To begin with, the music absolutely slaps. The dog barks and airhorns are fantastic additions.
The dance moves are amazing. One of the dances had the finishing move of mooning the audience, and I swear there were jiggle physics. oh my. All of the art is fantastic for that matter. The characters are adorable, even the old man you play as. The DJ looks like the kinda guy I want to hang out with, and all the party-goers have style and personality, and it's all *so well drawn*.
The inclusion of achievements is brilliant, and it adds a lot of replay value. That's the kind of stuff you don't find in many jam games, but elevates this one way above the rest.
At one point I had an audience of zero (even had an achievement for it) so I didn't bother dancing. It was genuinely hilarious looking at the sad old man with colorful spotlights all around him. HA!
Gameplay wise, I noticed you can just mash all 4 arrow keys to correctly get every beat successfully. You probably would want to figure out a way to prevent that.
The humor and mood are amazing, and you have set up a fantastic scene! Brilliant work all around!

Very cool art style! Also very fun game.
The animations are slick and the dancing is great, really love the presentation. The theme felt a bit bland in its implementation, but still a super cute and really well executed idea. Great work!
Wow what an epic game. The music is amazing and the graphics looks really professional and fun at the same time. Really nice short game :)
Wow! This is a super polished end product for 72 hours, congrats! Art is good and the systems are clean. My only critiques are that it isn't super clear how the students "see" you (it doesn't seem to relate to if they're facing you), that the principal's movement randomly slows sometimes (it doesn't seem to be related to walking through groups of students), and that the dancing prompts seem to become desynchronized from the beat dropping towards the end of prom. Props nonetheless and good work, you've got a solid team here.

I can only agree with the person commenting before me! This is a really cool game and the details are amazing! The only thing i dont like is that i have to focus so much on the arrows, i barely see the dude dance, but that is my problem. Really a job well done!

No joke, 5/5/5/5/5/5/5 (or however many categories there are).
Nailed everything , from the animations (sick dance moves) to the music to the atmosphere.
The little details, like the yearbook menu, are just amazing. Plus, ACHIEVEMNTS? You guys slayed it.
Such a delightful game, had me grinning the whole time! The core concept is such a fun idea, and the dance moves are great. Music is also really good. Such a solid all-around package.
Having some indication when the dance portion is going to start would be handy. The students just sort of wander around and mostly congregate where the game starts so there feels little to no reason to move. Maybe the students could move away from you every time you dance (out of embracement) so you then have to hunt them down.
Really good stuff so glad i got to play this.
I am now a tasty high school principal... however that may sound. Brillinat Job! <3
You've done a great job on all fronts: graphics look beautiful, sound work is done perfectly and the gameplay itself feels flawless. It was hard at first to look at professor while trying to do a perfect dance, but when I got used to the rhythm, I was able to fully enjoy that party beast's sick moves :smile:
the game is so polised ! art, animation, music are awesome ! the musical part is well balanced although I would have liked it to become a little harder from time to time, depending on whether we succeeded in the sequences or not Capture d’écran 2022-10-05 235033.png
Amazing work guys! Gamefeel is pretty juicy, art & animations are on point, congrats! :)

Super cool entry! The music and art is all amazing, great work for getting it to look so coherent with such a large team! In this game the split gameplay works super well as the two sides complement each other, you try to optimize to get into a crowd and then bust your best moves. The achievements really add replay value as well and I just liked to explore the whole area as there was so much to see. Great work everyone involved!
The art in the game is beautiful, everything is kept in its own style. The concept is interesting too. Good job!
Amazingly polished for something made in so little time. Just a bit unfortunate that it has so little replay value, but it is a very fun game for what it is.

I really enjoyed this, it was good fun. My only real gripe is after you've done your first dance set the game doesn't really challenge you to do much beyond that. You just repeat until the end
