YOUR ROAR // #LD33

Roar into your microphone to attack unsuspecting cuties! The louder you roar the faster you charge towards your prey. Use the 'A' and 'D' keys to steer yourself as you eat up as many cuties as you can and try not to get shot by the security cuties!

'A' and 'D' to turn.
Roar into your microphone to move forward and attack.
(If you don't have a mic, Space Bar works too.)
Eat as many peeps as you can to get points and HP.
Don't die!

Very innovative!

(The crash was with the windows version, btw)

I tried to run the game but got a screen that said "You have no recording device!" and then a dialog with the following text

Thanks for the info David. I assume you didn't have a mic plugged in when you started the game? (Let me know if that's not the case.) I forgot to change some of the initialization code to not quit the game if you don't have a mic plugged in. Will upload a fix (as soon as itch.io's google cloud servers are fixed).

Simple and well executed, you've created a fun little gem! I'm sure I'd appreciate it more if I had a mic to play with, but the idea and execution are sound. I was extremely fond of being able to blend into the crowd by keeping my monster quiet - was this intentional? Anyhow, I really liked this entry - great work, and looking forward to seeing your future games!

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Yep, Mach, the sneaky aspect was intended. :)

Thanks for adding a Spacebar option, but I get:

Error: You have no mic.

Fun and innovative! Very nice game.

Simply awesome. Best 5 minutes of gameplay so far today!

andreiichim27 Aug 2015, 01:26

That's just awesome! Great use of the microphone.
Great game to play with your friends. Local multiplayer would be interesting... on different computers I guess.

Cool and unique contorl scheme. I ended up just blowing into my mic for control, which was still satisfying.

kaype27 Aug 2015, 04:28

I absolutely love these graphics! Really modern looking and clean. I even dug out my mic to go and play this game because I thought it had looked so interesting.
