An on-rails shooter that you control with only your voice.



You're in a high-tech suit, but all your manual controls are dead. Switching to voice control!

🕹 controls: "pon" to shoot, "waaaah" to reload your gun


During calibration, just say "pon" in a normal speaking voice. The game saves the loudness level, and uses that during gameplay.
The targeting reticle disappears when you need to reload. Do not panic, reloading makes it reappear.

C&C very very welcome!

This was my 16th LD!

Re: the theme! I totally failed to keep up with the theme! My initial idea was "at the end of a level, your remaining life is currency used for upgrades". Then I thought what if the upgrades scrolled automatically and you had to say "now" into a mic at the right moment... Then I abandoned the theme in favor of a fun mechanic :id:
Don't feel bad rating me 0/5 on theme
