Soundscape by Atomic

[raw]
made by Atomic for LD16 (COMPO)
Soundscape is an experimental exploration game where you must navigate and exit an unknown area using only your hearing.

Beeps indicate distance to the obstacle in your front (high pitch=near, low pitch=far) and distance to exit (fast beeps=near, slow beeps=far). Bumping on walls should be avoided and it's signaled by a bump sound.

Time didn't help so I included just one level (a pretty hard one - try to finish it!). Anyways it is playable and serves as a proof of concept.

Controls (first person style):
Up arrow - walk forward
Down arrow - walk backward
Left arrow - turn left
Right arrow - turn right

I used Flash to make it (my first time with Flash so I had to learn it), Paint to draw the map and a camera to record the bump sound. Beeps are procedurally generated.
