Voice Control Obby Game

Overview

• Game requiring microphone inputs to control character movements (jumping).
• Must use microphone to jump; muted mic means no jumping.

Gameplay Mechanics

• Jumping: Only possible with an active microphone. Character jumps for as long as speaking into mic.
• Players need to continuously say "jump" or make noise to keep the character jumping.
• Strategies: Players evolve different strategies to jump (e.g., repeating "jump" or making continuous noise).

Game Experience

• Challenges: Difficult stages requiring precise timing (e.g., navigating obstacles and tricky jumps).
• Community Interaction: Players can interact and hear each other, making it chaotic and challenging.
• Communication issues: Muting or foul language can result in temporary voice chat bans but gameplay (jumping) still works. Temporary suspensions affect player communication.
• Emotional Responses: Players express frustration and excitement with game mechanics (e.g., internal rage, success elation).

Technical Issues

• Voice Chat Suspension: Language violations (e.g., saying "damn it") may lead to temporary suspension and muting of player’s mic.
• Bug/Glitch: Player can still talk to make their character jump even if voice chat is suspended. However, they cannot hear others nor communicate.

Key Moments

1. Overcoming Obstacles: Players yell “jump” repeatedly to clear obstacles and challenging parts of the game.
   • E.g., running starts, making big jumps, ensuring continuous yelling to keep jumping.
2. Voice Suspension: Example of a player censored for language and the resulting effects on gameplay.
3. Endurance & Frustration: Prolonged gameplay leads to physical exhaustion (throat pain) due to the required vocal input.
4. Positive Affirmations: Players use encouraging self-talk to motivate themselves (e.g., "I will succeed").

Final Remarks

• Engaging but physically draining due to continuous vocal input.
• Important to watch language due to community standards and potential suspensions.
