Oh man, it's a classic ! I use to play that kind of game forever ago, Great work man !
Good job you did there mate, congratz !
Man i didn't believe i'd find such a gem. Felt very Plague Inc of course but i liked it so oh well why not revamp the idea.
Only regret is that I lost because i couldn't select australia at some point :( but it was anyways, good job !!
Hey man, gave your game shot too !!
I liked the idea but you should set the game to fullscreen by default, when the mouse exits the window it breaks aiming, took a couple minutes to figure it out ^^'.
Anywas the charging/aiming system was a good idea and it was cool to have AIs playing the same game so you have my vote for that ! ;)
Awsome.
Hey man good job on this !
Was a bit weird at first but then I kinda figured what you did there and yeah, it works :)
I liked the visuals but I couldn't stand the audio for the whole duration of the game haha :D
Oh man that was great. The hibrid turret/companion mecanism, what an awsome piece of thoughts food... and great fun too !!!
Really good job, gave you my new highest rating.
Hey there, I like your take on the theme !!
At first I thought you were using actual speed recognition technology but then I tried the game and was surprized it wasn't the case, and I had fun anyways ! You've got some good base idea for something more elaborated man.
In my game I use the player's microphone as a weapon, I thought I wouldn't be the only one but maybe i'll be haha. If you want to take a look at it, it's there:

(it's not as elaborated as your game but pretty fun with a bit of imagination :D)
Cheers man
Man this is so hard but i also really liked it !!!
Lacks of balance and makes my super rig lag after a while but anyways the best score I've given so far :D
Awsome job !!!
Great mood, lightings and scary sounds always get that job done right haha :D
I only wish you would have gone full 3D instead of sprites for character & AIs but was great anways ;)
Good job man, too bad its flash it would be a fun little time killer on mobile !
Hey guys, thanks a lot for your comments !
I fixed the linux link, must have messed it up at the last minute :(
@RainbowSexyFish sorry to hear that mate.. Sadly I didn't have time to battle test it with various hardware, only my own gaming stuff. With a bit more time I'd have added a calibration screen, which would have allowed you to get the game to react properly with your hardware/drivers/settings.
@croze i'm not sure i understand... isn't blowing random stuff up a standard in games ? Game has a simple arcade mode, you get 1 score point per sphere exploded, and you pass to the next level when you clear the screen (spheres spawn and move faster) !!
Anyways thank you all for giving it a chance !!!
Thanks man, damn you're the second comment saying that, makes me wish I had tested it on other computers :(
You could try to lower the amplification of your mic, but i don't know if that would be enough anways. I didn't realize but my mic has a pretty good noise cancelation so the dot line was completely flat when i wasn't yelling/blowing in it :/
@dalbinblue thanks a lot !!!
haha yeah this game is actually about doing your daily exercises ;)
Glad it worked for you, at least partially since it should register your sound in live, you were supposed to see the dot line move up with your voice from left to right once per second. Could be a PC/mac difference tho.
@Johan Blade oh thanks a lot mate :), means a lot !
Thanks also for the advice, I'll keep in mind for future contributions that this is something that needs to be very clear to players.
Hey I just checked your game, graphics reminded me some game I use to play as a kid, good job on it. Makes wish I had some talent for drawing stuff haha ^^.
@edve98 thanks and yeah sorry about that, I didn't think about it this week end and my mic has good noise cancellation that I completely forgot about :/
Glad you liked the concept anyways, I was seeing lots of promotion about games with unconventionnal weapon/ammo pictures but I had another vision of the theme and I couldn't miss such opportunity to think outside the box :D
Thanks @Team MAC ! Really glad you liked it ^^.
I started with great ambitions, wanted different sounds to give varying shapes to attacks but that wasn't going to fit in the time frame so I settled for something a lot simpler...
The dot line represents one second of audio samples summed by groups of 100, so the highest the samples are in a group the highest your dots go up the screen and the bigger they get.
If you wisper a low 'u' sound you should be able to see the current position and yell right before getting bellow a sphere you want to blow up.
I personnaly find it a lot more satisfying to just try to fill the whole screen making weird noises and pass levels to increase difficulty :p
