© 2020, Associacao Iberica de Sistemas e Tecnologias de Informacao. All rights reserved.The gaming area has experienced great growth in the entertainment market in recent years. However, with regard to accessibility of games, there is still a large gap, excluding people with disabilities. Specifically, in relation to visual impairment, few games can be found in the market. This work presents the development of an audiogame called Soundmaze for entertainment. Its scenery is a maze, intended for the target audience visually impaired people (and, also, seers), developed for Android devices. During the creation of the game, it was guaranteed that the application could be played only by sounds, in order to create the same challenges for people with or without visual impairment. Usability tests were performed, and the results are presented in this work.
