Accessibility Statement

RDD Labs is a two-person game studio in Ashdod, Israel, operated as a sole trader (osek patur). We want rdd-labs.com and the Color Drain page to be usable by everyone — including people who rely on a keyboard, a screen reader, magnification, or reduced motion.

This statement says what is in place today, what is not right yet and when we expect to fix it, and how to reach us when something gets in your way.

We work to WCAG 2.0 Level AA — the level Israeli Standard IS 5568 is anchored to — and test against WCAG 2.1 where it goes further. Most of the site meets that level. The items listed under "Known limitations" do not yet, which is why the status is partial rather than full.

As a sole trader (osek patur), RDD Labs is exempt from the website-accessibility duty in Israel's Service Accessibility Regulations. We publish this statement voluntarily and treat the limitations below as work to finish, not as a legal position.

• Keyboard: every control can be reached with Tab and shows a visible focus ring; "Skip to main content" is the first tab stop on every page, and every page exposes main, navigation and footer landmarks.
• Forms: every field has a label a screen reader can read; validation messages appear in the page and are announced, and never rely on color alone. The investor dialog moves focus in and returns it when closed.
• Motion: the operating system's "reduce motion" setting is honoured. The main pages have a "Pause motion" control, and "Stop animations" in the accessibility menu does the same on every page; the choice is remembered.
• Older phones: a lite mode switches off the heaviest visual effects automatically so pages stay responsive on low-end devices.
• Accessibility menu: the round button in the bottom corner of every page opens a menu for text size, high contrast, monochrome, highlighted links, a readable font, text spacing, stopping animations, a big cursor and a strong focus outline. Your choices are saved on your device only. The menu is a helper on top of the site's own accessibility, not a replacement for it: the site is built to work with a keyboard, a screen reader and your device's own accessibility settings, with or without it.
• Language: a full Hebrew translation with right-to-left layout; the page language and direction are declared for assistive technology, and the language choice is a real address (?lang=he) you can share.
• Contrast: we design text to at least 4.5:1 against its background, with headings in near-white on the dark night-sky background. The high-contrast option in the accessibility menu is there for anyone who needs more.
• Structure: one main heading per page with no skipped heading levels, and the FAQ uses real buttons that announce whether an answer is open or closed.

We would rather list these honestly than claim a conformance we have not earned yet.

• The Security and Press pages are available in English only.Expected: Q4 2026
• Icons are emoji and text glyphs rather than drawn icons, so they look different from one device to another. They are hidden from assistive technology and never carry information on their own.Expected: Q4 2026
• Testing so far: automated checks plus a manual audit of the rendered pages on two Android handsets (a Galaxy A04 in Samsung Internet and a Mi 9T Pro in Chrome). A full screen-reader pass with TalkBack, NVDA and VoiceOver has not been completed yet. What changed after that audit has had automated checks and checks on phones, but not yet a full manual audit: the new night-city design (3 October 2026), the accessibility menu (October 2026), the player community, the "Manage my email" page and the Android/iPhone choice in the sign-up form.Scheduled: Q4 2026

Fixed in September 2026: the gradient wordmarks now render as solid text in Samsung Internet's dark mode, the Hebrew site has its own typefaces (Rubik and Heebo), and the countdown labels and investor-form labels on the Hebrew site are translated.

If any part of the site is hard to use, tell us. We will fix it, or give you the same content another way in the meantime.

You can also contact the Commission for Equal Rights of Persons with Disabilities at the Israeli Ministry of Justice, which handles accessibility complaints.

RDD Labs is a young studio, and this site is still being built. We add pages, refresh the design and improve features often, the accessibility menu included, and we look at accessibility as part of that work. Even so, a page or feature that is new or has just changed may, for a while, not yet meet the level we aim for.

If you come across something like that, we would be grateful if you let us know (section 5). We treat it as something to fix, and until it is fixed we will gladly give you the same information or help in another way.

We review this statement whenever the site changes in a way that affects accessibility, and at least once a year. The audit date at the top is the date of the last check, not the date the page was written.
