Brick by Brick voegt accessibility-opties toe met nieuwe update

Patch 1.3 van party game Brick by Brick heeft bijvoorbeeld nu een kleurenblindheid mode toegevoegd met de presets Red-Green en Blue-Yellow om spelers op weg te helpen. Hiernaast kan echter elk blok worden getweaked met hun kleurentint, verzadiging en felheid, om het zo makkelijker te maken om het onderscheid te maken. En wie deze settings aan heeft staan, krijgt een waarschuwing wanneer ze stenen verkeerd plaatsen in een hoog contrast.

Voor de meer doorsnee speler is 1.3 ook goed nieuws. Een Reset-knop is toegevoegd welke stenen die bijvoorbeeld door de wereld zijn gevallen, zoek zijn geraakt of vast zitten terug brengt naar de stapel. Ook stenen die verkeerd zijn geplaatst of zijn verstopt door die ene lolbroek in de groep komen hiermee terug, tenzij dat de host is. Die is namelijk de enige die dit kan doen in multiplayer. De volledige patch notes vind je hieronder:
