A fun little idea, even though it did not really feel like the occasions when you can attack match up with the beat of the music. Also it is really easy to beat the game by just waiting for all the enemies to line up and defeat them with one attack. But overall it is a cool game with fun mechanics and funky music!

Great idea, but it was very hard for me to land a successful attack. When it worked it was fun though.

Good idea, nice coherent visuals that really transmits something: great job! This wouldn't mind some more playtest to get more specific and accurate with the gameplay of course (it was a bit difficult for me to get that I had to press a direction with the attack) but it's very nice. + Awesome music

@nemix Thanks for the feedback. Look forward to spending more time playtesting next time :~)

@joe-the-really-old Well this game jam's schedule is pretty tight so it's a very good job

Great game. Gameplay bit vobly. I love the atmosphere.

Graphics and Sounds are good. But i did not quite get what this have to do with "Life is a Currency"...

I didn't really get how you interpreted the theme but it's a quite fun small game! (At the beginning it's cool, but after you play it for a bit though, you begin to make circles and nothing really happens.)

I will give the five stars for humor right back :-)

At first I did not even know that you needed to press SPACE at all. I just danced with those guys and it was fun already. Using SPACE however, added something to the game ;-)

The music is great and I love the graphics. This game is mega Disco. I too found out that you can just line them all up and convert them to Discomaniacs but that is OK, we know they want it!

Overall a really cool entry, I am not much of a rythm game guy usually but this one is really awesome!

@gonutz thanks ;)

Cool little game with an interesting idea, although I don't know how it relates to the theme. Gameplay is a little confusing at first, with it being unclear just what you need to do, but overall very good

By far one of my favorite walk animations so far

Played for about 5 minutes and don't think I got a single shot off correctly :laughing: did make me chuckle! Good effort :thumbsup:

Super creative! Love the music and the art style. Definitely creates a fun mood! Very difficult though!

Wow this is tough! Great music and nice effect with the dancefloor. Couldn't get beyond a few beats trying to kill the enemy dancers.

I like the idea and did get a dance group going, but sometimes I think it randomly restarted? Tricky to get attacks right but satisfying!

pokenoufl 2019-04-30 00:49

Love the walk cycle!

von-vista 2019-04-30 02:21

This game stands out from the humor. The graphics and music really add up to the condescending feeling of getting chased by dancing zombies while freaking dancing. Good game, solid submission!

potatolain 2019-04-30 05:12

I don't have a whole lot to add that others haven't already said, but I really liked the combination of music and gameplay this entry provided! It was really fun to get the hang of, even if the timing seemed a little off.

It wasn't super clear what winning and losing looked like - I think I "won" twice and thought I missed a guy running up to me. It'd be awesome to have a win stream (unless I really did get picked off those times!)

That said this was a highlight of the games I've played so far. Great entry!

Great game, cool idea and fun mood! :man_dancing: :man_dancing: :man_dancing:

I really like the idea, good job

dbr 2019-04-30 20:44

I just discovered that I don't know how to dance xD. Nice game and songs!

rgarbati 2019-04-30 21:58

Demon of the dancefloor take my soul in sacrifice !!!! Just love the idea and the realization, well done, you have a great nice little game here !

anstabo 2019-04-30 22:42

rafa-braga 2019-05-01 19:52

Very interesting game, found it quite hard but very entertaining. An unusual take on the theme but well done nonetheless.
