Hey guys i have started working on a game about echolocation. and I will be posting updates here.  
here is the game:

> **[Flowlab.io - Echolocator](https://flowlab.io/game/play/2668361)**
>
> \# Controls #### Movement W: Jump, A: Left, D: Right, #### Abilities E: Echo #### Other Space: Continue (during certain events) # Description ### Devlog link: \[Echolocator...

If you suggest a screenshot to use for it will consider anything. Mainly because I’m not super professional 😄 anyway do you want to get pinged of updates from this game?

> You were expreimented on, but when you tried an xepreimental drug it caused you to go blind. After you lost your eyesight a shadowy figure youve never met before shows up and teaches you the art of echolocation. Now that you can see things using sound you venture off to find the scientist that caused you all of this trouble. Will you get your revenge? or will you die trying?

Um, change your post to delete your timezone… I can see where you live. Just a heads up

And thanks for the heads up. Ik it says the time zone of where I live but just with a timezone it is very difficult to pinpoint the location of 1 user

Some of the platforms you are intended to jump on are a bit high, and some of parts of the level don’t appear until you press “E” though it might have been an intention. Aside from that, I don’t see anything wrong with it.

Cool concept! Are the monsters going to be blind but have great hearing? Because that would be awesome!

This is a pretty annoying gimmick. It could be cool as a horror game, but 2d horror is really difficult.

There’s not really much ways to expand upon this.

You could be right about the difficulty, but I find that something of a pass. Imo it’s a great concept. Let’s hope the execution of the full project gets a good amount of plays and likes.

I’d heavily advise against treating plays and likes as anything important. Flowlab really isn’t at a point where either of those matter.

I’m just saying people need to play it
