Actually Yohandi, it's quite possible to have jumps keyed to legnth of time
the key is held on a pc.
one freeware graphical game I play is a remake of Turrican, which was famous
for it's exploration and difficult ledge jumping, and this is very much
preserved in the remake.
Beware the Grue!

The problem I find with audio games that doesn't exist in mainstream games
is the fact there's no velocity sensitivity when pressing buttons. Meaning
you can press the keys as hard or softly as you want and it won't make the
slightest difference for jump distances etc. in mainstream platforming
games sometimes you need to press and hold down the button if you're doing
a really high jump. we don't have such control for audio games. is this
because this wouldn't be possible to do on a keyboard? Also you guys
mention ledges hanging out above the lava. I'd so love to see something
like this in an audio game. this is definitely something sighted folks had
to worry about when playing. in games like supermario there were also
levels where you had various platforms that appeared above lava or pits or
such similar hazards that would disappear if you didn't get across them
fast enough. some levels even had a whole bunch of them that you had to
make it through in succession without falling to your doom. These types of
things is what I'd love to experience in an audio game.

Hi Clement,
In Monte there were ledges hanging out above the middle of the lava
pits you could jump onto and then use them to jump safely to the next
ledge etc. They weren't exactly in the lava, but hanging out above the
lava. Make sense?
Cheers!
