Hello! Just letting you know the third jam has been announced and would love if you participated again since your entry was so amazing!
https://itch.io/jam/games-for-blind-gamers-3
I like how the sound effects are silly and very distinct. It makes me think of someone running around, slamming doors and startling animals. Adding some sort of story or setting would help make the game more interesting. The gameplay is classic but I would have liked to see some new twist on the idea. I also found the voice rather annoying, he is quite long-winded and repetitive. The game doesn't need so much explanation and live commentary, let's get to the action already! :)
You can skip the intro by pressing Return.
I agree that the voice is a bit too long between chains. I'll change it after the jam.
It's a good idea and the audio is pretty clear. I also like that is a very light weight game, my machine is very old and there are many games in this jam I cannot play. Things that got in my way of playing: in between games, I could not test the keys to see what sounds they are associated with. The first time I loaded the game I started a playing without testing the keys to learn the sounds and ended up very confused. I had to reload the whole page to be able to test the sounds in the very first game screen. Also, in between games it would be nice if I pressed enter before the voice finished saying my previous score, the audio would cut and then a new game would start. Right now, the audio saying the score keeps playing and the new game starts and the sounds just overlap each other.
I thought I made the speech stop whenever you press a botton before it ends, must have missed that one.
I didn't want the intro text to be too long, but I guess I should have made it more clear to test the sounds before you start the game.
I'll make sure to change both point after the voting period.
The sounds were funny and this is definitely blind accessible. I don't have much experience with these types of games, but if there are other similar games, as the comment below suggests, there might be a way to develop this game. The first thing that comes to mind is some kind of story element. Perhaps the sounds are some kind of code that help you access different parts of a story or space.
I kept this one simple because I didn't have much time. I was working on several other game jams at the same time. Even so, I learned a lot creating this game and playing the other submissions. For another jam I created a grid based dungeon crawler. The jam is over, the game still needs a lot of work. I'm thinking of making that one accessible for blind gamers.
