Nice idea, but I didn't like having to watch through the beginning every time when I restart the game

Very fun game. I was a bit confused about the fail criteria (sometimes I'd miss some dancers and I'd still pass). But still very fun. Enjoyed the music too. :)

@fserb, if you passed that means the last guy died before you made him dance -> insta next level ;) You can fail only when the timer runs out, people can die regardless.

Timer seems super harsh, especially when the restart loop has unskippable cutscenes in it :)

Nice idea for a game though, and I dug the stick figure animations dancing - Reminded me a lonely Island song

I myself thought the boombox was a bit on the small side. Interesting game mechanic. I think I had beginner's luck on the first play as I played all the way through and no one died of sadness, but my subsequent attempts were more like my attempts at dancing in real life, ie, not so good.

great game but retrys should be just one button press away from when you die

Nice game, pretty fun !

Interesting idea. But your character moves around like he's on roller skates, and when I shot a note the game crashed. Still a nice little game though. Good job!

Brilliant game. Simple and well executed, and doesn't give you enough time to be sad about how little there is to do. This game is a metaphor for itself.

Given exactly what the game is going for, I don't know what I would do to improve it.

I really like the dancers animations, the art is simple yet very nice and fun :D

This game is so much fun! :)

hehe. I like the concept of using music. good job :D !

The music and dancing animations come together joyfully! The timers are a little strict and it takes too long to loop around and start playing again -- I want to get back into the game, because it's fun!

Nice game!

Sometimes where the guys were at, made it almost impossible to complete the level due to the strict timer. Also seeing the start screen all the time, made me put off a little bit. (Really needed a quick start) Other than that, great simple graphics, good controls and a nice simple beat. :)

I like the simple art and the cool dance animations.

rallebauz 2015-04-22 09:04

Cool game, I like the dancing animations!

Very short game, but I really loved it! I included it in part 3 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Q8RvVjW24Io

fuzzywuzzie 2015-04-22 21:04

Love it!

rudra 2015-04-24 16:55

Nice game :) Pretty fun to play :) I found myself playing it for a long time :)

I liked it a lot! Everything is very polished and the music and dancing animations are top notch. Biggest complaint i have is the waiting time after you die. Also maybe it's too hard at the beginning (You could start with 20 seconds, and get less seconds every round)
