Mosquash

Welcome to Mosquash, the reflex-based audio accuracy game where you only need your ears. Designed from the ground up for total accessibility, Mosquash challenges you to track, catch, and squash pesky mosquitoes using only 3D spatial audio.

The Gameplay

In a world with no visuals, you are the center of the action. Using advanced spatial sound, you must listen for the tell-tale buzz of a mosquito.

Air Catch: Tap exactly where you hear the buzz to catch it mid-air for maximum points.

Mosquash: Listen for the heartbeat! That means it’s landed on you. Double-tap anywhere to squash it before it bites.

Features

• Fully Accessible: Built specifically for blind and visually impaired players with a built-in screen reader for health and score updates.
• 3D Spatial Audio: High-fidelity sound cues that change in pitch, volume, and muffle based on the mosquito’s position.
• Tactile Feedback: Snappy haptic vibrations confirm every successful Air Catch and Mosquash.
• Ears-Only Challenge: Sighted players can test their auditory reflexes by playing with their eyes closed.
• Pro Latency: Optimized audio engine for the fastest response times on Android.

Full Game

The full game includes the Forest, Cave, Seaside, City, and Survival Mode, along with the core tutorial.

The free demo version includes the tutorial and the Jungle scene. It is limited to 10 mosquitoes before restart.

Survival Mode: How long can you last when the swarm arrives? After successfully completing the first four scenes, Survival Mode becomes available. In this mode, mosquitoes do not fly toward you. Instead, three mosquitoes spawn simultaneously in different locations, and you have ten seconds before they bite.

High Score Tracking: Compete with yourself to become the world’s mightiest Mosquasher.

Requirements

Headphones Required: For the best and intended gameplay experience, and to accurately track mosquitoes in 3D space, you are encouraged to wear stereo headphones.

Tutorial

Press and hold two fingers for three seconds to restart from the tutorial phase.

Welcome to Mosquash. This is an audio accuracy game with no visuals. Use headphones for the intended gameplay experience. Tap once to hear the next tip.

You are in the center of the screen. When you hear a mosquito buzz, tap once where you think the mosquito is to perform an Air Catch.

The faster you perform an Air Catch, the more points you will earn. Missing a mosquito results in a two-point health penalty. A successful Air Catch rewards you with one health point.

If the mosquito lands on you, it will stop buzzing and you will hear a two-second heartbeat. Double-tap anywhere to Mosquash it. If you do nothing, the mosquito will bite and vanish, costing you five health points.

Between mosquito spawns, press and hold one finger for two seconds to pause the game and hear your current statistics. Continue holding for three more seconds to toggle vibration on or off.

To restart from the tutorial phase, press and hold two fingers for three seconds. The game will begin shortly. Stay calm and avoid spamming the screen.

Have Fun!

Developer’s Note: This game actually helped me catch mosquitoes in real life. 🙂
