Early on, the game doesn't do much. 7/26/2022 - You can move about and do some dance-offs. Once you run out of confidence, you'll be stuck at a town. #NeedLifeCoaches

Briefly explain your games interpretation of the Pacifist theme?
DANCE OFF!!!
Really the mechanism is mostly like combat, but instead of HP it uses "confidence", and losing all confidence is a setback, but not total defeat!

Other comments (Code / Art / Sound / Audio)
As far as code, we could interpret it as "from scratch" using the "SPLORR!! engine", or just interpret it as "reused a small amount of code".

Did you enjoy the jam? Is there anything you'd change if you could start over?
No regerts.

Aren't you awesome for being creative and taking part?

Yes

I will never be a dance princess :(

I wanted to. but even the noobs would decimate me (from a dance perspective!). The Hip Hop noobs left me feeling like I had two left feet :(

A good example of how a game that normally could revolve around combat could mechanically be identical - just without the violence and death!

A pleasure as always, Grumpy!

Pretty cool Dancing RPG. It took me awhile to realize I needed snax to up my enthusiam in order to recover. A lot of Pokemon vibes here! Also took me awhile to realize some moves are weak against certain types of dancers giving plus or minus to my dice rolls. I got a LOT of low dice rolls., so I spent a good amount recovering. I equipped the tattoos but I'm not sure what effect it had. Pretty tough RPG for a dancing game. I've spent a long time being a dancing princess, I think ill go do some push-ups and work on my car for awhile...
