Cool idea :)
I thought it was all pretty well executed, but I think I could have done with greater distinction between the sounds; my main way of dying was mostly to mishear things!

SquareActing (Jam Edition)Very clever application for B&W Jam. Nearly all B lol! I love the use of audio cues instead of visual ones that the player has to rely on. It worked like a book where I had to fill in the gaps in my mind's eye. Cool idea.

Jazz in Black and WhiteVery nice concept in general, and the commentary was pretty cool too. I especially liked that you had one for pausing.
I think some sounds could be a bit more distinct, namely the wall was too similar to regular running for me. Still very cool and original!
Now how can one rate visuals here. Huh.

1-Bit SamuraiOverall, I like the concept. The gameplay is interesting and the snarky voiceover is fun. It was a little hard to tell the difference between some of the sounds, and it took a little time to get used to having to press run again after taking some other action (e.g., when jumping). Nice work!

Lost RemembrancesI downloaded the Mac version of the game and it said it was damaged sadly.

DeterminationThis felt great~! One of my favorites in the Jam so far~! I wish there were more visual cues such as maybe text on screen of the narrator talking to help, but all-in-all, I feel the game achieved what I think it wanted to achieve~ :3

Boo! - A Ghost StoryI really like the idea and it's a nice way to get around the graphics limitations of the jam ;) Also fits quite nicely into the theme since the player has basically lost their "vision". I think that the idea has promise and could definitely be expanded on, but is a bit rough around the edges in some places.
I personally found the reverb a little heavy on the effects; it became a bit difficult to differentiate the different terrain sounds with all of the echoes so I sometimes wasn't sure which sound was playing at a given time. I thought the voice over was really well-acted and well-recorded, but I wasn't sure if the tone was super consistent with the feel of the game. I would've expected something a bit more somber and low-key, though the narrator is very upbeat/energetic (but I tend to like more chill vibes so that's my bias showing a bit).
Broad suggestion: if dev continues, it would also be nice to have a more "reactive" level where there's not so much activity at once. I didn't feel like I was in a very "listening" mode while playing so maybe just something with less constant, more subtle sounds could help break up the pace.
Good job :)
