Description

Gameplay based on Sound Input or 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 maintain the player in a positive mood, and c) provides an additional source of entertaining.

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.
