Two commentators trying to narrate a game which is controlled by the volume of their voices = some really hilarious interactions.

Interesting concept. Normally I already have problems with games because of the sound, most of the time I use headphones, this would be a game that I'd very rarely be able to play (at least using the voice mode, and without voice mode this game is pointless imo.)

Also, it may just be me but I'm really getting tired of "beautiful hand-drawn environments". To be honest if I wasn't told that these games are hand-drawn I wouldn't know. Which begs the question, does it even matter how it's drawn? The only way I could see it matter to some people is if they have something against computer technology, but then these are computer games so that doesn't really work out.

I think it does respond to pitch, I noticed the balloon rising faster when Jess was "singing". The game looks fun and silly, looking forward to trying it out probably because you two made it look so entertaining and terrifying at the same time. :)

@skipper1993 @InquisitorCrox I can actually sing! This is not signing. This is wailing.

@skipper1993 @InquisitorCrox Well, I'm a professional games journalist so I doubt you'll "see it" any time soon =]

You'll catch more flies with honey, you know.

@tempertress @skipper1993 @InquisitorCrox No offence, but I'll believe that when I see it. I’m a professional musician and so far all I've seen of your vocal "talent" is the aforementioned wailing.
