But the use of microphone as the input is crazy! Nice job :)


My highscore is 47.
And F%$K those birds.
Cute art and sound too.
Fun entry :) good job
Novel idea using the microphone for the control. I only got a PB of 27ft, after all the attempts to get even that far I'm too light headed to continue. I'll see about getting a new PB later.
Man, I would never came up with an idea that uses the mic as input! Very creative!
"No no no no, F%$#in Bird!" and next try=)
Спасибо!
Little thing for extended version: The guy falls to the left and shouting brings him to the right. Feels a bit asymmetric, any idea how to make it more symmetric?
@d3kryption there should be a warning visible in the instruction screen if no microphone was found - if a microphone is found when the game starts, you can also hear yourself & see visual feedback. otherwise, you might want to check your systems settings for the microphone
@itzemii thanks! the initial idea was to use different pitches of the voice to go left/right, but it was too difficult to use, so we simplified it. (I could think of 1-2 other possibilities, but you can only do so much in a gamejam)
