Every setting explained

Each switch and button on the Game and Accessibility tabs of Settings, what it does, what it starts as, and where the support, community and privacy links lead.

Checked against OutBrick 5.1.1 · October 8, 20263 min read

Opening Settings

Tap the gear at the top right of Home or the Journey. Settings fills the screen; the red × closes it (so does Esc on a keyboard, or the two-finger scrub with VoiceOver). It has two tabs: Game, which opens first, and Accessibility.

Every switch shows Off | On, with the line under it explaining what it does. VoiceOver reads that line as the switch’s hint.

The Game tab

SettingWhat it doesStarts as
NotificationsReminders from the game, such as full lives and a daily reward waiting. Switching it on asks iOS for permission if it never has.On

Good to know

Sounds, Music and Haptics are also in the Pause menu during a board. If an OutBrick Focus filter is changing sound or reminders, a line under Music says so; your own settings are never changed.

Settings on the Game tab: On switches for Notifications, Sounds, Music, Quick play and Mascot AI chatter, each with a line explaining it, then buttons for Game features, Rate OutBrick, Contact us, Community, Report a bug and Support.
Settings › Game.

The buttons below the switches

The bottom of the Game tab: a Mascot AI chatter switch, a Game features button, Rate OutBrick and Contact us side by side, Community and Report a bug side by side, a green Support button, Terms and Privacy, a More information heading with License, Apple EULA, Age rating, Accessibility, Privacy choices and Refunds, and Delete My Data at the very bottom.
The foot of the Game tab: help, community and legal links, and Delete My Data.
Game features
Switch off Friend Rescue, Village Race, Brick Royale, Crew Race or Offers on the map if you would rather not see them. Nothing you have earned is lost.
Rate OutBrick
Opens the App Store’s review page. There is no reward for rating, and the game only asks a few times a year, never after a loss or a purchase.
Contact us
Opens our contact form inside the game: the private way to reach the team.
Community
Opens this community in Safari.
Report a bug
Opens a bug report in Safari with your device, iOS version, game version, accessibility settings and level already filled in. See Reporting a bug well.
Advertising choices
Only shown where an ad-consent form is required (for example in the EU and the UK). Reopens it so you can change your choice.
Support, Terms, Privacy
Our support, terms and privacy policy pages.
Delete My Data
Resets your progress on this device and asks iCloud to delete your save. See Progress, iCloud and privacy.

Good to know

Community and Report a bug open in Safari, outside the game, because the community is a place for people aged 16 and over and the game itself is rated 4+.

The Accessibility tab

The Accessibility tab: Animation speed from 50% to 200%, Announcement detail Brief, Standard or Full, and switches for Colour-blind, High-contrast board, Left-handed tray, Hold to confirm swaps and Row sound.
Settings › Accessibility.

Animation speed, Announcement detail, Colour-blind, High-contrast board, Left-handed tray, Hold to confirm swaps and Row sound are each explained in Accessibility in OutBrick.
