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

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

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.
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
i like the input method a lot, game just needs more variety honestly. but i love the art. great stuff.
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 :)
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.
