Road to TestControl

In this game, players control a challenger in an arena full of randomly spawning bombs. In order to avoid the bombs, player must manually type the direction of travel on the keyboard to trigger movements.

For this game, the focus is to develop a game in the absence of conventional controls. I take this as a great opportunity to explore mind and body coordination. Through the established consciousness of keyboard conventions for controls, I took this into an advantage and made alterations upon it, where players maintain the directional consciousness while they must ensure hand and keyboard coordination to type the directions for movement. It challenges both the player’s ability to employ developed consciousness for hardware experience and game mechanics and the ability to adapt.
