hello all.
I have just released sonic invaders, an arcade game entirely in audio done in darkbasic.
here's some info:
-----------------------
Sonic invaders is an audio arcade game. It is played and navigated entirely in audio, the screen does not need to be looked at at any point. Player control is through keyboard only. This makes it ideal for blind or sight impaired persons, as well as gamers looking for somehting different. Headphones should be used because the gameplay is heavily based on the positioning of the sounds in the stereo field. It is extremely difficult to play with speakers, unless they are properly aligned, and, even then, not recommended. The game features many expertly crafted levels that take the player from easy to extremely difficult situations (check out level 40!). A lot of work has gone into gameplay and pacing to make it a gripping and exciting experience. There are full audio instructions, plus a tutorial-practice session to get the player going.
