Keyboard Accessibility
Keyboard Accessibility lets arrow keys move, space and enter act, and escape close panels. The page also checks its own controls. Free, no account.
In Keyboard Accessibility, every game can be played from the keyboard alone, and this page runs checks on its own controls so that claim can be verified rather than assumed.

How to use Keyboard Accessibility
Arrow keys move, space and enter act
Movement uses the arrow keys, actions use space or enter, and escape closes any panel that opened. Games with their own controls follow the same pattern, so learning it once covers the whole site.
Nothing needs a mouse
There is no action that only a pointer can perform. Where a game is built around dragging, the same thing can be done by selecting and confirming with the keyboard.
A visible focus outline, always
Moving through the page with Tab shows exactly where you are. A focus state that has been styled away is one of the most common ways a keyboard user gets stranded with no idea which control is active.
Tap targets are finger-sized
Controls are at least forty-four pixels tall, which is the usual minimum for a fingertip. This is not only an accessibility matter — a too-small target is the most common cause of a mistap for everyone.
The checks run on this page, and say so
The report below is measured from this page's own markup rather than from a list of what ought to be there, and both the counts and the limits are shown. A list of intentions would stay green no matter what the pages actually did. It also states plainly that it does not check the other pages, because it cannot.
Keyboard Accessibility — Frequently Asked Questions
Can every game really be played without a mouse?
Yes. Arrow keys move, space and enter act, and escape closes panels. No game requires a pointer.
Do the checks cover the whole site?
No, and the page says so. They measure this page's own markup. A check that claimed to cover pages it never looked at would be worse than no check.
What is a tap target and why does its size matter?
A tap target is the area a control responds to. Under about forty-four pixels it becomes hard to hit reliably, which is a problem for everyone and a serious one for anyone with limited dexterity.
Why does the focus outline matter so much?
Without it, a keyboard user has no idea which control is currently active. It is the keyboard equivalent of a mouse pointer disappearing.
Does it need installing or an account?
No. It is how the site itself is built.
