BlindSide App Reviews

With IOS5.1 on iphone4 game doesnt run very well. I cant resume game, The application crashes and returns home. A the beginning of game, when monster comes, the application crashes too. I hope you will change it... Id like to play it one day! Thank you for your nice working!

A wonderful game, reealistic, with more than I hoped of angst, adrenaline... The sounds, the atmosphere, the stereo, make the scenes appear so real, this game is an excellent realisation. What a pity its so quickly ended ! I could play hours and hours !

This game is really interesting, i will give 5 stars when i can resume my game !

Credentials: Braid, Jason Roher, Dear Esther, humble indie bundles, I think you get it. I dont normally write reviews but when I do, its because I really want to support the game. You probably came to read this review because the concept of the game sounds fantastic. Let me assure you, that the concept really is fantastic. The mood, atmosphere, plot and characters are all well crafted to the themes and concepts advertised. We can even see the aliens as a metaphor for the players experience of the unknown. Just as we are being immersed in a new game universe, the character is literally being confronted with an alien creature. So why 3 stars. Quite frankly, its the user interface. The iphone uses tilting or compass rotation to control player roation. These are horrible interfaces that are somehow supposed to mimic the fine tuned senses and motor control of the remarkable human body. If I were to go blind, I would expect to have a heightened sense of my motor control abilities. Instead, this interface acts as a handicap. Its like Daredevil went blind but also became a parapalegic. Im not an athlete by any means but Im pretty good at military drill and I could probably do two hundred right turns blindfolded and open my eyes facing the same wall. Im also pretty adept at exploring places in the dark and I do love orienteering. But the interface isnt going allow you to maintain your sense of direction. One of the key elements is knowing which way north is. Why then would the developers choose to use controls that dont work? Did they ever notice that none of the hundreds of compass apps are worth a dime if you cant also be walking in a straight line at the same time? So this all boils down to great thematics meets terrible UI equals mixed UX. That being said, the developers plan on releasing a PC version which I am confident will remove the need to use gimicky interface. So that being said, buy this app! Support this endeavour in game design. Help the gaming industry open its eyes to posibilities.

Amazing atmosphere and the birth of a new gaming genre. This is a great game.

Great idea and play experience. Looking forward to next eposode. A

Cant get past the title screen, Im using iPhone 5 and have reinstalled without success. I will revise rating upon improvement

Im on on a 4S with iOS 6.1.1 and I cant get past the start new game button, it freezes and exits to iOS home. Unfortunate nice premise but Ive no idea if the game is any good - please fix and I will re-review.

I havent finished the game yet but Im loving it so far.

Great audio game! It works well for sighted and VoiceOver users equally well. I am definitely looking forward to future games from this developer.

This game was incredibly disturbing for me. It doesnt have any vidual gore or anything else associated with horror games, but it was scary enough for me to have to stop playing as soon as I encountered the first monster. If you are easily scared or startled, this game is not for you.

Scary... but fun as hell!!

Get a good set of comfortable headphones, sit in a office chair and close your eyes.... Great game, I can wait to explore more

I really enjoyed this game. The story was compelling, and the game play was immersive. Im actually blind myself, so I thought this might be easy for me. It was pretty challenging and a lot of fun. Well worth the price tag. Buy this, you wont regret it.

Thanks for this game

Scary, but fun. Cant wait for more episodes!

Specs says it works with iPad, I have a gen 1 iPad. Crashed on trying to start a new game every time. Please fix it - or at least specify which generation device it works with. I know I am only out a few bucks but it still ticks me off as this is happening rather often. Developers please be honest with your information. ***UPDATE*** spoke with the developer and the problem is with the App Store not with them. I always check the device requirements that Apple posts with the apps. Apparently there not to concerned about being specific when it comes to the iPad. In all fairness to the developer they DO state at the top of their description that it only works with the gen 2 iPad on. I just missed it. They are working on an update to address the issue. 5 stars on principle.

Im having a very hard time with this game. I want to like it, but Im having a hard time getting around – its hard to tell even if your device has registered that youve turned. Also: the voice acting leaves a thing or two to be desired. Wish I hadnt bought this.

This has absolutely marvelous potential! I wish I had seen the fact that it wasnt compatible with the iPhone 4 before buying, but, Oh well, My bad! Even so, the bad performance on my iPhone 4 still showed how excellent this could be. The sounds are great, the 3D sound scape is very well done, the acting is appropriately scarey, hammy, and humarously entertaining. The navigation scheme and cues are quite well thought out. My very brief experience with a iPhone 4S still produced varried degrees of success with rotation working as it should. It seems that a complete shut-down and restart is required when rotation wont cause the character to turnh. When it does work, navigation by sound placement and sliding against obsticles works quite well. Nicely done, and best of luck in its continued development. I look forward to having a compatible device to play it on some time soon.

This game is a truly immersive entryway into a sightless world. I regret that my hearing is starting to go, but Im able to enjoy such simple things as crossing the street and finding a fountain. Be sure to have some charge before you play, but otherwise be ready for a truly innovative experience. One tip: you can change your angle as you brush up against things, and the sound will change accordingly. Enjoy!
