First, for the windows build you might want to mention that you need the x86 build of the VC2012 redistributable: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679
I needed to rate this game since you and I had similar takes on the theme.
Talk about Nintendo hard! I like that you had different sound effects to tell you where you were in relation to the things around you. A key or description would have been helpful, or even just hinting that the different sounds have meaning. I needed to open up the map to reverse engineer what the sounds meant. Even with the map open it was a bit of a challenge to find the end.
Overall great concept. You might consider polishing it up a bit and submitting it here: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?id=7201

super hard but interesting. I found it difficult to tell if the main sound was hitting the walls or moving.
Nice game well done! :)

Like the concept; I just wish I could figure out what the different sounds actually are. XD Also, I couldn't quite figure out whether movement is "absolute" (i.e. up, down, left, right) or "relative" (i.e. forward, backwards, turn left, turn right).
Interesting game, it's pretty hard and takes
... takes a while to figure out. But cool concept overall.
Accidentally submitted the comment early lol xD

Awesome idea; claustrophic and obviously minimal when it comes to graphics... Haven't managed to solve it yet but have a partial map on paper :-) nice job!

Couldn't find the BUILD file. Sadly "blind.exe is not a valid Win32 application". Would love to "see" this game. ^^

@GranaDa I didn't test the windows build, but as Spiridios mentioned, you might need this:

It didn't do anything except display BLIND start screen.

@Jim did you try pressing Enter and turning up your sound? :p
Interesting. I like the concept. Difficulty curve was steep - a little too steep for me. Aside from that, the only thing I had trouble with was figuring out how to rate this game for 'graphics.'

Interesting game once I figured out what was going on. Would be cool if it had a story.

Great idea! I tried to solve it with pen and paper but I gave up...
Great idea for a minimal game, fitting the theme brilliantly. Enjoyed sitting there with my eyes shut and fumbling my way around the maze. Good work.
I loved it! I just sat back in my chair, closed my eyes and wandered around. I've never been able to do that in a game before!
An expanded game with a larger variety of sounds and such would be cool!
