GNILLEY channels your gamer rage through yelling
Australian developer Glen Forrester (aka Radix) has unveiled GNILLEY, a game that you control by screaming into a microphone. The experimental Zelda clone recognizes multiple kinds of vocal racket, from a steady “Aaaaahhhh” that opens doors and passageways to full-on shriek that causes enemies to explode. It also kind of reminds of me of that ridiculous LaserScope peripheral for the NES, only a lot less lame. The video below shows a demonstration of the game at last week’s Global Game Jam in Sydney, Australia. Needless to say, it’s pretty entertaining to see these mechanics in action. GNILLEY (which is ‘YELLING’ backwards, in case you haven’t caught on) wound up snagging a ‘Most Original’ award at the Game Jam, and can be downloaded for free from GGJ’s website. But for goodness sake, have mercy on your neighbors (or invite them over to play). Hit the jump to see it in action.
