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'm color blind to yellow pigment, so this would be amazing. The absence of yellow pigment makes it impossible for me to play the game.

@Valentine -- I'm so sorry to hear that you can't play the game. :/ I can't imagine how frustrating it must be. I hope this can be implemented to help you out.

@Altair -- I know what you mean. D: I can sometimes get that too when I stare at the computer for too long, so to have the red or maybe a black snake would be awesome. Thanks for supporting! <3

I support as a female who has red-green colorblindness, that does affect my gameplay!

EVERY video game ever has to have a color palette shift whenever it reaches a new level or the boss powers up! >:U Even a moron knows that.
