Description

Gameplay based on Sound Input or on any other form of auditory performance may introduce unfamiliar challenges to players. One interesting approach to deal with them is to provide in-game (diegetic) feedback and assistance.

In some examples this feedback promotes positive emotions, which: a) contributes to balance the distress of unachievement, b) favors cognition by maintaining the player in a positive mood, and c) provides an additional source of entertainment.

A complementary way to tackle complexity is to require Levelled Performance regarding sound performance, in the same manner as it is done with other gameplay aspects.
