Being able to scratch like a DJ, just made me laugh! Fun entry! Good job!

Could you also play and rate my game too?

Cool Game! It's funny and enjoyable. Good Luck!

Liked a lot the game! At first it was a bit difficult to understand but after a few tries it was quite easy and very funny. It was very original the way the character sprites were done.

Innovation full power haha good game! it was easy to understand and play, enjoyable and unique on this jam  I have to say!

I would really appreciate your opinion on mine as well if you have a moment.

The Good:

  • Humour - the art, music, gameplay and story all come together to form a funny experience.  Everything seems like it was added with a purpose
  • Artstyle - I really liked the artistic design of your game. Objects seemed pixelated and out-of-place, like the blurry window pop-ups and the poorly cropped girl that danced at 3 frames per second. This would be considered bad in an average game, but it created the opposite effect in yours, and added to the surrealism
  • Controls - controlling the character with the disc felt intuitive and easy. Slowing down time was also a welcome feature
  • Concept - it's a very unique game, definitely wouldn't have thought of it myself, and haven't played anything like it

Could improve:

  • Clarity - at the beginning, it was unclear what I was supposed to do. I kept getting punished by the stop sign. It took me a while to figure out I wasn't supposed to stop and just keep walking. Would also be nice if some objects weren't stuck on top of each other
  • Feedback - I would've added a different state to each object that triggers when the player "clears" it. For example the stop sign rotating or falling down after you pass it, to indicate you don't have to walk normally anymore. It's nice that you added it to the small bird though
  • Variety - After a while, the game gets repetitive, especially because you have to start from the beginning. I recommend adding save points and perhaps a combo system, where you have to perform multiple dances at in a short time (just a suggestion, it's up to you where you take your game)

Overall:

It was an interesting and funny experience, but it wasn't compelling enough for me to complete it. I gave up when the big bird was covering the stop sign and I got killed by it. Despite this, it was the most unique game I've played so far.

Thank you for your detailed feedback! This is very helpful.

This game is so great :D I had a lot of fun playing, specially with the songs changing which are a really great addition to the game itself. Also, thanks for putting the instructions below, I almost missed them. It would have been nice to have them in-game. Great job! You did really well.

If you could give my game a play and a rate, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Developer

We added the instructions after the first person to play test it was completely confused. Unfortunately we can’t modify the game until voting is over.. Thanks for your feedback and I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

The writing on this game is really interesting and fun! I think there should be a note somewhere in game that explains what the different colors do, other that that it's a cool concept!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Very good game! A little weird to get used to but once you understand what each move does I actually enjoyed it a lot! 

Developer

We dropped the ball a little on instructions/tutorial. Glad you enjoyed it.

Ok this game was actually great and hillarious. This was the first game I saw when the jam was over on Saturday. I think the mechanic is really fun and its a good game idea. I also liked the title scren and how its all on like a computer screen adn you have the notes to tell you what to do. Anyways, this idea was really fun and creative!

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Submitted
