Objective:

Run as fast as you can to build momentum and jump over the obstacles and enemies. Run as far as you can and collect as many coins as you can within 3 minutes.

Testing Instructions:

The aim of this project is to investigate the use of accessibility options in games to assist players with visual impairments. For the purposes of this test, visual impairments will be simulated with a set of in-game filters that are automatically applied when you select a map (A, B, C or D).

For this test, you will need to play maps B, C and D twice, once without accessibility options and once with them. Map A should be played once, without accessibility options. You can play the maps in any order and choose whether to start with or without accessibility options, but please ensure you remember what order you played them in. After playing through all the maps once, and you are ready to turn accessibility options on/off, please refresh the page to fully reset the game. On each map, you will have 3 attempts to run as far and to collect as many coins as you can, please set a 3-minute timer for each run and record how far you travelled within those 3 minutes or until you die. Coins are added up across all 3 runs, so record how many coins you have after 3 runs. When starting a new map, reset the counters with 0. 

An example of how this test should look:

	Run 1	Run 2	Run 3	Coins
Map A (W/O accessibility)	9	15	56	26
Map D (W/O accessibility)	22	40	9	15
Map C (W/O accessibility)	45	45	2	16
Map B (W/O accessibility)	40	44	6	14
Page Refresh
Map D (W/ accessibility)	9	29	40	15
Map C (W/ accessibility)	15	45	17	13
Map B (W/ accessibility)	5	18	26	11

Notes:

• It is best to play with headphones
• If you are struggling to read UI, such as the counters or the main menu, press 1 to remove filters, just be sure to re-enable them before continuing by pressing the associated button (2 = B, 3 = C, 4 = D).
• If for any reason you need to restart, for example you ran out of time, press R to restart.
• When playing with accessibility options, you can pause the game, return to the menu and change the options at any point and resume the game, in fact it is encouraged.
• When playing without accessibility options, please do not use the accessibility menu to change the volume, but you are free to change your computers volume if the game is too loud
