Hi, thank you so much for playing and your feedback!!
Yes, I think I made it a bit more difficult than I'd like, and after the jam I'd like to add more granular controls, but there is an option to reduce the game speed to x0.5 in the settings. It may be a bit too slow, that's why I want to add more fine control.
The feedback when a player joins another dancer is one of the main things I want to fix, because the comments I got overall said that it was tricky to get at first, so thank you so much for pointing that out, I'll try to make it better as well.
Lastly, I'm aware of the input bug, it is kind of completely my fault. I made the game with no engine and when I ported it to the web, I forgot to make the html canvas element selectable, so if you lose focus it can't be gained again. So sorry about that, it is a game breaking bug, but I noticed it after the submissions were closed. Thank you so much for taking the time to play and write such a complete review, hope you still enjoyed it!! :D
