WORMHOLES is my 1st attempt at any solo jam !
It's a Unity project, and primarily an exercise in generating meshes from audio data. The game starts by recording 10s of audio through your computer's mic input, so you have to allow access to your mic. A hundred levels are generated from these 10s, but you'll be lucky to even reach level 2.
You play as the pilot of a small spaceship, folding space to return home after years of space travel. The tunnels of space/time are long and narrow, and haste is your worst enemy, so make sure to use the hyperbrakes once in a while. They charge in 10s.
The music was made around a 51.2Hz bass, which is the 1st audible frequency to be a multiple of 0.1Hz, a frequency of which the period is... 10s. Also, the time signature being 10/4 and the tempo 120bpm, 2 bars last... ok fuck that, enjoy the trip.
__________
CONTROLS:
Up/down arrows: navigate
Space: hyperbrakes!
______
NOTES:
On Win7, some laptops are set so the mic is inactive when running on batteries. If you're getting flat tunnels, you might want to check that.
Linux version lacks the executable flag, just chmod it.

MAKING OF:
The timelapse video is now available ! :)
