Thread: Indiegame Mindout released, mindcontrol with the MindWave headset

Mindout is a casual but intense game that you control in part with your brainwaves. It works with the MindWave headset from NeuroSky that measures brainwaves and is used as a game controller. Your mind is reflected in the game.

In Mindout you destroy bricks by hitting them with a ball, reminiscent of retro classics like Breakout and Arkanoid. But in Mindout your mental powers give energy to the ball, so instead of destroying one brick at a time you can blast away dozens at once.

Play Mindout and learn to focus your mind to make your explosions bigger. Bounce the brain-powered ball into waves of incoming bricks. Look out for sabotage bricks and chase after bonus bricks to give you the edge you need in over 30 levels of brainpowered play.

Mindout is an indie game by indie devs Dreams of Danu. Take a peek at the Mindout mini-site at mindoutgame.com for more info.

What? If I understood correctly, it reads your mind?

That's right. It doesn't read your exact thoughts, but it measures your brainwaves to see how strongly you are concentrated or relaxed.

Dude, that's wicked.

Well, I need to try it, to be convinced.

You must buy the headset I guess so no thanks.

Too expensive eh? Yeah.

Who knows. It might be expensive but I wouldn't want to give my money for a headset that reads my brainwaves so I could play this game. But who knows, I might change my mind.

Well, basic headsets are expensive. Even headphones are expensive (some of good ones)

Sure, I use some cheap headphones.
