Footsteps
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Footsteps is an
audio game created for the Audiogame Jam 2016.
In this game you play as a sword fighter who can only count on their hearing ability.
Find your opponent and try to hit them before they do. One hit is all it takes to die.
How to play
- You need a gamepad. A headset is also strongly recommended.
- Listen carefully to the sounds. While moving you will hear yourself through the ears of your opponent. In return they will hear themselves through you.
- Once you're close enough, try to hit your opponent, one hit leads to death
Two modes are available: Player vs CPU and Player vs Player

This is really a good idea to build on.
I mean, in my opinion, the next step is to go deeper in striking mechanism and complexity like direction.
I am not sure though if player rotation is envolved as I was also using the right stick assuming it affects anything but if it is not then thats another way.
Good job for the idea.
I uploaded a new build based on a newer version of the game engine. It should have a better support for gamepads. However the problem you're describing seems to be related to (very) low framerate. I hope this new version helps, but I'm not sure how to fix that if it doesn't.
Thanks for checking the game though, tell me how it goes with the new version! 😉
Thank you for the kind words ☺️
It's really cool idea.
Thank you! 😊
