Hello there!

I searched through the Forums for a little while, and didn't see anything like this. So I thought I'd suggest it myself!

One of the things that I've heard from two different friends (whom either have color-blindness or are hard of sight,) that they simply cannot play Whack-A-Snake like I do, because of the Questing Snake's color. If you're someone with color-blindness or are hard of distinguishing colors, it can be incredibly hard to distinguish the green color of the Mamba from the green background. This is especially difficult when you can only see the tip of his nose and part of his body, (like when he hides in the corner of the right-hand side of the screen.)

This can make it difficult, or near-impossible to play Whack-A--Snake at all, making it's nice prizes basically out of reach to some people.

What I'm suggesting is to have an option underneath the Help button to change the Snake's color from the green of the Questing Snake, The red of his wife, the Karma Snake, or lastly another darker color (possibly a Black Mamba?) to help the people with R-G colorblindness to differentiate between the snake and the leaves or trunk of the trees. Another option could be a Colorblindness-mode that switched the saturation of the background vs. the Snake that could help people see the Snake better. :>

I feel that this could help a lot of people, so I thought I'd suggest it! If you have any other questions or suggestions, feel free to comment!

Thank you!

Support. not colorblind but green on green is still hard to make out. Optional black mamba colors would work nicely. the blackish color would be easier to see. Or if it really has to be realistic [black mambas aren't arboreal] at the very least the black scale patterning that is present in some of the western green mambas instead of the solid green of the eastern species would already be very helpful to make the snake more visible.

I support, Im not color blind, but it seems very frustrating to not be able to tell the differences between the snake and the Background. :)

I'm not colorblind but my husband is, and the poor guy gets *really* frustrated with games because he can't differentiate between important color-coded things.

This is one of those suggestions I wish I could support more than once. <3

@Maru-- I couldn't even imagine how frustrating it is, honestly. I get frustrated just playing games, and knowing some people can't play key games because of their colorblindness is terrible. D: Thank you so much for supporting!
