Děkuji moc, skvělé připomínky! Dnes už je asi nestihnu implementovat, ale bylo by pěkné aspoň některé z nich zvládnout (hlavně myšlenka odlišení stavu konverzace a hry se mi velice líbí). Mimochodem, zpráva při stisku H zaokrouhlí směr na jeden z šesti, tedy ohlásí ten nejprominentnější.
Thanks a lot! I considered assigning up to space and down to shift, but there's also a main engine that will be important in some levels that aren't implemented yet, so that took Space instead. I was also influenced by Kerbal Space Program's EVA controls, so it probably felt more natural to me than it would to the usual player. Key rebinding is something I want to implement though! :D
And yeah, I agree, the dialogue kinda got in the way when I wanted to quickly playtest something, but I needed to explain the controls thoroughly and also not make it feel too cold :D
- absolutely love the concept! - really great work with the voice lines
- I played with my screen off for roughly 10 minutes
- execution of the spatial audio is great but as a player I often felt lost and confused, afraid of pressing every next button in fear that I completely get lost - I frequently forgot that i need to press space to confirm a dialogue, which only helped to make me feel more disoriented - whether I can or cannot input movement
- the amount of different sounds that each signal unique information was a bit too much for me as a new player, keeping a mental note of what they mean was hard with no visual foundations to lean back on
Thank you! Yeah, buggy sound is something I experienced a lot when playing with both visuals and sounds, and it's possible it might also happen with sound-only on lower performance devices/browsers. I hope this might be better in a desktop export, I will look into it, thanks! And yeah, I also find it hard to orient myself sometimes, I also need to work on that. Thanks again!
Thank you very much! It's actually always possible to scroll left/right in the menus, (though not up/down) as the menus loop around horizontally, but the little arrows are a great idea to improve clarity, thanks! :D
Really great concept! I especially liked the use of directional sounds. The overall vibe reminded me of Iron Lung, with consistent graphics, well-written dialogue, and sound effects that feel spot on.
The blindfolded gameplay mechanic is unique and adds tension, though I found it could get a bit repetitive after a while.
Only bug I have encountered is when you crash (which I did a lot) the sounds bug out, like the audio cuts off for solid 5 seconds, but this could be issue of the web build.

* na začátku jsem měl problém v menu (bez obrazu) najít START
* mluvené instrukce jsou (na mě) mluvené dost rychle
* není jasné, jestli musím klávesy mačkat (opakovaně) nebo jestli stačí držet
* tak či onak, chvílemi pocit, že W/S nic nedělají
* ...aha! Byl jsem uprostřed rozhovoru!
* H uvádí JEDEN směr a rychlost, ale (předpokládám,že) obvykle se (nějakou rychlostí) pohybuji VE TŘECH směrech
* ...také je trochu nepříjemné, že rychlost je až po tom, co se ohlásí stav/poškození modulu,
(je to jako když na nádraží hlásí
"Vlak číslo XYZ (to je můj vlak, copak asi budou říkat?),
společnosti ABCD (to vím)
ze směru EFGH (to taky vím),
který dále pokračuje IJKL (to taky vím)
přijede ke třetímu nástupišti (na to jsem celou dobu čekal).")
* ještě jednou ke zprávám: byla ohlášená zpráva, ať stisknu SPACE,
nestiskal jsem, protože jsem si psal poznámky
(mimochodem, jak je to, pokračuje hra i když okno není aktivní?),
a po návratu do hry mi připadalo, že SPACE nic nedělá,
alespoň ne ty ohlášené tři zprávy
- nebylo by vhodné nějak zřetelně (zvukem)
odlišit (podbarvit) stav KONVERZACE a stav HRY?

Děkuji moc, skvělé připomínky! Dnes už je asi nestihnu implementovat, ale bylo by pěkné aspoň některé z nich zvládnout (hlavně myšlenka odlišení stavu konverzace a hry se mi velice líbí). Mimochodem, zpráva při stisku H zaokrouhlí směr na jeden z šesti, tedy ohlásí ten nejprominentnější.
Děkuji za odpověď!
Koukám ještě, že jsme napsal pouze výhrady - a nenapsal jsem, že je to pěkné a originální nápad:
je to pěkné a originální nápad!
Děkuji :D
Played with Radar visuals
Overall heavily positive opinion of the game
+ Very, very interesting idea
+ Fun gameplay mechanic
~ "Shift" for up caught me a bit off guard, I usually expect "Space" for up and "Shift for down"
- The dialogue is slightly too long for my taste

Vypadá to na hodně zajimávý a originální nápad. Bohužel nemám sluchátka, takže nemůžu moc testovat, ale až budu mít čas doma, tak to vyzkouším více.

* Make sure you can find the keyboard. :-)
* pěkný nápad
* ze začátku jsem měl pocit, že mi nereaguje/pomalu_reaguje I a K (i A a D)
* bez sluchátek je to ochuzený zážitek, zkusím si to naslepo, až je budu mít

* playtime: 10 mins
* great sound track, feels polished, but sometimes the sound gets buggy, when there is a lot happening
* kinda hard to navigate and control, I didn't know using only sound, how to react to different situations
Thank you! Yeah, buggy sound is something I experienced a lot when playing with both visuals and sounds, and it's possible it might also happen with sound-only on lower performance devices/browsers.

2025-05-15 13:12:38 I can see what you're going for here, it's very nicely done, I can imagine it certainly being an experience for a blind person
I also appreciate all the menus, settings etc. Add little arrows to the side to see if I can scroll left right up etc.?
Thank you very much! It's actually always possible to scroll left/right in the menus, (though not up/down) as the menus loop around horizontally, but the little arrows are a great idea to improve clarity, thanks! :D

Overall, a very cool and memorable game!
