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.
----------------------------------

just thought fellow darkbasic programmers would like to know.

Grr! I go to the training, which is when I hear an invader to my left. I hold the left arrow key, but it just keeps getting louder on the left, and then boom! I lose a life. ??? How on earth am I supposed to play this? It makes no sense. I know it really needs headphones, but come on!

Ouch. I'm such a dummy. I should have listened to the instructions. XD Now that I think about it, I don't see how this can be called an invaders game. Maybe you had Missile Command in mind?

Hmm... this game is quite interesting... Maybe I'll play it more later.

yep, missile command was definitely an influence..!

many people complained about the rar archive (pretty stupid of me, have to admit)
