How to create FPS using audio not graphics
summary
Demo of an audio-only zombie shooter that uses the in-house papa engine and 188 HRTF functions to place sounds so precisely players can localize targets with headphones. Core design removes player movement, keeps arcade pacing, and implements simple touch controls (swipe up to change weapon, swipe down to reload, shake for melee). Sound-first systems include heartbeat as health, 15 enemy types with distinct cues, weapon audio for ammo state, and leaderboards (top score shown: 281 kills).
