Kill the Mosquito

Kill the Mosquito, a game for the sound project by Zeyang Li(Linus).

Goal

The goal of this project is to create gameplay using sound.

Method

The user controls a fly swatter to kill a mosquito. The user cannot see the mosquito but could here it every 3 seconds, so he/she has to sort of guess the mosquito's position by the sound it generates. The mosquito image is from http://www.fotosearch.com/bthumb/ITS/ITS223/itf139026.jpg, all other assets are original.

Novelty

This is the first sound-driven kill the mosquito game.

Results

I pretty much met my goal and the game is actually fun to play. The only problem is that it's hard to tell the vertical localtion of the mosquito just by listening. It made me wonder whether that's a natural thing or it's just the sound driver does not provide that much spatial resolution.
