The Plants vs Zombies: RePlanted team has been working hard on making this version stand out from the original, and one of those aspects is adding new accessibility features! Kudos to The Lost Pixels team, thrilled to see their advocacy and efforts pay off!
Update 1.4.0 for Plants vs. Zombies Replanted adds a high contrast mode to the game, as well as game speed options which can lower or increase the game's speed.

Other accessibility improvements include a screenshake toggle and a Sun Vacuum feature.

La verdad es que da gusto ver. Ojo los equipos se implican con la accesibilidad, toman en serio tus sugerencias y van más allá de hacer un simple port. The Lost Pixels se lo ha currado y se merecen éxito ❤️

FC 26 is nominated for the Innovation in Accessibility Award! Congrats to everyone at EA SPORTS for this major recognition.

Ubisoft, Rebellion, Bethesda, and Compulsion are champions for accessibility, and to be amongst them is an honor. But real winners here are gamers with disabilities ♿️✨

Es un plomazo ver que la gente con más talento que conozco siempre está al borde o por debajo del umbral de pobreza :[

Y que pasan los siglos y no terminamos de arreglar esto, oye. Que el dinero lo acumulan charlatanes, enteraos y papanatas, y a la gente que aporta bien al mundo le dan por saco.

Ojalá haber sabido esto cuando me estaba iniciando en el Pixel Art
Super Mario World has an extremely eclectic art style whereby many enemies are drawn in completely different ways. Development files reveal Mario went through many stylistic changes; it is possible that all the enemies were made to fit Mario, but at different points in time.

Después de AÑOS con este bug en Windows 10 y 11, Microsoft ha sacado una actualización que arregla el botón "Actualizar y apagar", ya que lo que en realidad hacía era actualizar y reiniciar, nunca se apagaba.
