Here at Maccessibility, we would sincerely like to thank Steven Melzer, the developer of “domino train”, for adding VoiceOver support in the latest release of his game.  It is important for us to recognize and applaud developers who make the effort to make their apps accessible to those of us who are visually impaired.
