I think this is a more appropriate subject line. I like the email you wrote to Hasbro, although I doubt they'd do anything about it. If you get a reply back though, please send it to the list. As I previously stated, I may have a solution for the bop it download accessibility issue even though I don't have one and can't try it myself. If anyone has one feel free to try it and let us know how it goes. . According to the wiki article I read, from level 4 onward the bop it randomly tells you to input a command while lighting something else simultaneously. when this happens, you simply do nothing on that beat. Now I'm guessing that if it says bop it! and twist it! lights up, the game will make a twist it sound on its own at the end of the beat. My idea was to wait for the beat to end before inputting the next command. this would mean that you have a split second to press the correct button, but it's better than nothing or even worse, hitting the wrong button on the off chance nothing lit up. What do you guys think? If you're confused I can record a sample and show you.
