Fun twist on the QWOP idea! My wife and I had a blast "dancing" :P

Cool dancing, but would've liked to have some kind of objective. Unless I missed it?
Love the graphic style and music.
Controls are relative to the player and not the camera, and since the figures look kind of similar from both front and back, it's hard to tell if you need to press forward or back.

Funny idea! I failed to see the theme in the game, but had fun with it nevertheless.

This game reminded me to "Octodad" and "QWOP" ^^
The game is nice and the art and music fit pretty well.
Controls felt way too frustating to me, but I guess that was the point :P

This is really great I loved it. It's very inspiring. And I completely get the theme interpretation. Well done!

Bwhahahahaah I could do this all day lol

Body parts were flying everywhere. Looks like I need to improve my dancing skills.

This was very fun and caused much laughter. Our dancing skills on the other hand... ;)

I liked his moves, I didnt get the theme but I enjoyd it!

Was I supposed to explode and then just be a pair of legs? Because I was and it was awesome.

alvivar 2015-04-24 02:39

This was really fun! <3

Very interesting. Not entirely sure I got the purpose, but maybe that is the purpose.

andrea 2015-04-25 20:07

That was... weird :D
Nice job!

Well, I'm not sure what to think about this. I guess is to deep for me? :P
The concept is cool, but I didn't understand the purpose of the little circles at the bottom of the screen, and the controls have too little responsiveness. I won't complain about the glitches, since they were mostly fun, but I'd recommend including a reset button. More than once I got stuck in a wall and unable to move, and needed to exit and start again.

The most fun was when I tried to control 4 "dancers" simultaneously. It really looked some modern dancing spectacle!

Hilarious and fun game, although it was far too easy to "glitch-out" the ragdoll physics and have to restart the game.

galanm 2015-04-26 00:54

I like the concept, and the look and feel were perfect for what you were trying to do. I just wish I felt like I had a goal to strive for. Maybe that's the point, but in the end I couldn't help but feel that I was just pushing buttons aimlessly.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I think I missed the connection to the theme, but had a lot of fun with this at least. Thanks for the laughs :)

teamflare 2015-04-28 11:27

Very funny and innovative :) Played it with two other people and we had a blast.

jcsirron 2015-05-02 20:18

It reminds me of an art-house performance. I love the execution.

rburema 2015-05-03 14:51

I think we can safely consider the exploding dancers a feature, not a bug. After all, a dancer would need to train hard to have that kind of agility! :-p

More seriously, I really like stilted the mood in this piece.

@Marcos: I think the little dots are your 'health' ... they go down when you bump into walls a lot (also: one different color per dancer). But not when you flop out on the floor (I think?)... I mean it's 'modern' dancing after all ;-)
