How does your game represent Mode?
The game uses a alternative mode of input to reinvent the classic dino run game :)

So cool to see somebody else also go for this alternative mode of input. We also had problems with latency. The art is the cutest and the vibe just works. Thank you
Yeah, the latency is a bit of an issue. It's interesting how latency creeps in and gradually gets worse as the game goes on. It's perhaps why we haven't seen mic input used widely in other games.
I made my game in Godot and I got the feeling that the live audio input was coming in separate to the game's tick function, as when I paused the main tick process to restart the game, I noticed that the audio input got really out of sync.
Oh and thanks for playing :)
As mentioned in lower posts, I didn't make the graphics. My work was just retrofitting the audio input into a MIT licensed tutorial to make the dino jump.
How cool! I didn't expect this mode of input, I liked it a lot, very original. Sometimes it wasn't perfectly synchronized, but it might be an issue on my headphones. Good job! :D
Thanks for playing :) yeah, latency is something that starts to sneak in the longer the play time. Not sure why this is the case.
i like the input method a lot, game just needs more variety honestly. but i love the art. great stuff.
Love the concept of using a non-standard control method. Great job!
cheers, thanks for giving it a play :)
Really great idea and cute graphics! I wish it had a little more substance but the audio input worked perfectly and it was a pretty fun. Great job!
Thanks - yeh, I was sad to not be able to do more with the mechanic. I have a more interesting idea to use mic input for but more complex - for another game jam :)
Your audio input mode is a very clever take on the theme! Graphics look great and the dino is super cute, nice work!
Thanks Gamechoy :) Pretty simple but happy to just submit something!
Just to clarify - I can't take credit for the graphics as my game is a very light modification of a Coding With Russ Dino Run tutorial. The tutorial is MIT licensed for code and assets. My work was just retrofitting the mic input to make the dino jump instead of hitting the spacebar. With that said, yeah, they are cute :)
You are my slave Dino. When I say jump you must jump.
Hmm, I just downloaded and played again - the frame rate was super fast and the dino was running way too quickly. Then when I plugged the PC into a second screen and played it, the dino was running really slow... Def a bug, not a feature!!
hmmmmm, restarted my PC and rebooted the game on single screen and works as it should this time round - what a random bug.
It's nice to be listened to for once. I say jump, he jump. Simple.
ha dino a good boy
When I try to open it it says that "Your graphic card drivers seem not to support the required Vulkan version" does this happen to anyone else?? :(
I really wanted to try the game, the idea of playing using the mic is something new to me :(
the cover image looks really nice tho, I like the graphics
Hey @just_manu, I'll have a look into this.
Yeah, I'm keen to explore more mic-related games, given that most people with PCs / phones have mics now. Interesting issues arise with handling audio input latency / sync mic input with what is happening in frame.
RE the graphics - I can't take credit for that as this game is a very light modification of a Coding With Russ Dino Run tutorial. My work was just retrofitting the mic input to make the dino jump instead of hitting the spacebar.

:(((
Sorry @just_manu - not sure why you would be getting a 401 / unauthoised error. I'm thinking I might upload the game to github in the coming days - will share here and you can tinker around that way.
Ok ok, by the way, you seem to be a nice person, it's nice to find some polite people on the internet, there are few these days.
