The presentation is great here, although I couldn't figure out how to move dancers into the way of the darts reliably so sometimes I'd have 2-3 blue dancers and I'd still take a dart to the face? I still had a good time playing though.
very creative concept! I like the mechanic too. I think adding a points system or a distance indicator would be cool, to keep players engaged to want to beat their highscore! (adding a leaderboard would be a plus!) Good work!
I'd appreciate if you could play/rate my game as well! :)
Very original take on the theme, I really like it! The art and music are great, the voices really added to the charm.
Wow this is such an interesting take on the theme! The presentation is so good, I agree with most of the other comments: the sound effects and the animations make it especially charming. I would absolutely love to see this developed more because its already buckets of fun! Such great work for 48 hours!
Thanks! I've just tried your game and it's a lot of fun too! I will work on a more complete and polished version of the game after the end of the voting period!
I enjoyed playing this, and the sound (especially the voice acting) and visuals were great. Dramatic and fitting. There was a point where all of my dancers would suddenly collapse, and I was never able to survive that. I'm not sure why that happens, but it's funny enough that I found it appropriate. Thanks for making this!
Thank you for the feeeback!
You lose all your dancers when you bump into a crowd of people. You have to throw a dancer at them before you hit them!
The voices of the dancers are hilarious. I love it. This game has a lot of potential. I can see it being either an endless runner type of game or something with levels to it that gradually get more difficult. It's a very fun game to go through and I quite enjoyed the music a lot.
One thing that I would suggest this game try to do is teach me to clear a crowd by yeeting a dancer into them because I accidentally found that out after a while and before learning about it I would crash into the crowd and lose all my dancers.
As it stands right now if I accidentally grab a few blue dancers in front of me (or in some wierd position) I have to yeet one of them to grab someone else because that new dancer is in a spot where my umbrella is blocked by the blue dancers I have right now. This leads to accidentally yeeting dancers to grab new ones which doesn't feel amazing. I want to say that I want the ability to add more dancers without having to have free space for my umbrella to get them but at the same time I like having to plan my dance formation or have a yellow dancer on me at all time so I can have opportunities to grab dancers when I get that perfect angle. Either way that's my feelings on that grabbing dancers thing (sorry I couldn't give a suggestion on this).
We didn't have enough time to put the ending that we had in mind so we plan to finish this game after the votings ends! Thank you very much for the feedback, it's very helpful :)
Absolutely original and fun. Artwork greatly fits with the game concept.
hahaha i love it
solid 8/10 from me. Love the concept.
Digging through half backed games to get to this one is quite a relief! Congrats, it looks great, plays smoothly and is quite fun!
Liked the setting and pixel art!
fun and challenging
