"The sound effects at work in Blind Samurai are very well done and help to elevate the game’s core mechanic far above being a mere gimmick due to its dynamic implementation of environmental effects like rain and wind that continually keep players on their toes."

It seems very nice.

cool, ill wait for the ios version

Hello Everyone! Thank you for the warm welcome.

Let me address your question, SLJ. Blind Samurai is the first blind accessible mobile action game. There really isn't a genre like it. There are no menus because game play is seamless. The player is situated in the center. You swipe toward direction sound is coming from.

No offense taken! I too am a man of words. It may be appropriate to say Blind Samurai is an action arcade style game. I've played several audio games, and there really isn't anything similar. Oh well, I hope you enjoy Blind Samurai!

Well As Muhammad said,  please let us know when the Ios version comes out and I'll be very glad to try the game for myself.
glad my remarks weren't offensive, I certainly look forward to seeing what is unique about this one, and there definitely aren't enough action audio games however you cut it.

Hi.
@chadfahlman: Can you please make a recording of the game to show us what's so unique about your game? I have searched on Youtube but don't find anything useful.
In the IOS game called Sixth sense, you have guns and slashing weapons. You are standing at the same spot and shooting and slashing zombies who are coming from different directions. I currently don't see the difference between this game and your game, accept for your game sounds only like a slashing game. In Sixth sense, you can upgrade your weapons which is a nice feature in my opinion. What kind of those features does your game have to offer?
In an other game called A Blind Legend, you actually walk around and do other stuff as well. But the fighting parts are actually slashing, where you have a blade where you swipe in the direction the enemies are coming from...
So... It would be nice to read and hear what makes your game that much unique. Please show us a recording of a gameplay.

@Raiden, death is correct here, if your going to voice such a strong criticism of the game, please give reasons for why you think as you do, otherwise it just sounds like  doing nothing but bashing the game. After all, how can a developer improve a game  you give them no feedback, and how can other forum members decide  to trust your opinion about a game if you give no arguments in favour of it.

@Slj, Myself, I will reserve judgement on the game until I have played it, after all not all games need upgradable weapons and extras if the mechanics work well enough, look at the other blind samurai (the flash one on pc by evil dog productions), as an example of a game which just features slashing and blocking but has amazing mechanics and great cut scenes.

I will say a little more information about what you actually do in the game  be good to know, ie how complex the mechanics are, whether enemies attack, if you need to block, if it is the usual left/right stereo target style, how many different types of enemy there are etc, however in general I will wait  until the Ios version has come out and I've had a chance to play it myself to make up my mind,  ---- heck I'll probably need to do this to add the game to our site database anyway.

Raiden, has it occurred to you that this is the first appearance of this guy on the forum? True, he said he's checked out some audiogames, but he seems new to the audio gaming scene. Think about it, a simple, or not so simple, slashing game is what some folks start off with. Hell, most folks start off with Guess the Number/Blackjack/begger-your-neighbor style games to get the randomization concept down before they go on to bigger games. And that's alright. You're not gonna start off with an action adventure as your first game. So if you're gonna criticize the dev for their first game, imagine yourself as a developer before you go criticizing it like it's nothing. As for me, I have an android device myself, so I'll go get me a promo code and try this thing out.

After trying it it's definitely a good starting point, although I currently see no way to exit. Come to think of it, a menu would be nice. I see why you didn't put one in because you were trying to make the interface simple, but several mobile games use menus without the need for talkback or voiceover, Audio game hub and Blind Cricket for example. Both games allow you to swipe up and down to choose an option and double tap to select without the need to enable talkback thanks to prerecorded menu options. That can especially be useful for viewing achievements. The early levels are rather repetitive, but maybe you could introduce multiple slashes to destroy later opponents, or multiple enemies in one round rather than the few seconds of break you get in between each one when the drum plays. At this point, I'm able to play the game on without headphones, and before anyone asks this is a nexus 6p with stereo speakers, lol.

Figured that would exit. I did did figure out that home doesn't work because the app doesn't suspend its state in while in background. In other words, you hit home, you get owned. And yes, some newer phones do actually have stereo speakers that are well spaced apart.
