Tracking by Sound by imeng

[raw]
made by imeng for Ludum Dare 59 (JAM)

This is a game where you survive relying on sound signals29da2ffad4863cd02225079d7d379533.png Follow sounds to find your way and escape the darkness. 72f5723e0406acbfc7a3a03ee17972d0.png A sudden mysterious illness blinded everyone, leaving people barely able to see. With your eyes useless, you can only survive by listening. Wander through dangerous streets, detect sounds from every threat, and escape before dangers collide with you.

The closer danger gets, the louder and sharper the warning sounds become. One wrong move, and it’s game over. 53e3b68a-e6ed-4819-b26c-b4b23a83b5b7.png Can you find your way to safety only by hearing?

If you are unable to install or open it, you can bypass Windows security and open it anyway. If that still doesn’t work, you can download it on Itch.io.; the link is below.

I’m really sorry, everyone. The game doesn’t support macOS yet.

From what i can see, it looks fun, but as others have said, the embedding on both itch and ludum seems to be broken right now! Leave a comment once you get it working so we can try it out :)

After downloading and extracting the game, Windows may block it from opening. Just ignore the risk and open it directly.

The graphics and music are very pleasing. It's relaxing and soothing for both eyes and ears. I'd prefer the movement to be a bit faster, for my taste. Overall, it's a great game!

The style carries hard.
But when you play blind, it is somewhat hard to understand in which direction the exit is in general, and you have to vacuum the location.
But the style really carries.

The artstyle is amazing. But the game felt quite flat. Almost all levels can be solved by going up + right at first (Or up + left if starting in middle). Would be good if different threats had different sounds? The walking threats had different but similar sounds depending on their direction of walking. And one more touch that would feel wonderful - revealing the level after you complete it. Other than that, I did enjoy playing it

A unique artstyle. Would have wished for maybe like a sprint key to help when back tracking.

A wonderfully charming game with distinctive, adorable art style. The creative use of sound as a key signal element is brilliant. As the difficulty ramps up in the later stages, the overlapping alarm sounds perfectly crank up the tension, haha.

Very immersive and cute. I had fun playing. Cool idea to use loudness, but it was somewhat hard to get the direction from where the sound was comming. Maybe, if you included spatial audio it would be easier. Sometimes the sound overlapped so mutch, that I couldn't make anything out. Espetially in lvl 7, where you start next to two loud noises.

But as i said, it was fun and a fun mechanic you could build on. Thanks for the experience.

The graphics are adorable. The localization concept is great, definitely fun. A game that can almost be played with my eyes fully closed is definitely great for inclusion, even though then you won't be seeing the cute graphics!
