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.

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...

really loved this game, but for some reason the bosses just kept getting +10 on some of there rolls for some reason. maybe it was something I did, not sure
