained as you use the app. For the benifit of a sighted user who launches the app with no screen reader running, a visual dialog may appear which warns them that the app will show nothing but a black screen from that point, this will not appear if the app is launched with a screen reader running.
If you turn off talkback first though then use something like Google assistant to launch the game, you may need to contend with it. While it should be rare, I did receive one single report that the game was acting up or crashing when interacting with their running screen reader (I cannot reproduce this a the dev). If this is something you experience, please ensure no screen reader is running when interacting with the app, and if you feel up to it, please contact me with details so I can help!
Editor's note:operation settings>gaming mode>gaming mode apps, and check constant motion. The next time you open constant motion, Jieshuo will say "Entered Gaming Mode", gestures will resume, and constant motion will speak through Jieshuo.
