Review

We've had some amazing paralympic games already, see Boccia and Wheelchair Rugby for reference, but here's one with some fascinating tech innovation. This one asks you to use your ears to guide you through a football game.

You're presented with four different football challenges: passing, shooting, tackling and dribbling. All of these ask you to use your ears to angle yourself based on the headphone and then hit the relevant button. At first it's disconcerting, awkward even... but then you close your eyes and focus, and then it's quite rewarding. Check it out.


Controls

Headphones, and mostly the arrow keys and space bar.

Tips

In most of the challenges looking at the screen is just confusing... try to close your eyes and focus on the sound... then it should be clearer, you mostly want to adjust so that the sound is central.
