    Another possibility that I've thought of for a while now: Using the Media Keys (Pause/Play/Next/Prev) to control through an RPG. If you hear monster sounds, press Prev (go back) on your headset, and wait until the monster is gone. Something like that. That way you have 4 inputs to an audio-only game

    this was pretty cool to see, only complaint about it is that it is really slow. this is probably because constantly rendering an image for every frame is pretty hard pressuring especially while it also has to read this and interpret index. it is playable doe.

    I think it would be cool to make a game like Lidar but sound based, where you are blind, and need to figure out where you are with sound alone, it could be a horror game that uses paychologicsl horror, and the game could be called xenophobia
    Oh and theres no jumpcares or anything, its literally just you imagining stuff (hence the name xenophobia, which means fear of the unknown) and there are 2 endings, one is you just dont even try, and end up dying of heart attack, and another ending is that you figure out where you are and it just turns out your in ur house after your dad carried you in from the hospital (and the grand reveal is that we are just a kid who is overly paranoid)

      this wouldn't really work unless the canvas size already is 16x16 (which in this case it is), so there's no point in doing that since it's already so small, going any higher res than 16x16 and then compressing it down would result in huge blurring
